But the Hawaiian islands are also rich in history and culture.

On the north shore of Hawaii's island of Oahu you'll find the Polynesian Culture Centre. There, each group of Hawaiian islands is represented in the form of a mini-village from that particular island chain.

To show our son Anton just how wonderful French culture is, I suggested our family visit Quebec City over March Break.

Then I put Anton in charge of planning the trip.

Anton started his research sites like www.TripAdvisor.com and www.bonjourquebec.com, Quebec's tourism site. He also talked with Micheline Lachance from Tourisme Quebec.

Anton: I'm dying to see the Ice Hotel. It seems impossible. What's it like?

Micheline: The tour shows you what each type of room is like and how you can sleep on an ice bed and drink in ice glasses. Each room has ice sculptures with different scenes of nature.

Anton: I read Quebec produces about 80 per cent of the world's maple syrup. Is March a good time to visit a sugar shack?
