104 15

    Rome

    • Every spring in the heart of Rome, the 18th century Spanish Steps are transformed into an azalea garden, with pots of these beautiful blooms lining the route. Ascending from the Piazza di Spagna, the Steps are a sea of scarlet flowers, said to be a traditional welcome for the anniversary of spring. At the top end of the Steps is the Trinita dei Monti Church in the piazza of the same name. Make the 138-step climb to the top, or take the elevator that is part of the nearby Metro complex. Other interesting places in the vicinity include Babington's Tea Room serving traditional English teas and pastries, the Trevi Fountain, the Villa Borghese park, and the chic Via Veneto with its up-scale hotels.

    Hong Kong

    • Hong Kong is among the most exciting cities in the world, and an ideal anniversary holiday destination. Consider a stay at the stately Peninsula Hotel on the Kowloon Peninsula, "The Grande Dame of the Far East." Take time to enjoy afternoon tea and a fine selection of pastries, in the lobby café, and watch the world go by while sipping hot tea in porcelain teacups and poured from dainty silver teapots. Enjoy fine Chinese cuisine. Go shopping at virtually every turn. Glide across legendary Hong Kong Harbor on the Star Ferry. Ride the Peak Tram to the top of Victoria Peak. Dine at one of the Peak Tower restaurants and at sunset, watch the twinkling night lights of Hong Kong and Kowloon create a spectacular landscape portrait. There's also the magic of Hong Kong Disneyland on outlying Lantau Island.

    London

    • In London, the Queen's Official Birthday is celebrated every year with a traditional ceremony known as "Trooping the Colour." This tradition stems from the 17th century, when a regiment's colors were trooped before its soldiers every day to ensure that they would be recognizable in times of battle. Today's ceremony involves about 1400 officers in military regalia, 200 horses and 400 musicians. Queen Elizabeth II takes the salute. Trooping the Colour is usually held during the first or second Saturday in June, an ideal time to visit London for this and its many other attractions.

    Hawaii

    • The Hawaiian Islands provide something to suit every anniversary celebration. There are the beautiful beaches of Kauai, the historic Iolani Palace of the Hawaiian monarchy on Oahu, the world's tallest sea cliffs on Molokai, the spinner dolphins at Hulopoe Bay on Lanai, whale watching excursions on Maui and the Kilauea volcano on the Big Island.

    Las Vegas

    • Celebrate a personal or corporate anniversary in Las Vegas where there is a dazzling array of everything, from hotels and casinos to shows, shopping and cuisine. Live like an emperor at Caesar's Palace. Enjoy a superb meal and the scenery 800 feet above the city at the Stratosphere's Top of the World revolving restaurant. Try your luck at one of the numerous hotel casinos, like the Bellagio, Harrah's, Luxor, New York, New York, Paris and more.
