Krystal. Date of travel: Nov 2005
Picture this: You are driving down a secluded street in a small town. There is minor traffic, but that only means that you are that much closer to your destination. As you look out into the snow covered yards you see the neighborhood children standing at their handmade carts selling Coco and cookies to the passersby. You laugh as a small snowball fight starts amongst some of the younger children. Looking ahead you see the officer direct the next few cars to pass. You drive around the corner and suddenly your children begin to squeal, “I can see it! We’re here! Do you think that this is what the North Pole really looks like?� It’s possible! My name is Krystal Meehan, and I am writing to let you know about a Christmas lighting display in Millis, Massachusetts that will absolutely blow your mind. I mean, you have never seen anything like it before. Kevin Meehan, a local business man, and his family, began putting up a small display about 7 years ago for the neighbors and their children to enjoy. It started as a small family project. After the first 2 or 3 years though, he expanded his display and started a full drive through of his family’s farm. Every year he would build it up more and more until people were driving in from all of the surrounding towns to view the display. Well as some of you might know the reigning “King of Christmas�, Mr. Mervin Whipple, of Connecticut resigned from his thrown in December of 2003 due to what he called a “Lack of Christmas Spirit�. Mr. Whipple then sold his entire stock of Christmas decorum to Mr. Meehan. Last year, for the first time, both Mr. Whipple’s Display and Mr. Meehan’s Display were united to form the Millis Wonderland. There are acres upon acres lit from top to bottom, 45+ workshops where all of Santa’s friends, family and elves are preparing for the coming holiday, a real tugboat, and Santa himself sitting 40 feet tall to great each and every one of you. Yes this is a real place, and I am inviting you to come through and take a look for yourself. Please visit our website at www.MillisWonderland.com for directions. Or feel free to contact me for more information, Monday through Friday 8AM to 5PM at 508-473-2900, or anytime on my cell at 508-294-6664. We open on Thanksgiving night at 6PM.

Great city break - Nicola Buttle. Date of travel: Oct 2003
Boston is a great city break for all ages. It has an influential Business district and Chinatown serving good Chinese food. The food speciality is of course the seafood especially lobster fresh from the Cape Cod. The Parks, churches, galleries, statues and Charles River along with it's cobbled streets adds to Boston's Charm. You can take a trolley tour of the city which takes you to the Famous Harvard University, Quincy Market, Copley Square where you can hit the shops, take a visit to the Boston Tea Party Ship and Museum. The Nighlife is great with lots of clubs to choose from and you can very easily 'club hop', but don't forget to take your passport for identification or you will be refused entry. Tour Operator: kuoni
