Brasov: Transportation between cities and to sights in Romania
I was in Romania 14 years ago, but I don't think the situation has changed much. You can easily get to most places by train, and some of them by bus. I went everywhere you mention (except Hoia Forest) and don't remember having... See More
New England: Road trip ideas from NYC to Maine with teens. Go! :)
It might be a bit of a tourist-trap, but the city of Salem (Massachusetts), just north of Boston could be of interest, especially with teen girls. There are a few museums, some really oriented towards the grim history of the town and really help understand... See More

Quebec: What to do in Tadoussac area in August ?
You're in Tadoussac to do some whale-watching, I'm assuming? If not, I highly recommend it, as it's the reason why most people go there in the first place. Tadoussac in itself is a great town to visit, and it will be booming with activities (and tourists) in... See More
