If you're looking for a destination that's just a little bit special for the summer vacation then you might want to think about Jordan. And with visitor numbers down last year, caused in part by uncertainty over the civil war raging in northern neighbour Syria, 2013 in particular might be a good year to find a real value-for-money bargain. Who doesn't want that?

This museum covers military history from the Civil War to modern conflicts.

What I liked most about the museum were the many family friendly exhibits that were scattered throughout the three story museum.

Lonely Planet in shocking author admission of plagiarism and corruption. Roman catacombs, Civil War destinations, and more airline bankruptcies. It's a 'fun' week in travel.
