Fox Hill Campground
There are several campgrounds in this area and this is one of our favorites. The campground is a bit busy during mid season, but I could not disagree more. The quiet atmosphere they write about must be when everyone is sleeping. If you want lots of …

Boracay
I have been to Boracay only once, and unlike most people who are excited about going there, I loath the place. The only reason I am writing this review is to make other people aware of what happens in Boracay. This place reminds me only of violence, and …

Colt State Park, Bristol, RI

Mangalore India

There is a beautiful park with a lake. It is 10 kilometres far from the main city. There are many plants and trees in the park. A little farther from the park is an amusement and …

Boyce Thompson Arboretum in Superior Arizona Feeds the Soul
At the edge of old Superior Arizona is one of the most fantastic places on the planet, as far as I am concerned. I could spend hours there lost in exotic desert beauty, and have. I also bring people there from other parts of the world and no one has …
Eldora Ski Resort
I ski a lot and have been skiing all over Colorado for the past year. People spoke of Eldora Ski Resort as being small and nothing special. I honestly wasn’t all that excited to go, but I got a great deal on a lift ticket and some …

Paris, the capital of France, is a beautiful, romantic city with so much to see and do. Take along comfortable, strong shoes as you will do a lot of walking as you explore this city. The city’s metro system is convenient to use but it can be quite dirty …
Rosetta Mclain Garden in Scarborough, Canada

Niagara Falls will be my second choice, but I can tell you my number one and …
Winterplace Ski Resort Ghent
Winterplace is a ski resort located in Ghent, West Virgina. I had never skied before when I went with my son and his boyscout troop three years ago. In retrospect I wish I had went at least once before going with my son. We got discounted tickets through the …

The Field Museum Chicago Illinois
I love The Field Museum and as you will see, I just can’t say enough about it. The only museum better then The Field Museum is The Smithsonian Museum in Washington D.C. It is definately worth it to go to Chicago to see only this museum-it will take you …
Canada in Winter
It is cold. Very very cold. If you don’t like cold, don’t come to Canada in the winter. It is a very, very cold place.
On the other hand, it is very pretty. With the snow and the trees and the skies can be just gorgeous. …

The Laidhay Croft Museum, Caithness, Scotland
I came upon the Laidhay Croft Museum by chance whilst driving to John O’Groats in Scotland, which is the most north westerly point of the British mainland. It is an example of a typical 18th century farmer’s croft house known as a Longhouse, which were once common throughout this part …

Bangkok Palace
I definitely love visiting The Grand Palace when I was in Bangkok before. This building simply amazes me with how the architectural structure was being built somewhere between 1782 to the late 19th century.

The fall season is one of my favorite times to drive over to Lancaster, Pennsylvania. Here, I have spent many fantastic days getting great bargains at the infamous Lancaster Outlets, and finding products that I would perhaps never find when shopping locally. If you think that shopping …
Clifton Suspension Bridge, England
The Clifton Suspension Bridge in (unsurprisingly) the Clifton region of Bristol is an enormous tourist attraction, and although it remains an important road link to the communities and countryside to the west of the city, it is perhaps now visited by more tourists than locals every year. As such, …
