Busy Hong Kong markets

Hong Kong is a Chinese delight whose identity is constantly in flux and which offers visitors something new every time they set foot on this island metropolis. Whether you explore Hong Kong Island or the Kowloon area, you will certainly understand why it is often referred to as the point where "East meets West."   Hong Kong's British colonial roots and undeniable Chinese influences make this world famous destination a unique and ever-changing cultural blend. A veritable shopper's paradise, this exotic locale offers amazing amounts of choice coupled with low prices and high quality. When you aren't taking in the stores, visit such sites as the historic clock tower, Cultural Centre, Tin Lau Temple and more.

Sail through the city's harbor on the illustrious Star Ferry or take a more traditional form of transportation courtesy of an ancient Chinese Junk. Dine on fresh seafood caught by inhabitants of floating villages who never set foot on land from the comfort of an enormous floating restaurant. Whatever your choice to explore, Hong Kong Island and Kowloon will be a journey you will never forget.

EA Tours'- Florida Spanish Heritage Trail program is a new addition created so that students and teachers can explore Florida's ancestral past.  Four fantastic days of touring are planned around visiting Pensacola, Tallahassee and Saint Augustine bringing visitors face to face with the state's rich cultural heritage.  Not a widely known fact, the first landing of Europeans (Spanish) in North America was at present-day Pensacola.  After the failed-attempt in Pensacola, the Spanish explorers eventually returned to Florida to settle Saint Augustine, a landmark city for Florida history.  Its establishment in 1565 makes it the oldest city in the United States, beating out the English settlement of Jamestown by forty years. A uniquely timeless example of Spanish settlement and adventurous spirit, the city is full of old churches, museums, fortifications and more. Climb the 219 steps of the Saint Augustine Lighthouse, visit the purported Fountain of Youth, or even the world's oldest wooden schoolhouse.  Regardless of where you begin your trek of the trail, a program to trace the state's historic past would not be complete without stopping along the route at the capital city of Tallahassee.  Complete with the Florida History Museum and the Governor's Mansion, Tallahassee is always a welcome stop.

Some schools opt to add an overnight in the entertainment capital of the state, Orlando.  Whether you choose to spend the day at Universal, Disney or Seaworld followed by dinner at a fun-filled dinner show, your time in Orlando is always a welcome respite before heading home.
