On a recent trip to the state of Georgia, I tried to take in as many of the tourist attractions that were open in the winter as I could. One of the interesting places that I visited was the Oatland Island Wildlife Center, which I saw an information brochure …

On my last trip to the state of Georgia, I was worried that I wouldn’t be able to see a lot of the tourist attractions and historical and cultural sites that are plentiful in the state because it was winter time. However, we managed to see some of the …

Bali was once considered “the hidden paradise“, by the Dutch settlers that first landed there in 1500s. So beautiful, the Dutch would not give up it’s Indonesian colonies until the Japanese invaded during WW11. Bali is a world class tourist destination that has topped the “Places …

Blue Spring State park. What can I say about this place? I quite loved it there and I would go back again for sure to see what things I missed the first time around. However one thing that I didn’t like that much about this place was that …

If you ever plan to visit to Thailand, the second largest city of Thailand, Chiang Mai is one of those recommended cities to visit while staying in Thailand. It is well-known for its nice chilled unpolluted weather, beautiful landscape, handy crafts, silver jewellery, Thai silk, and its southern …

I want to share my experience with Globalfantasies.com. In the summer of 2008 I made a deposit with Globalfantasies for a future all inclusive erotic vacation. Between now and then I logged many phone hours with Mike Smith who is the president of the site. He …

Byron Bay still has a reputation as being a haven of alternative lifestyles despite the fact that it has become shamelessly commercial and incredibly expensive tourist trap. I could almost see the seventies hippie era standing in the main street, but a certain fast food restaurant chain was blocking …

Taman Ayun which is located at Bali, Indonesia, was a royal family temple. Meaning, on its very time, all of the royal family members held their ceremonies here.
Personally, I don’t think that this temple is worth to be visited, not even once since we all the gates to …

Cumberland Island National Seashore off the coast of Georgia is one of the most spectacular places to camp in America. My son and I camped there last February when the weather was perfect for outdoor fun. During the day the temperature was in the 60’s and at night it …

A while back, my husband earned a free trip to Maui through his job, so we decided to go. At the time neither of us had been there before, but we had seen some beautiful pictures. Since it was November and we live in Michigan, we were more …

Our family has enjoyed camping for many years. We live in Michigan, and we have cold snowy winters where we find ourselves cooped up inside a lot. By the time spring rolls around, we are ready to get out and enjoy the great outdoors. Camping is …

We live in Michigan where camping is a very popular activity during the summertime. Our family has been to numerous campgrounds over the years. We have those that are our favorites, and those that we will probably not visit again. We usually like to stay fairly …

Living in Michigan, camping is one of our family’s favorite things to do in the summertime. We have stayed at several campgrounds over the years. We have our favorites, one we go to every year, and then we have those that we have visited just once and …

Our family has been camping for years, and we have been to hundreds of different campgrounds. Living in Michigan, there is a wide variety to choose from, ranging from very rustic, to very modern. Most of the time, we opt for campgrounds with nice ammenities and kids …

When I went to Te Papa in Wellington I wasn’t sure what to expect. There was a lot of hype about the museum but not a lot about what it actually offered.
When I arrived I was taken aback by the sheer size of the place. It has …

The Auckland Zoo is a little out of the city and easy to get to. I caught a bus there and it only took me fifteen minutes from the city.
The first thing about the zoo is it is a bit pricey for what you are paying for. …

To be honest if I had known what Spookers was about when I went I probably wouldn’t have gone.
Spookers is a haunted house. Well that is one of the many attractions they have there. It is built in an old mental asylum and decorates the house, …

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 …

The First 10 Journey bus pass seems to be one of the United Kingdom’s best kept secrets, in that I’ve only ever come across two or three other people who have used it, and not that many more than that who have even heard of the things! I find …

I really love to travel around the United Kingdom, but I do not often have access to a car and really do not enjoy flying, so this means that most of my travel is done by means of public transport of one sort or another. Most of the time …

London Gatwick Airport is located about 45 km south of London. It is bigger than Stansted and Luton, making it London’s second busiest airport and also the second largest international airport. Only Heathrow is bigger. Quite a few cheap airlines operate from Gatwick, and also many flight to the …

Take a step back in time to the early 1900’s at Heritage Park. I recently visited this park and hadn’t been there previously since the 80’s. Not much has changed, but then it is supposed to show life in the early days in Alberta. There is …

I’ve been to this spa twice and both times have been exceptional. The first time, I had a pedicure and manicure before my wedding. When you first enter the spa somebody greets you and lets you know where to change and how to use the free lockers …

During a short visit to San Francisco for a conference, my wife and I decided to make the best of our stay by visiting local attractions. The best-known of them is Alcatraz Island, made famous by the movie ‘Escape from Alcatraz’, with Clint Eastwood starring. And not to forget …

We got tickets to the San Francisco Bay Cruise Adventure Cruise by Blue & Gold Fleet as part of a package bought from Super Sightseeing Tours. In the morning, we checked out the city attractions on a motor-coach from Super Sightseeing. The tour guide dropped us off at Pier …

