But just beyond the crowds of Waikiki, on the other side of Diamond Head, is a quieter, more secluded part of Honolulu that many visitors don't see - but it's just what Samantha Brown is looking for in her Hawaiian island escape. Samantha packs her bags and checks into the Kahala Mandarin Oriental.

Samantha Brown takes off to this capital city and is totally charmed by it. The country of Belgium is roughly the size of Maryland - and with nearly a million people its capital city, Brussels, is compact as well. But its size in no way means it's inferior. Brussels is a powerful city. The headquarters of NATO is here, as well as the headquarters of the European Union. The political, social, and economic future of all of Europe is decided within these city limits. But unlike Paris, which has the Eiffel Tower, London which has Big Ben, and Rome which has the Coliseum, Brussels has as its symbol a bronze statue of a little boy taking a pee. It's called Manneken Pis, and it's the talk of the town. This product is manufactured on demand using DVD-R recordable media. Amazon.com's standard return policy will apply.

Join Samantha Brown as she books a room at the Mandalay Bay Resort in Nevada's city of neon. Hotels in Las Vegas are anything but typical and the Mandalay Bay certainly carves its own unique style out of its desert surroundings. Samantha descends into the depths to come face-to-face with sharks, manta rays, and other tropical fish that lurk in the Mandalay Bay's underwater world, Shark Reef. Then, without leaving the hotel's property, Samantha shows viewers how an afternoon at the beach takes on a whole new meaning in the Nevada desert. And Samantha joins 300 guests for a very unusual Las Vegas style buffet - the "House of Blues" Southern-style Sunday Gospel Brunch, where everyone gets a little "alleluia" with their bacon and eggs! The odds are you'll find the Mandalay Bay Resort one of Las Vegas's Great Hotels. This product is manufactured on demand using DVD-R recordable media. Amazon.com's standard return policy will apply.
