Love this site. We buy Birkenstock shoes exclusively due to sore feet, and the Birkies are the best for us. We have found the Birkenstockexpress website to be very accurate and easy to use. If you are a smart shopper, you can find huge discounts and free shipping almost all the time. We especially like the fact that online ordering is tax free in many states. All you need to know is your European shoe size.

We have used the homeaway website to find private lodging in various areas of the US.
It is very detailed and very accurate, IF you really read the reviews. We had one of the best stays in our life in Rockport, Mass. Based upon several reviews of cottages. If you do not like to stay in hotels/motels... this is a great site to use.

This is a specific railroad history site, specializing in Florida and the adjacent states that had rail service moving into Florida at the turn of the century to tap into the lumber boom. There are some very good photographs of the early railroads and their rolling stock, and some very good, detailed histories of some "forgotten" railroads. The research behind the histories is very complete.

This is a specific website for railroad history in Michigan. If you enjoy historical topics, then you will love this site. The county-by-county maps are very good, and some of the older photos are very interesting. This is also affiliated with MichiganRailroads.com... which is a huge website with lots of more current items and a very active set of discussion forums.
