The 2,670 foot long bridge towers 150 feet over the Ohio River. The walkway is only open to pedestrians.

The islands of Aruba, Bonaire and Curacao while not only beautiful provide the least risk of having your vacation ruined by a storm.

It seems like there’s always a new study out about what food is good for you.
