Art Institute of Chicago
My experience with the Art Institute of Chicago is extensive, as I go to this museum at least three or four times a year. It’s an excellent art collection with something for everybody. It’s best for adults and older children, as in teens, but it’s not ideal for young …

Sagrada Familia basilica
I visited the Sagrada Familia on April, 06, and quite enjoyed the visit.
This is a church, designed by the famous Spanish architect Antoni Gaudi, that is still being built. However, you can already visit it, and even rise by elevator to one of it’s eight towers.
The Sagrada Familia is …
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. …
Jekyll Island GA
I am a person who does not really enjoy the hustle and bustle of the big city. Traveling around Phoenix, while this may be much warmer than it is in the Northwoods, is not my idea of fun. (Just so you know, we live in the country …

The Hundred Islands
The Hundred Islands is definitely one of the major tourist attractions to see in the Philippines. It is found in Alaminos, Pangasinan. That’s about 7 hours away north of Manila when driving. The 7 hours drive was definitely worth it by the time we got there. Amidst the scorching …
Munuch
Munich in my point of view is one of the most beautiful cities in all of Germany, all the homes beautifully decorated, the streets are really clean. Downtown there are hundreds of beautiful shops, especially toystores which really bring out the true ‘Ye old German spirit’. If you wait …
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 …
Warangal
Warangal is a place in Andhra Pradesh, a state of India. Warangal is a city which is famous for its temples, military fortifications etc..
Accomodation is rather difficult in Warangal. This is because of lack of good hotels. Hotel rooms are cheap in Warangal, but it is difficult to get …

Boracay Island

Carlsbad Caverns, New Mexico, is a wonderful destination. I have been several times and have just come back from a weekend spent there with my boyfriend and his son. This is a great family vacation spot if you are in the area. A must-see is the …
The Picos de Europa - Northern Spain (The Western Massif)

Busch Gardens (Williamsburg, VA)

‘Ambrosia’ is a small shop, decorated with taste and it’s located …
Eagle Point Resort
Anilao is the closest thing to heaven for those of us who don’t want to spend too much when diving. I was able to borrow my sister’s gear and wet suit (I know, gross but we used to share toothbrush during trips). Since friends have been nagging me to …
River Pines Campground
We didn’t know how we would feel at first camping at River Pines Campground since it is about 5 miles from our house. It seemed strange to pack up and travel right down the road to go camping. But a couple years ago, some friends of ours …

Jonker Street, Melaka, Malaysia
Jonker Street is purportedly known worldwide by antique collectors and Bargain hunters. Located in Downtown Melaka, Jonker St, is a favorite stop of locals and tourists alike.
I honestly have no idea why. Back in the day, maybe. Today? You’ve got to be kidding.
True, Jonker St has a handful of good …

Sesame Place is a great trip for you and your under-5 children. Some tips and suggestions:

In Singapore, there is also a version of Chinatown just like the one in USA. But this Chinatown is something of a local type of place for people of all races and you can learn a lot about Chinese people over here.

We have done this tour twice. It is a free walking tour of the factory that takes approximately 40 minutes. You get to see the entire process of how a jelly bean is created and packaged. It is very interesting, but I would say it would not be for …
