Fall colors, summer-worthy temperatures, and a canoe built for two floating down a lazy river with crystalline waters as blue as Matthew McConaughey's sparkling eyes?

The western shore of Ireland's County Clare ends in a ragged, 8-mile stretch of coastline that looks as if some giant sea monster has taken a bite out of it. An expanse of pool-table-felt green ends in a scalloped wall of golden limestone cliffs that, from an aerial view, look a lot like tooth marks. These are the Cliffs of Moher, which fall 700 feet straight down into the roiling Atlantic Ocean.

Are people getting more high maintenance or is it just me? One thing that you can't deny is that CERTAIN people require a lot more TLC and attention, on the daily and especially during trying times. This applies to both platonic relationships and romantic.

These characteristics are closely linked to their zodiac sign temperament, so read on to see who is on the list!

While relaxing and unwinding on the Florida seaside might be high on many travelers' lists, the underrated town of Rosemary Beach is usually not — and it's a hidden gem that won't stay undiscovered forever.

Cookin' from Scratch used to sit at 90 Truman Street in Doolittle, Missouri off of I-44. This restaurant had also been listed as being in Newburg, but it was actually in Doolittle which sits on old Route 66. Doolittle is located in Phelps County by the intersection of Missouri Route T and I-44 between Rolla and Jerome, and it's 2.5 miles south of Newburg.