The Wyre Forest is one of my very favourite places to visit in England, and I think it is rather a shame that it is not better known. It is made up of six thousand acres of woodland straddling the border between Worcestershire and Shropshire, about 20 miles west …

When I visited Sydney I like many other tourists wanted to see a real live Koala. Unfortunately due to the rain I wasn’t able to go to the zoo so instead I went to the Wildlife Centre.
Which brings me to my first positive point about the Wildlife Centre. …

When I was traveling through Sydney I decided to pop into the aquarium in darling harbor. I wasn’t sure what to expect but the place really impressed me.
We were having breakfast on the harbor when a little train passed us by. By little I mean a cute …

When I visited Fiji I started at the Hideaway resort in Sigatoka.
My stay at Hideaway was fantastic from beginning to end.
We arrived in the evening and was checked in fairly quickly, we went off to the resort’s restaurant and the food was affordable and delicious.
A great thing about …

When I visited Fiji I decided to go on a day trip to Beachcomber Island. I was in Lautoka at the time and the ride to Beachcomber in a ferryw as fairly quick, I wouldn’t say more than forty-five minutes or so.
As I saw the boat approaching the …

My husband purchased this headlamp for everyone in the family (we have all different versions) as he knew we would be living in a continent where there is no stable supply of electricity. In addition, he already planned what we were going to do during official holidays and school …

Berry is a great escape from Sydney particularly for anyone who enjoys nature and camping out.
I prefer to drive which takes about four hours because of the diversity of the landscape, passing from highway to coast to winding hill top roads. It’s a good opportunity to appreciate the …

Once she heard about my plan to have a vacation in Bali last December, my auntie suggested me and my family to visit Pajang-Pajang Beach. She said that the scenery is wonderful.
For everyone in my group know nothing about that place, so we were agreed to take her advise …

Jolly Mill Park is in a desolute area outside of Pierce City Mo., in Southwest, Missouri. We had been told by friends it is a great place to take the kids to swim and fish and just enjoy the day outside. A couple of summers ago we looked up …

I have always loved visiting rustic places like old mills and old bridges. I live in Missouri and have visited probably about ninety percent of all the mills throughout Missouri and Arkansas. I have a collection of pictures I have taken of all the mills and old bridges I …

The London Eye is one of the newer attractions in London. It is a big Ferris wheel just by the Thames, and is hugely popular both in real life and as an easy to spot landmark in films. It was erected in 1999 and has since then become the …

While on vacation, I hardly take my computer with me. Among my favorite things to bring however are my MP3 player, camera and of course, the phone. But, charging them can be problematic as I do not stay in only 1 country. I move from country to country and …

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 …

I didn’t know that hot springs were still the in thing when we went to the Luisa Ridge Resort. We arrived on a Friday and not a single soul was present, but when Saturday night came, droves of rowdy teenagers piled in …

After going to the Grand Palace, this is the second temple that we’ve visited. Since our trip is a “Do Your Own” trip, we’re always carrying our maps with us. To get here, you can either hire a taxi or a tuktuk (tricycle). Since it’s near at the palace, …

This is the first place, i’ve visited in Bangkok. From the hotel, we managed to get a cab to the Grand Palace. But beware, do not get taxis offering a fix amount. Like for us, he offered 50 Baht for the trip. On our way, he then asked us …

Stourbridge is a medium sized town - its population is something over 50,000 - on the south-western fringes of the Black Country region of the English Midlands, which is the industrial (in some cases formerly industrial) region to the west of Birmingham. It is not generally thought of as …

I was in San Francisco recently with my wife for two nights. I was wondering how to make the best of the stay, with two conference talks to give in one afternoon. The receptionist at the hotel pointed out that the best way to visit the city attractions in …

None of that matters though, …

For years, I had heard tales of a street which had been cut off from the City of Edinburgh centuries ago and then was built over and left as it had been. I thought this was fanciful, but, upon enquiry, it turned out to be true. In Edinburgh …

If you fancy a get-away-from-it-all break, you may be surprised at the location I am going to suggest. In early summer, most people would head off to the sunnier spots in Europe and find something cheap in Spain or France, perhaps. They would expect decent weather, of course, which …

The only reason why we went here is because we just wanted to compare the Dolphin show that we’ve seen in Hongkong ocean park from the Dolphin show here at Sentosa, Singapore. And we’re quite intrigued aswell, to the pink dolphins of Singapore.
This lagoon can be found at Palawan …

This is actually one of the historical sites in Macau. Since Macau is quite near to Hongkong, we managed to have a 1 day trip to this place. Going to Macau from Hongkong, you need to get yourself to MTR Sheung Wan Station exit d, go inside Shuntak Centre …

We have been to Las Vegas several times, and we usually try a different hotel each time. We usually stay right on the strip, and because of that you can expect to pay more for a hotel room. So, this time we decided to try a hotel …
