Travel Reviews
Cyprus Museum,Nicosia
The Cyprus Museum is heralded as holding one of the greatest archaeological collections in the Mediterranean. It hosts a continual stream of tour parties, and there are always coaches parked outside. With this in mind, I had great expectations as to what I would find when I passed through …
Touring the river in Ratanakosin Bangkok
I believe the best way to see Ratanakosin is by river. It is also a good way to get to the Grand Palace. In fact, with streets always backed up with traffic I think the River in Ratanakosin is really the most logical choice. My advice is …
Babyland General Hospital, Cleveland, GA
Last year, when I was still living in Georgia, my daughter moved to Georgia from Alaska where her husband had been stationed in the Air Force. After she got to Georgia, she was exploring to find out what there was for excitement and things to do in the state. …
Maho Bay Beach
I think all of the beaches on St. John are beautiful, so it’s impossible for me to choose only one favorite, but Maho Bay Beach on St. John is certainly among my favorite beaches on the island. It’s actually one of the most beautiful beaches I’ve ever been …
Liberty Belle Riverboat, Liberty Square, Walt Disney World, FL
In Liberty Square in the Magic Kingdom of Walt Disney World, FL is the little talked about Liberty Belle Riverboat that cruises around the Rivers of America. Now I can’t say that every single visit in the last 37 years since the park opened and I’ve been attending …
Floral Clock Niagara Falls
The Floral Clock is not one of the most heralded attractions of Niagara Falls, but it is certainly there. I decided to take the time to drive out to the clock (it is a ways away from the Falls themselves). I sort of wish I hadn’t bothered.
It …
Catalina Island travel
Catalina Island is an Island off of the state and it’s isolate out there in the middle of the ocean. You can get out there by boats or airplanes. I have been out there twice on boats. I used to live next to the Long Beach port in California …
Engen Garage Filling Station and Convenience Store
Taking the off ramp from the uncharacteristically quiet freeway on the way to the casino, for a night out of some light gambling, I had an experience that made me appreciate the mere essence of the courtesy of some people.
No different to any other filling station, this Engen garage …
Beach Pond State Park
Every summer when I was a kid, my Grandparents would come up to my house at least once, and usually twice a week to take my brother and I to Beach Pond State Park to spend the day there. We’d leave at about 9:30 and it took about …
Museum of Bags and Purses Amsterdam
The Museum of Bags and Purses is just two years old but is now recognized as having the largest bag collection in the world. I’ve visited twice - June 2008 and April 2009. A great way to spend time with girlfriends and thousands of bags!
Tickets are EUR 6.50 per …
Botswana Khama Rhino Sanctuary
Botswana is a large country and unless one is very patient with doing long distance driving, this might not be the right place to go. I discovered this already as there were very places where I could go which did not require a lot travelling.
Before leaving this country, I …
Bantayan Island in the Philippines
I bet many of you readers like beaches, white sands, clear crystal water not to mention great foods more specifically seafood. If you want to go on a place like that, cheap and the same time satisfying, I suggest you go to Bantayan Island, it is divided into three …

South Africa Cape of Good Hope
It was normal that before going to Cape Agulhas, we would pass by at the Cape of Good Hope. My husband was also adamant in having his picture taken from this area. Definitely, it was also nearer than going to Cape Agulhas as it was not actually the most …
Montana
I used to have a long-distance penpal in Montana and his name is Mike. In fact, this is a real story, no kidding but I do not have the chance to meet Mike because he has never come to Singapore as promised. We did exchange contacts and …
Fisherman’s State Park and Campground
One of the nicest places that I have ever gone camping was at Fisherman’s State Park and Campground in Narragansett, Rhode Island. I took up Camping a couple years ago rather seriously after having a great time camping with friends. Now I go as often as I …

Jacksonville, North Carolina

Emerald suites Las Vegas (cameron)
The hotel is very far away from the strip. For someone who is visiting Vegas for first time, this might not be an ideal place because a lot of time will be wasted getting to and from the strip, especially if you get stuck in the traffic. You need …
Kennedy Space Center, Cape Canaveral, FL
Although I live here in Central Florida, I still make an effort to visit Kennedy Space Center every few years just to see what’s new and well, just because my husband and I like going there once in awhile.
We used to take our kids when they were little, …
Swan Dolphin Resort
This resort exceeded my expections completely, with it’s ritzy and elegant feel it made you feel like royalty. Its an amazing place but only if your staying for a few days or else it could leave a huge hole in your wallet. All the amenties in the hotel were …
Mount Washngton Cog Railway, Bretton Woods, NH
One of the longest running attractions in the White Mountains is the Mount Washington Cog Railway in Bretton Woods, NH. It’s been there as far back as I can remember and I’ve been going there since I was a kid, some 40 years ago.
In all the times that I …
Dallas, TX Good Fun

