Newmans South Pacific Vacations, Inc

Sea To Sky Highway to Whistler/Blackcomb Ski Resort
A few times a year, my partner and I travel along Highway 99, also known as the Sea to Sky highway, to Whistler/Blackcomb ski resort. The Sea to Sky highway is arguably one of the most beautiful stretches of coastline in BC. Huge towering mountains rise high …
Zoo Miami, Miami Florida
I have always loved to visit zoos. More so now, that I can show the animals to my son. He gets to learn about them and see them in person. He wasn’t really interested in touching them, thou. Zoo Miami, or MetroZoo, Miami Zoo, whatever they’re calling it now …
St. Augustine, Florida
I thought it was strange that I had been born and raised in Florida, but I had never visited the Nation’s oldest city. St Augustine is the nation’s oldest city and it’s only a few hours from where I live. So, I asked my husband if we could spend …
Berrington Hall, England
Berrington Hall is a stately home and extensive surrounding grounds in Herefordshire, in western England not too far from the Welsh border. It is run by the National Trust, which ensures its preservation but which - as I shall mention - does give rise to one or two small …

Caramoan, Camarines Sur
Went to Caramoan for summer.It was a very tiresome experience. From an almost 10 hour bus ride from Manila to Daraga to the 3 hour drive from Daraga to Sabang port and another 2 hour boat ride to the final stop. A friend who also went said that …
Scioto Trail
When I was just a small lad of four or five we went to the Scioto Trail. It is the first park I can really recall. It was so named from being part of an old Indian trail. I think my mom said they used it as a means …
Tony’s Guesthouse, Melaka, Malaysia
If you’re a budget traveler, and you’ve been to Malacca more than once, you have likely heard of Tony’s guesthouse. Like most hostels in Malacca, Tony’s guesthouse is situation within walking distance of most of Malacca’s historic tourist attractions. It is located closer to the historic ‘Bukit Cina’, or Chinese …

Grouse Mountain in North Vancouver, Canada
I enjoy going to Grouse Mountain in whatever season of the year. In summer, when days are longer, it’s time to watch wildlife in its natural habitat. No kidding, you can watch grizzly bears and grey wolves here. The timber wolves are particularly interesting for me. They …
Voyager Stroller Luggage Bag
I studied away from home for 9 years. I would only go home during Christmas and summer breaks. I travel alone and my constant companion as I fly or cruise was my ever sturdy and reliable Voyager stroller luggage bag.
I’ve been using it for years and until now …

Morganton NC
Morganton, North Carolina is a middle sized town in my opinion. It is probably best known for its mental health hospital Broughton. I knew a couple of people who were committed to the Broughton mental hospital once. We took my husband’s friend cigarettes and snacks a couple of …
Monaco
Monaco is in Europe and I certainly feel that it is a land of luxury. Last time when I was small, I was quite surprised to know that Monaco is actually the richest country in the world. But then again, everything there is pretty expensive and I …

Cebu
Of all the places in the Philippines, Cebu is probably my least favorite place to visit. And I dread going there every month for work. You would never catch me going there for a vacation either. I don’t exactly know when I started hating this place, because it didn’t …
Samsonite Double Comfort Travel Pillow
The Samsonite Double Comfort pillow is one which I found while I was in California at the LAX airport. I was told that this was the most comfortable pillow that is currently made, the women told me that I could adjust the pillow to my comfort and so I …
Munich
I’ve just come back from Munich and all I can say is Wow! This is a wonderful city. The atmosphere is unique. The beer is like no other beer I have tasted. It is really difficult to describe just how special Munich is but I’m going to try.
Munich manages …

