Finding the right combination

Greetings from the beautiful town of Lewes, Delaware. This seaside town on the east coast is the first town in the first state. When the Dutch touched down in Lewes in 1631, it solidifed the role of Delaware in the future role of first....And who doesn't want to be first? The best part of this town is it is Delmarvelous. Delmarvelous you ask?

The Delmarva peninsula is the land shared by Delaware, Maryland and Virginia. And in all honesty, Delaware is the only state that has all of its land on the peninsula - therefore really validating the need to be first in name. And who wants to say the Virglandaware peninsula? That isn't fun at all!

Here are some other notable combination places in the world:

• Texarkana, Arkansas - This town is located where Texas, Arkansas and Louisiana come together. This region is also known as the Ark-La-Tex region.
  


• Benelux - Referred to as a group of countries, this region in Europe refers to Belgium, Netherlands and Luxembourg. Side note - the Benelux countries are trying to cash in with their brand to host the World Cup in 2018.
  


• Calexico, Mexico and Mexicali, California - These two cities are right across from each other on the California-Mexico border.
  


• Budapest - Did you think that this was one city name? Not so! This is the combination of two cities (Buda and Pest) across from each other on the Danube River.
  


• Tribeca - This is one that I didn't know. Tribeca refers to the Triangle Below Canal Street.
  


• Kanorado, Kansas - This one is a given - on the border of Kansas and Colorado but it probably stinks to high heaven of cattle farms with flat lands. But only 248 people live here so hopefully the amount of Jayhawks and Buffalo fans are split down the middle with 124 each.
  

Now it's time to get back to my Delmarvelous Vacation. Until next time.
