"She's back! The lovable, witty, and energetic Samantha Brown returns in a fun, adventurous trek around the world in "Season one: Passport to Great Weekends."
Brown's personality is nothing if not lovely and zany and out of control. Her zest for life and that smile! are what drive this collection of trips around the globe to the tip of the peak. In season one, the world's most favorite travel guide host invites us to beautiful locales that one cannot pass up--and you do not even have to leave your sofa. But these videos would not be as fun as they are without experiencing at least one of the cities recommended here.
Brown takes us to such places like Orlando, Florida, where the heat is not the only thing that sizzles in the air. Did you see that wine taster?
In San Francisco, Brown helps the viewer find inexpensive ways to enjoy the City by the Bay, and one of the most beautiful cities in the country.
In New Hampshire, Samantha returns home to dine, laugh, and have fun with family. She even goes to Maine! All in one trip!
Las Vegas, watch out! We see a different side of Ms. Brown here than we have in the past. Let's just say she will have you regaling with laughter when she serves drinks to the locals--the Samantha Brown way!
Whatever your penchant for travel, even in today's economic upheaval, Samantha Brown shows us ways in which we can get away, if only for the weekend, inexpensively, and live on the edge with a big, open smile.
Now let's hope season two of this fantastic series finds its way to DVD soon. And where in the world are the "Passport to Latin America" and "Great Hotels" DVD series? More adventures are on the way!

This DVD is very good as most all of Sam's from
her various jaunts around the globe in shows like:
Great Hotels, Great Vacations, Europe, Latin America,
Girl Meets Hawai'i, et, al. Highly recommended. From

Samantha Brown's Great Weekends

"I love ALL of the Samantha Brown shows, with my most-recent acquisition having been the "Great Weekends." I also have all of the Passport to Europe DVDs, and wish the shows she did on cruise ships, at Disney World, at Great Hotels and Passport to Latin America would also be made available. I give "Great Weekends" my highest recommendation."
