Walt Disney World Magic Music Days program
A couple years ago I went with my dance company down to Disney World to participate in their Magic Music Days program. It was a great experience, with a few not-so-great things.
On the first night, as part of our “VIP treatment” we had a barbecue followed by “special” seats …

I have been to Nassau for around 2-3 times and have been staying in some nice resorts there before. It might sound to you, but I really love going to remote islands and places and just checking things out.
Nassau is in Bahamas and is a very …
Key Largo, FL
The first time I ever visited Key Largo for a weekend, we stayed at a place called “Island Bay Resort”. It sounds large, but in fact, it is only 10 rooms and very private and quiet. The cottage we picked was a one bedroom cottage with an efficiency …

Anna Maria Island Florida
Ever since I was a little kid I’ve been going to Anna Maria Island on the West Coast of Florida. It’s a small tropical-like island located just South of Tampa.

The Picos de Europa - Northern Spain (The Western Massif)

Old Port in Montreal, Canada
Montreal is one of my favorite cities in Canada. When I used to live in Toronto, I used to fly to Montreal on weekends. It’s just as cold in winter as Toronto, or perhaps even colder.
But the difference is, Montreal has an underground city which you will …

Castillo de San Marcos
By far, the most historical attraction in St. Augustine, Florida, is the 17th century Spanish fort, Castillo de San Marcos (Castle of St. Mark to those unfamiliar with Spanish terminology). There is so much to see and do that you could visit the Castillo various times and never see …

Talinn is divided into two distinct parts, the old town, situated within …
St. Simon’s Island GA
We lived in Southeast Georgia for 2 years due to a job relocation. Now, while I didn’t like living in Brunswick, GA, there was one thing I did enjoy and would highly recommend. Just over the causeway from Brunswick is St. Simon’s Island, a popular tourist destination, …
Lake Lurleen State Park
One of the only state parks I have visited in Alabama is Lake Lurleen State Park. We picked it because it was the closest park to Vision Land at that time that had openings on Labor Day Weekend. You see my husband got this hair brain idea to go …

Goddard Memorial State Park, Warwick,RI
Having grown up in East Greenwich, RI, one of my local stomping grounds was Goddard Memorial State Park, which is also in East Greenwich. Well, it all depends on who you talk to. Some say East Greenwich and some say Warwick. Personally, I think it’s probably in both towns, …

The Land of Lost Content (museum), Craven Arms, UK

Deoksugung Palace, Seoul, South Korea
I think this is a good place if you love to see a Korean palace but have no much time to spend for most you want to see in other Korean palaces you can see them here. The size is also small so you can explore it in less than …
Lub-d Hostel, Bangkok
I would have to say that Lub-d Hostel is one that lives up to its tag lines. They used to have “Sweet Dreams” as their tag line but I guess they’ve changed it to “Everyone Leaves as a Friend.” Perhaps, one of my best experiences in terms of the …
Albert Dock, Liverpool
The city of Liverpool in the early 1980s could be a somewhat depressing place. It was only a little after the devastating Toxteth riots, and there was still a sense of decay that lingered from the end of Liverpool’s days as a major seaport fifteen years earlier. The population …
Motoring in Northern France
As someone who has driven around England quite a bit I feel well qualified to comment that driving around France is so much more appealing. Of course France has it made with the advantages of size and population but this is not all that makes driving there more preferable.
We bought …
Glacier National Park
With all the talk about global warming, maybe now would be a good time to visit the park before they disappear. We went in late August which was a really nice time to go. The trails which Glacier Park is known for are wonderful. According to …

One of the things that make China famous is of course the Great Wall of China. It is one of the most famous man made achievements in the world, it holds the record of being the only man made structure which can be seen from space.
When I went to …
Gastown in Vancouver, Canada
The first time I got to visit Gastown in the city of Vancouver, I thought it was some quaint town, indeed. It still sports a cobblestone and brick laid ground to this day. It was rather like being lost in a small town in Europe, and not …
It’s a Small World Ride, FantasyLand, Walt Disney World, FL
When you visit the Magic Kingdom in Walt Disney World, FL, you must make a point of checking out the classic ride “It’s a Small World”. As much as the song plays in your head for the next week and a half, you can’t hardly help yourself. Just …
