3 . Norhern Michigan knows how to celebrate summer’s arrival. This month, join a decades-long party that greets the sun’s traditional cannon (大炮) firing and the cheering on of a ferry (渡船) launch.

Fort Mackinac

It’s a tradition for the Lilac Queen to fire the first cannon when Port Mackinac opens for the season. This year brings back a popular program that lets visitors learn to drill like an 1880s soldier, as well as a new reading room offering the chance to learn history through newspapers of the day. You may even share a ferry over to the island with a horse or two.

Fishtown

The annual “Here comes the Sun” party has been rocking historic Fishtown every Memorial Day Monday for 30 years. This year, The Cove restaurant is bringing back the long-time traditions: live band, outdoor barbecue, and a rowboat icing down the beer as it floats on the Leland River.

Benzie County

Nothing says season opener of summer like Honor’s chance to catch the family-friendly double feature at The Cherry Bowl Drive-in. Pre-movie, make time for onsite mini golf and taking in the cartoons that feature dancing hot dogs. Don’t forget to grab a box of popcorn topped with real butter.

Ludington

The entire town lines the streets of Ludington when the SS Badger (獾) sets sail for the season on May 12. Even first-time sailors on this four-hour Lake Michigan ferry will find it hard to resist joining the quiz (with prizes), or catching an on-board movie. Look for themed shoreline sails, too, that travel along Ludington’s coast with live entertainment.

5 . Many people are a little scared by the term “mountain biking” because they think it implies the need for extreme physical fitness or some kind of death wish. But in actual fact there are different forms of mountain biking, some of which provide a great chance to get out in the great outdoors and enjoy the main attraction that brings people to New Zealand-the beauty of nature.

Downhill Mountain Biking

Downhill mountain biking is one of the craziest sport in New Zealand, and the one which will likely appeal most to New Zealand adventure travel tourists. It can be extremely dangerous. If you haven’t tried it before, stick to a small track without a steep incline, and make sure you wear the correct safety gear such as a helmet and chest plate.

Long Distance Mountain Biking

Many New Zealanders treat mountain biking as a serious sport and many also use it as their primary way of keeping fit. Compared to many other countries, a cross-country tour by bike is relatively easy and safe on New Zealand roads. However, if you want to push yourself physically and experience parts of New Zealand which are “off the beaten trail,” a mountain bike trek may be ideal for you.

Scenic Mountain Biking

You can experience the freedom of mountain biking through the New Zealand landscape even if you aren’t particularly adventurous or fit. In fact, if you have the time, biking is one of the best ways to see the country. You can get a taste of some of the easier, flatter trails through the National Parks and forests. The wine-growing regions are also good areas for guided scenic bike tours. These areas tend to be relatively flat and have a good climate for enjoying some open outdoors.

10 . My husband and I recently went on a package holiday. Eyebrows (眉毛) were raised. I am a travel writer, you see, and so people expect me to be doing things such as backpacking between hand-selected fincas (庄园) in Spain or carefully planning an independent Italian food tour.

I don’t want to check every airline for the cheapest flights or research local taxi fares to avoid being cheated at the airport. My time, like yours, is valuable. Honestly, I just want somebody else to do the boring things for me. This is where the good old package holiday comes in. Reliable and extremely easy to book, a package holiday takes care of all the details for you. My goodness, I want that — and I am not alone.

Even better, a package holiday comes with support. Sunvil, for example, has 60 enthusiastic travel experts in its London office, as well as numerous representatives around the world. All are ready to offer proper, in-the-know (消息灵通的) advice on everything from the best restaurants to the must-visit spots. There are short trips that Sunvil’s own travel experts have enjoyed, and when it comes to finding a place to stay, the majority of Sunvil accommodation is locally owned and has been checked out thoroughly.

This sort of expert knowledge is invaluable. On my package holiday earlier this year, I was determined to try the local restaurant, and my representative told me how to hire a car for a day’s exploration and which sights were worth making time for. I may have been on a package holiday, but my experience was entirely personal.

And so, when I returned from my holiday, I told my friends that I had become a fan of package holidays. I love the peace of mind that comes with knowing there is a support system in place. I love the expert knowledge that can lead me to the freshest fish and sunniest beach. And above all, I don’t have to do any of the boring things. This is truly the way to travel.
