In a visit to Spain people should have a valid passport to enjoy the real culture of Spanish people. Americans can require a huge paperwork to travel in various other countries but traveling to Spain has some benefits to the American people. For example, Americans only need a valid passport and a return ticket. They don’t need any visa. They will only need a proper visa stamp if their stay in Spain exceeds 90 days.
Crossing Borders
If an American has a valid passport and is visiting Spain, he/she can also visit various cross border European countries like Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Norway, Portugal and Sweden. For this purpose, they would need a visa if their stay in these countries exceeds three months from the date of entry.
Cost and Communication Factors
When anyone is on a trip to any foreign country, he/she should be conscious of certain factors like currency, language and weather reports. For instance local currency in Spain is Euro and it would be expensive for an American because Euro is a stronger currency than American Dollar. So Americans should bear this in their minds while traveling to Spain. Also Spanish is spoken and understood throughout the country. Although English is spoken in tourist areas yet one should arrange a guide for proper communication during the trip. Travelers should know the weather reports and plan their journey accordingly.

One of the most breathtaking and jaw dropping experiences on can have among things to do before you die list. Seeing Aurora in action with one’s own eyes. Auroras, are also called the northern and southern (polar) lights or aurorae. These are are phenomena of nature and they are strange lights that dance in the sky. They are normally seen at night at magnetic north and south poles.
These strange, dancing light when seen in northern hemisphere are called aurora borealis, named after the Roman goddess of dawn, Aurora, and the Greek name for north wind, Boreas. The aurora borealis is also called the northern polar lights, as it is only visible in the sky from the Northern Hemisphere. The more you are near the magnetic north pole, the more chance you have to see Aurora Borealis. That means you have to travel to the arctic islands of northern Canada or Norway to experience them.
Being at exact magnetic pole does not help much as they are exactly over your head. The real fun of seeing Aurora is from a little distance. As in Berlevag, Norway they illuminate the horizon with a greenish glow that changes colors quickly and sometimes turn into a faint red, as if the sun was rising from an unusual direction.
The best time to see the Northern Lights is September to October and from March to April. The Southern lights are same but to view them you have to be in Antarctica, South America, or Australia. but they are not as much fun to watch as the northern ones.
According to Wikipedia
Aurorae are produced by the collision of charged particles from Earth’s magnetosphere, mostly electrons but also protons and heavier particles, with atoms and molecules of Earth’s upper atmosphere (at altitudes above 80 km (50 miles)). The particles have energies of 1 to 100 keV. They originate from the Sun and arrive at the vicinity of Earth in the relatively low-energy solar wind. When the trapped magnetic field of the solar wind is favourably oriented (principally southwards) it connects with Earth’s magnetic field, and solar particles enter the magnetosphere and are swept to the magnetotail. Further magnetic reconnection accelerates the particles towards Earth.
The collisions in the atmosphere electronically excite atoms and molecules in the upper atmosphere. The excitation energy can be lost by light emission or collisions. Most aurorae are green and red emissions from atomic oxygen. Molecular nitrogen and nitrogen ions produce some low level red and very high blue/violet aurorae. The light blue and green colors are produced by ionic nitrogen and the neutral nitrogen gives off the red and purple color with the rippled edges. Different gases interacting with the upper atmosphere will produce different colors, caused by the different compounds of oxygen and nitrogen. The level of solar wind activity from the Sun can also influence the color of the aurorae