It’s very easy to get to the Vancouver Aquarium. It is at 845 Avison Way, in the city of Vancouver, province of British Columbia in Canada. You’ll be glad you visited this aquarium, because it’s one of the biggest aquariums in North America.
The Vancouver Aquarium is just …
Rama Beach Resort in Botolan Zambales
Last summer, my whole family planned to visit Rama Beach Resort in Botolan Zambales. Since our house is not that far from the place and that is the first beach resort that has a free WiFi access. It will cost you 150 per head plus you need to rent …
Night Safari Singapore
We had our 7-day visit to Singapore and a close family friend of ours who happened to be our host suggested that we should see Night Safari. We arrived there early around 5:00 pm and to our dismay the show will not start until 6:00. Gosh we were not …
Windmill Island Gardens
My Dutch relatives still live near Holland, Michigan, and on my last trip there, I spent some time visiting some of the cultural and historical sites. One thing I came to appreciate was just how much of the Dutch culture and customers the immigrants brought to this area when …
Rothenburg
Filled with excitement I could not wait to go to the scenic town of Rothenberg. I don’t think I slept three winks the night before the trip. Rothenberg is a small city in Germany that is still surrounded by walls like a fortress of some sort. You can walk …
Deadwood
I am a person who loves history and also modern fun, as in a little flutter. Now to find both of these I take a trip to the Black Hills of South Dakota where I stop off for a day or two (or three..) at Deadwood. A town where …
Polar Caves, Plymouth, NH
One attraction in New Hampshire that is worth a visit is the Polar Caves in Plymouth. Now, not unlike Lost River, Polar Caves is basically nature trails, boardwalks and stairs that take you along a path into, over, under around and through giant granite boulders that formed caves …
Niagara Falls
My friend’s whole family (her husband, daughter and mother-in-law included) invited me and my husband to join their trip to Niagara Falls. We were not able to apply for a Canadian Visitors Visa so we all decided to stay on the American side of the falls. We all live in …
Thomson Travel Agent
One of the most popular Travel Agents in the tourism and travel industry is “Thomson”. Experiencing some financial difficulties a few years ago it became part of the “Tui” family, rather recently. Since then the quality in the customer service has improved a great deal.
A few weeks ago I …
Laguna Beach, CA
Laguna Beach, CA is my most favorite place to go to on vacation. I would recommend this city to anyone because it is an all around great place. Laguna Beach is a very expensive place but I believe that it’s well worth the money. The weather …
Fiesta Resort
Darasa Fiesta Resort is one of the many semi-private swimming pools I’ve been to. If you are looking for a secluded and quiet vacation at the lowest price, then Darasa Fiesta Resort is where you want to be. It is located in Darasa, Tanauan City, Batangas that is almost …
The Maine Lobster Festival, Rockland, ME
Every year in August, the town of Rockland, Maine holds it’s annual Lobster Festival. I try to be in attendance just as often as I can be. Never mind the scrumptious lobster, there is so much going on here and so much good seafood, I wouldn’t want …
Morro Bay CA
Morrow Bay is one of those beautiful coastal towns in central California many people pass without notice. It is off the main highway 101, but if you take the exit leading to town and the beach you’ll find one of the most beautiful spots on the coast.
Morrow Bay is …
Washington Monument
The Washington Monument is a great part of our countries history that I feel every school aged child should learn about, and hopefully experience for themselves. It is located down the street from the capital building it is part of the National Mall which encompasses a large group of …
Gaborone Game Reserve
Gaborone or the whole country itself does not have any zoos. They have lots of game reserves and national parks. One of them is the Gaborone Game Reserve. This place is quite near my house, about 5 minutes drive. I suppose to me this is one of the attractions …
Black Creek Pioneer Village Toronto
Black Creek Pioneer Village is one of those ‘theme’ villages that have been preserved ever since the early 1800s and on. The pioneers lived here in Ontario during that time and this village preserved all their homes - well a couple of them, as well as things like stores/shops, …
Puerto Galera, Oriental Mindoro, Philippines
I’ve been to almost all of Puerto Galera’s beaches (only the tourist spots) because we conducted a survey around the place. These are Sabang, Small La Laguna, Big La Laguna, White Beach, Talipanan Point and Coco Beach. The best I’ve seen and the most expensive is the Coco Beach. …
Oklahoma City National Memorial & Museum
I had no idea what to expect from the Oklahoma City national Memorial & Museum. I remember when the bombing happened like it was yesterday and thought we should stop and take the tour and show our respect to those that had died, as well as the survivors. I …
Hawaiian Heritage Souvenirs Oahu
These frames are really cute at first. It is tempting to display your island vacation pictures in these Hawaiian Heritage Company frames, but I would suggest that you find a better way to prolong and enjoy your precious pictures. I first discovered these frames while shopping at …
Jeju Island, South Korea
The Koreans claim it as Korean Hawaii or Korean Bali, but I personally think it is a bit far stretched to compare Jeju island with Hawaii or Bali. I went there last year with my boyfriend, on a 4 day backpacking trip, and we thought it was not a …
Yonge Street in Toronto, Canada
Yonge Street, pronounced like the word young, is the longest street in the world according to the Guinness World Book of Records. I can easily tell you the history of the city of Toronto by going through the length of this legendary street.
We begin with 1 Yonge Street …

Front Royal, Virginia, where I was born and raised. We don’t have a lot of great attractions, but we have one of the most beautiful places to visit on earth. The Skyline Drive.

Fred Dale nature reserve, Worcestershire
The Fred Dale nature reserve, which lies on the edge of the Wyre Forest close to the River Severn west of Bewdley, is by no means well known, and even in the local area some people may not recognise the name - which, incidentally, honours a member of Wyre …
Tokyo Imperial Palace East Garden
If you are traveling to Tokyo, I think the Imperial Palace East Garden is a place worth visiting. This place is not only easily reached but also quite beautiful to enjoy. It is said that the best time to visit is March or April (spring season in Japan), but …

Clarkrange is a small town in the middle of Tennessee up close to the Kentucky state line. One of the places we like to go there is to the Clarkrange Park. They have swings, rocking horses and slides for small children and a basket ball court for teenagers to …
