savings at iconic hotels including Refinery Hotel, Pod Hotels, The

Watch This: Travel Inspiration
EarthCam’s ‘25 Most Interesting Webcams of 2015’ just
might be the ultimate in armchair travel. At the end of each year a
panel of judges and EarthCam producers review footage from thousands of
cameras to determine the top 25 most unique and interesting webcams, so
you can watch people hitting the slopes in Breckenridge, CO; visiting
the Daytona International Speedway in FL; or experiencing life under
the sea at the Philippine Coral Reef in San Francisco.
Watching other people living the dream might be motivation to use all those vacation days in 2016!
California on Ice
El
Nino or not, LA doesn't usually come to mind as an ice-skating
destination. But if you're visiting the City of Angels you can get your
skate on now through January 24th at a 7,000-square-foot outdoor ice
skating rink known as Woodland Hills Ice.
The rink offers family nights, lets you book birthday parties and
fundraising events, and has a skating school. Not in LA but looking for
activity ideas? Here are some family-fun fitness events happening across the country this January.
