World Trade Center Complex, New York City

Wellington Zoo
As an Aucklander when I went to Wellington Zoo I kept comparing it with Auckland Zoo. This may have skewered my opinion slightly as Wellington Zoo appeared to be so much smaller.
In terms of the entry fee it was about twenty dollars for an adult which is reasonable …

Lovina
Lovina is located in Bali and I would say that this place has an amazing mountain lush setting with lots of nice forests, spectaculr views and terraced rice fields. The cons would be that there is this particular active volcano that sort of scare the toot out of …
Old Town in Kissimmee

Vancouver International Airport (YVR) in Vancouver, Canada
I went to this airport on Saturday, December 26, 2009. I was supposed to pick up a friend who was coming from Varadero, Cuba. His flight was delayed, and it certainly wasn’t this airport’s fault, so I had a few hours to kill.
I arrived here at about …

Costa Rica’s Caribbean Coast
When you visit Costa Rica’s Caribbean Coast: it is not the same as the Pacific Side. It is very different from a cultural perspective; in the
way of its history; from the stand-point of climate as well as level of activity. What do I mean by all …
Rent a Canoe
I might as well be known as the anti-exercise woman. I literally can not stand doing any kind of intense workout program if I am not having fun while doing it, and not consciously thinking about the fact that I am acutally exercising. As a result, I …

Amish Acres Historic Farm and Heritage Resort
When my elderly grandparents suggested a trip to Indiana to see a play and have dinner at Amish Acres, I was less than thrilled; I guess I was expecting a lame play, much like a church play, and less than appealing food. I wasn’t expecting to enjoy my day …
