Martinique is an island in the eastern Caribbean Sea, an overseas département of France and a French région. As part of France, Martinique is also part of the European Union and thus the currency used is the euro.
The beauty and the diversity of Martinique beaches is simply amazing. They encompass a range of colours from the luminous white sand to the deep black of the volcanic beaches. The sea bed is of great beauty, sheltering shoals with colourful fishes. Add to that the pleasure to go bathing through transparent water of more than 25°C.
Located in the Mid-Atlantic region of the United States of America, New York state was one of the original 13 British colonies. Often overshadowed by its eponymous megacity, the state has incredible historical sites throughout the north. Outside of its densely populated southeast corner, New York is largely agricultural. It is a major producer of dairy products (3rd in the nation after California and Wisconsin), is the nation's most prolific grower of cabbage, and has an expanding wine industry.
Some people say that New York has two regions: New York City, and "Upstate", i.e., everything else. In fact New York is a large state with a number of beautiful regions.
From the Blue Ridge Mountains in the North to the beautiful beaches along the Atlantic Coast; from the thriving, bustling metropolis of Atlanta, to the relaxed, languid atmosphere of Savannah and the smaller cities and towns, this state in the southeastern United States has something to offer everyone.

Washington, D.C., or the District of Columbia, is the capital of the United States of America. It was established in 1791 by an act of the infant United States Congress. To avoid a dispute between the various states and regions about which city should be the capital of the new nation, Congress established this brand new city, outside any existing state. Washington was a planned city, designed by architect Pierre Charles L'Enfant specifically to house the federal government.
Its history, beautiful architecture, and excellent cultural centers attract millions each year. It is bordered by the states of Virginia and Maryland.
Massachusetts is one of the oldest states in America, dating back to the foundation of the Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1620. The name Massachusetts comes from Algonquian Indian words that mean the great mountain.
Massachusetts is an excellent travel destination, noted for many of its historical sites as well as diverse regional flavors. The eastern Massachusetts Bay area of the state is very metropolitan, with Boston at its hub. Here you can find great cooking, fresh seafood, and an intense concentration of colleges and universities.
To the south of Boston is Cape Cod, a tremendously popular vacation spot and to the West you'll find the Blackstone Valley National Corridor, a vast expanse of rolling hills and small towns, as well as some of the most unique vineyards in the East Coast.
To the far west, you'll meet more rural areas, the Berkshire Hills, the Appalachian Trail, and excellent skiing.
