While most tourists generally opt to visit the bigger cities within the United States, Fayetteville, Arkansas boasts a unique southern charm. Fayetteville is a relatively small town but still manages to please its visitors with just enough attractions, off-the-beaten path spots and the occasional sporting extravaganza to fill a three-day weekend.

The island of Puerto Rico isn't techically a foreign country, but it is a world away from the typical weekend vacation to Florida. The main city on this great island is San Juan, which is a heady mix of heat, food, rum and Latin beats.
