The American Dream: Check out United States Honeymoon Destinations

Whether you're an American wanting to re-discover your own country, or a foreigner wanting to see the sights and sounds of the beautiful, red-striped USA and experience the ultimate American dream, a USA honeymoon with your loved one could prove to be one good way to a life of marital bliss.

From Maine to Hawaii, from Alaska to Florida, you get to enjoy an assortment of activities - surfing and swimming for the couple who like the waters, snowboarding and skiing for a winter honeymoon, rock climbing and hiking for the outdoor couple, windsurfing for the more adventurous type and many others you can choose from.

Looking for some sun? Explore Florida on your honeymoon. Visit the Caladesi Island State Park and go traipsing in its white sand shores and the boat ride. The Blue Spring State Park in Florida offers fishing activities, scuba diving and swimming and a look at the Manatees. There's also the Bok Sanctuary, popular for the singing Tower and the Coral Castle Gallery with the Three Bears' Grotto.

On the other hand, if you're looking for more action, you can put California as your honeymoon destination. Walk down the streets and take snapshots of the famous statues of Auburn, like the naked man wrestling with the chains, the coolie and the Amazon Archers. Explore folk art at the Salvation Mountain or go have your temperatures' checked by the Baker Thermometer, the world's largest thermometer. Of course, don't; ever forget to visit Hollywood and get a chance to get up close and personal with the Hollywood celebrities. Who knows the two of you may star in one of the movies being filmed there?

For those who'd like to go on the wilder side, go north with an Alaskan honeymoon. Go bear-sighting at the Anan Wildlife Observatory and at Pack Creek. Don't definitely miss the Alaskan Native Heritage Center and the Anchorage Museum of History and Art for a glimpse of Alaska's culture and local history. Climb Mt. McKinley, the highest peak in the North American region at the Denali National Park and discover the local flora and fauna at the Alaska Sea Life Center, which, by the way, also houses many bird species and sea mammals.

Other things to watch out for in your USA honeymoon destinations are the country's string of national parks - the Yellowstone National Park, famous for the throngs and the sparring bull elks, the Joshua Tree National Park with its yucca tree, and the Texas's Guadalupe Mountains National Park for a winter, snow-filled honeymoon.

Check out Chinatown and see a different culture in San Francisco. Don't forget to visit New Mexico and have a taste of their spicy, tasty Tacos and take photos of the adobe constructions. Go crazy over the sights and sounds of Las Vegas - the casinos, the cabarets, the clubs.

Of course check out local American delicacies like the American pie, go shopping at Fifth Avenue and walk holding hands at Central Park - a natural refuge in the middle of the busy city.

Whether it's a spring or a winter honeymoon you're planning with your loved one, USA offers you more than just the sights, the sounds, the smell and the taste of American beauty. It offers variety, color, and the idyllic start to a future filled with marital bliss.

Ghost Hunt at the Ancient Ram Inn, Wotton Under Edge, United Kingdom

As a big fan of the TV show Most Haunted I started to visit some of their positions. Last week I went to Skirrid Inn in Abergavenny, who was a fascinating and beautiful place full of history, but nothing happened. But three weeks before I went to The Ancient Ram Inn Wotton Under Edge.

I thought it would be nice just to go and a picture of the outside, just to say that we were there, but as luck would have it when we arrived, the owner, Johnwas out watering his plants. My mom and I thought it would be a nice touch up and say hello to him and a donation for the construction of this historic building to hold. E 'was really nice and insisted on showing us around as we had traveled all the way from Cardiff.

Unfortunately I only had a regular digital camera (not the night vision) and the house was very dark, I could not see much. In any case we were, where the tomb was open and I took these 3 Funny Little red flashing lightson my camera (I gave this recording) I'm not sure if its paranormal or not, but I could not see with the naked eye.

We then passed the barn (where Stuart had a series of Most Haunted in a spirit), but fortunately nothing happened with us while we were there. We went upstairs and John (the owner) said that he would leave and went out. I'm looking to the point that we were alone, due to stress what happened next. It 's a very small building, so if anyone has been towe would have known.

Anyway, let the witches room and try to record all around to get a shot without success. Then we went into a sort of third floor attic and asked if anyone was there to make noise. At the end of this sentence, we heard three loud taps. I can not say what it was, perhaps, had come from outside or something, but it seemed that both the attic. We were too afraid to ask again, so I think we'll never know.

So, aftergo back in the garden, but before deciding I had to take a last look in the room witches again. I wish I never did because I went there again and I swear that there was a book lying on the floor of the bed and I'm sure it was not previously as 99.9 percent. The thing that scared me the title of the book - "invoices and curses.

However, we thanked the owner - John for his hospitality and made a hasty exit.

You can make your mind upBut I swear it is a true account of our visit to the old Ram Inn!
