Visit Indian Niagara

Beautiful !! I don't know how many of us Indians are aware of this place........ maybe some Keralites are.  
Now maybe some more of you are and if you send this to some of your friends, more people will know that
we have something almost as beautiful as Niagara in our country. 


T
his breath taking natural picturesque splendor located at a road distance of 65 Kms from Trichur (Kerala)
& 60 Kms from Cochin International airport. Try to chalk out a holiday in September just after the monsoons.
 The waterfalls will be in full force then.  A tranquil & much needed escape from the troubles & stress of life!

Labor Day Getaways and Special Events

Labor Day 2010: Things to Do for this Long Weekend

Since 1884, the first Monday in September has been a holiday in the US, as a tribute to workers; Canada has the same (though spelled "Labour Day".) Many other countries have International Workers Day -- May Day-- instead, commemorating struggles for workers' rights.
To most people in North America, however, Labor Day is above all the last-blast of summer fun, and --for many kids-- the last day of freedom before Back to School. And even though many school districts now start classes in August, Labor Day long weekend is still a five-star farewell to summer time.
Below you'll find getaway packages and special events for Labor Day 2010, which falls on Monday Sept. 6th.
  • New York: Labor Day Parade
    The first Labor Day Parade was held in New York City, on September 5 1882, and there's still one in NYC today: trade union members, high school bands, politicians, police and fire departments, and more. Location is usually in Manhattan, on 5th Ave. (Check to see if this event is happening in 2010.)
  • Other Labor Day Events in DC
    Kensington Labor Day Parade has a day of family entertainment, as does Greenbelt Labor Day Festival; Renaissance Festival, free Blues Festival, Kids Day at Nationals Park, and lots more.
  • Detroit Labor Day Parade
    Detroit, aka "Motor City" -- where the automobile unions were born-- has a major Labor Day Parade that's one of the biggest in Michigan. The free three-day Detroit Jazz Fest is scheduled for Labor Day Weekend, too.
  • Irvington, VA: Irvington Stomp
    An event with a small-town feel, this "grape stomp" harvest festival celebrates wine-making in Irvington, VA, 1-½ hours east of Richmond; those close to Chesapeake Bay can arrive by boat. Grape Stomping Competitions, music, hayrides, corn maze, and more.
  • Orlando: Tom Joyner Family Reunion
    This big bash at Walt Disney World happens on Labor Day Weekend, with special entertainment plus theme park fun. Find out more at Blackamericaweb.com-- link above. (Or try a search for "Joyner" at Disney World.)
  • Multiple Cities - at GoCityKids
    GoCityKids is an excellent resource for kid-friendly happening in many major US cities, including Boston, Chicago, Denver, Miami, Philadelphia, New York, San Francisco, and Washington DC. Check the calendar for your city of choice to see what's up for Labor Day.
  • Copper Country Festival, CO
    Copper Mountain (a ski resort in winter) has a big bash on Labor Day Weekend, with big-name bands, street party, and "Copper Corral" for kids with free pony rides, face painting, etc.
Labor Day Weekend Specials at Family Resorts
Many family resorts have special end-of-summer bashes on Labor Day Weekend; below are a few samples.
  • Maine: Pointe Sebago Labor Day Weekend Package
    This family resort on Lake Sebago in southern Maine has 775 acres and a Labor Day package that includes buffet meals (lobster, at one), boat cruise, paddle boats, canoes, kayaks, daily supervised activities for all ages, entertainment, special rates for golf, special family and kids' activities.
  • Labor Day Weekend Packages - Canada
    It's Labour Day in Canada too (though spelled "Labor Day"): check out some weekend packages and resorts in scenic Jasper (Canadian Rockies), in Montreal, Halifax, and more.
  • Villa Roma Resort Hotel
    This family resort in the Catskills -- two hours from NYC-- has seasonal packages all year long, including Labor Day Weekend. Programs for all ages, tots to teens. Packages typically include meals, theme night dinner, kids programs, nightly entertainment. Be sure to check recent visitors' comments.

We think the best bang for your buck could be the Fiesta Americana.
For a limited time if you stay seven nights or more between now and September 30, 2010 we are throwing in an extra $200 in food and beverage credit.
Believe me, if you are a good swimmer that extra $200 in beverage credits will work out very nice each trip you take to their swim up pool bar!