Arkansas Travel
Arkansas is a beautiful state with a scenic beauty. There are a lot of outdoor recreations and certainly many sight-seeings to do and things to see and check out. I have been to Arkansas briefly before in 2000, and again in 2006. My personal opinion on …
Southern California Beach Club
The Southern California Beach Club is a timeshare in Oceanside California that is almost literally right on the beach. I have been to this timeshare every summer for the last ten years and have definitely seen the good and bad aspects of this timeshare. First, this timeshare …

Tasmania travel
Tasmania is by far one of the most beautiful states in Australia. The weather is warm in summer and cold in winter. In the mountains and high hills it can snow during winter so remember to pack a good warm rain jacket, a beanie and a pair of gloves. …
JanSport Ashland Series Waistpack
I was in the market to purchase a Waistpack so I decided to go with this one. JanSport is a very well known brand and that’s the reason why I decided to go with this one. I have to say that this thing certainly doesn’t disappoint and …
Bonanza Golf and Gifts
While miniature golf might not be everyone’s activity of choice, I highly recommend it if you find yourself in the company of kids of all ages and have nothing else to do. I recently found myself with several children ranging in age from 7 to 12, and they were …
Journey Behind Niagara Falls
The majority of people in experiencing Niagara Falls do so from above, watching out over the railing beside the Falls, watching it fall majestically in all of its incredible glory.

Visiting Vienna
Visiting Vienna
Vienna is one of my favorite European cities. It’s the capital of Austria, has a population of about 2 millions and is located more or less in the middle of Europe. You can fly there from most main hubs in Europe, and there are also quite a few …
Cove Lake State Park
It was a Sunday afternoon and the kids were all complaining about being bored as usual. That is when I decided to pack a picnic lunch and head out in search of a place to spend the day. We grabbed our road atlas and picked a general direction in …
Museum of Sex NY
When I first read a museum about sex was opening in Manhattan, I laughed. To me, museums were for art and history and culture, not turn of the century sex toys and porn. And after reading a number of scathing reviews about the Museum of Sex, I completely wrote …

Jalan Jalan Guesthouse Malacca, Malaysia
I just had to write this review in the hopes that it may be of use to someone else. If you go on travel websites, alot of people like to state things like
” Best guesthouse in ‘whatever location’”. Fact is, most people don’t actually stay in more than one place …
Saba Island
Are you looking for paradise on earth? Are you looking to get away from the hustle & bustle of the daily grind? Do you want to visit a place where there’s nothing but peace and tranquility or maybe some world class scuba diving sites & hiking trails? …
Fisherman’s Wharf San Francisco
I do not ever want to go bakc to Fisherman’s Wharf.
I had heard from several people that it was a fun little touristy area, full of Ripley’s Believe It Or Nots, Wax Museums, terrible gift stores, bad greasy food and other coastal attractions.
I went there, only to discover that …
Floating Village of Chong Khneans Cambodia
I previously went to the Floating Village of Chong Khneans in Cambodia and I really enjoyed it, I was expecting just another boat cruise but this one impressed me, because in all of the tour and of all the time I was in Cambodia this part expressed alot of …
Museo Hemingway / Finca Vigio
I had visited Havana, Cuba three times before I finally went to Finca Vigia, now Museo Hemingway, where Ernest Hemingway lived for twenty years and wrote many of his most famous stories here. The Cuban government has now turned it into a Museum, and I am glad I finally …
Buffalo City in New York State, United States
I loved going to this city when my family and I used to live in Toronto in the province of Ontario in Canada. This was because not only is Buffalo such a scenic city, it is also close to Niagara Falls, another popular weekend destination for both Canadians …
Whaleshark Adventure in Donsol
People have always told me to go to Donsol to see the whalesharks (butanding) as it is an out-of-this-world to actually swim beside the gentle giants. As my friend who lives in Bicol invited us to go there last month, I gladly accepted the invitation.
It turns out that …
Burton’s Century Village
The Geauga County Historical Society maintains a Century Village for us all to see how our forefathers lived in the 1800’s. I love going here! There’s 60 acres of history, and it’s just like stepping backwards in time!
Among the many buildings and artifacts you will find there, …
Taronga Zoo Sydney
The Taronga Zoo in Sydney, Australia is a wonderful place to visit, I really enjoyed my time there seeing a lot of native Australian wildlife. It could possibly be Australia’s best zoo though I hear Melbourne Zoo is great and of course I don’t need to mention the credentials …
Beijing Metro
An advocate of public transportation, I happened to be in Beijing and decided to stray away from the common medium of taxi riding and try the metro.
Everytime you’re in a new city, you should definitely try the metro system out, if it’s available. The metro in Beijing was …
Duck Tour, Singapore
Last time I visited Singapore, I was curios when I saw an advertisement about Duck Tour. So then I tried it.
Don’t be wrong, Duck Tour isn’t a tour with ducks, or a duck riding tour. The tour even had no connection with ducks at all, except its icon. Duck …
Berlin
Berlin is a really hip city. There is so much history, art, culture in this city. The relatively recent reunification of East and West Berlin has made for a fascinating incite into a former communist bloc state. The city is full of museums and sights relating to the Stasi …
