Activities for your holiday could include anything from exploring the `Dark Ages', a visit to the Cosmic Renaissance, and a rare opportunity to explore the higher dimensions in the Planck Era. Also included are special features such as lists of `What Not To Miss At The Big Bang, `What to Do in a 2 Picosecond Visit, and `Echoes of the Big Bang in the Universe Today.'
