Fred Dale nature reserve, Worcestershire
The Fred Dale nature reserve, which lies on the edge of the Wyre Forest close to the River Severn west of Bewdley, is by no means well known, and even in the local area some people may not recognise the name - which, incidentally, honours a member of Wyre …
Puerto Vallarta Mexico
This is a nice place to take a trip to, you will need a passport. The weather is usually mild and throughout the year there is always something going on, to some extent it’s like stepping back in time. There is a lot to do and see if you end …
Titanic Museum
What first atrracted us, and probably everyone else, to the Titantic Museum is the look. It is built like a ship, set up to look just like the original Titantic. We had wanted to stop on previous visits to Branson, but it always looked so busy and the parking …
Universal Studios Hollywood
When we went to Orlando, Florida, we just visited Disney World. It was a very short trip that we were not able to go to Universal Studios. My husband has been there few years ago and he’s all praises with the place. So when we went to Los Angeles, …
Caladesi Island State Park, FL
On the West Coast of Florida, North of Clearwater is a state park on one of the barrier islands called Caladesi State Park. There have been many words used to describe this beautiful place but when I’ve gone there, only one word comes to mind repeatedly, serenity.
It’s been …

National Sea Life Centre, Birmingham, England
There is a network of National Sea Life Centres around the United Kingdom, but the one I am reviewing in this piece is the one in Birmingham, which is therefore very nicely situated in the middle of the country. I think this is an advantage for two reasons - …
Van Saun County Park - Paramus, NJ
Growing up in Bergen County, New Jersey, there weren’t alot of zoos and aquariums nearby. However, we had one gem: Van Saun County Park & Zoo! I have been there more times than I can count, and now enjoy taking my son when we visit family back east.
If …
Splash Island
It’s Summer already? Then head your way to Splash Island, and splash in the cool pool of water! (Corny, I know.)
For me, it is a good place for the family to spend time together, while enjoying and paddling in the water. And not just any water, but a refreshing …
The Greenfield Village
Aside from The Henry Ford Museum, the Greenfield Village is another place well loved by Michigan locals and is a spot most visited by tourists from all over the world. Most residents in the nearby cities of Dearborn acquired membership to have a free access in Greenfield Village …
What to do in San Francisco ?
There are many things to see and do in San Francisco. My favourites were:
1. Taking the trolley bus (or cable car) from downtown to Fisherman’s Wharf - it’s exciting (and sometimes a little nerve-racking) to hurtle up and down the steep streets in an open trolley bus, especially if …
South Africa Himeville
This is the ideal place for a stopover on the way to Sodwana Bay from the Sani Pass in Lesotho. Both border posts in Lesotho and the South Africa sides do not have a lot of traffic as it is forbidden to go up the pass without an off …

Arc de Triomphe-Paris
When I was in Paris, we timed our visit to the city’s symbolic and famous Arc de Triomphe so that we could walk along the Champs-Elysees and end up at the Arc, which is located at the very end of the huge street. We had also read that there …
Besozzo
Besozzo is one of the less livelier places which surround Varese. Besozzo has a lot to offer to potential visitors. First of there is a pool where one can go for a swim, there is a pretty small shopping district where you can find a variety of items. There …

Tuk-tuk public transport, Bangkok
As foreign tourists, we were not sure to use the city bus in Bangkok which was normally very crowded, while taxis were certainly expensive. Therefore, the choice fell on the tuk-tuk, the three-cycle vehicle. Our first experience with the tuk-tuk was, however, not very good. Recently right after we …
Seneca Caverns cave tour
Seneca Caverns is a great tourist location in West Virginia. The cave is beautiful, streaked with minerals caused by runoff. The guided tour takes about 45 minutes. The cost is as follows: children under 3 tour for free, 4-12 for $8, and 13 and up $13. Discounts are available …

The services are run by Moto and are fairly large services …
Jacksonville Zoo and Gardens
The Jacksonville Zoo and Gardens is one of my favorite must-stops whenever I travel to Jacksonville to spend time with family. I like the zoo so much because it’s colossal and it incorporates a diverse group of animals from all over the world. It’s also half zoo and half …
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 …
Sentosa Island
My family and I just came from Sentosa Island in Singapore last May 18 and it was definitely a very memorable trip worth sharing. We had a lot of experiences and happy moments in this island that we will always remember.

St. Augustine, FL
The last time we had company coming in from out of town, it was my Aunt and Uncle from up North. They had visited Florida before, but spent most of their time on the West Coast visiting my other Aunt and Uncle when they used to live in …
Cliffs of Moher - County Clare, Ireland
I stayed in Galway in late November and visited the Cliffs of Moher. It wasn’t the first time either. And last time was better! Five years ago you could walk right down to the concrete cliffs edge viewing platform, lie down and stick your head over the edge if you …
Monaco
Monaco is in Europe and I certainly feel that it is a land of luxury. Last time when I was small, I was quite surprised to know that Monaco is actually the richest country in the world. But then again, everything there is pretty expensive and I …
Sistine Chapel
When in Rome—¦you must visit the Sistine Chapel! After all, this is the one piece of art that you spend years and years hearing about. People rave about the experience of seeing Michaelangelo’s famous ceiling; their lives get changed, their photographic documentations remain fixtures forever, and the stories are …

Old Town Portrait Shop, Kissimmee, Florida
One of the few places that I always seem to visit when I travel to Orlando, is Old Town. Yes, there are tons of tourist shopping areas in Kissimmee and Orlando, but Old Town has always been something special to me. Don’t know why, but it always has. And …
City of Maastricht
This city was build by the Romans. They gave it the Mosam at Trajectum cause this was the lowest point of the river where they could cross it without having the need for a bridge.
Over the centuries Maastricht has seen many wars. From the French to the Spanish and …

East 6th Street & Congress Ave. Ever hear of people going down there to party. I’m sure you have because I know I’ve heard about this happening all the time. It’s the happening place, etc, etc, and I have to tell you it does seem pretty true. It does …
Jericho Beach in Vancouver, Canada
Another charming beach that the city of Vancouver has to offer is Jericho Beach, which is wide as it is long. When you go to see this beach, be ready for a long walk. I myself make sure that I’m wearing rubber shoes instead of flip flops …
Oak Alley Plantation Vacherie Lousiana

One of my all time favorite vacation spots is Pigeon Forge, Tennessee. I love it so much because it is a beautiful town, plus it has a really great theme park called Dollywood. Dollywood was created by none other than Miss Dolly Pardon.
Now I know you may …
Llandudno Pier, Llandudno, Wales
The seaside resort of Llandudno on the north coast of Wales is well known (and in my opinion deservedly so) for its delightful, and slightly old-fashioned, holiday atmosphere, making it perfect for families. One of the things that contribute greatly to this feel is the town’s traditional Victorian pier, …
The city of New Haven
Downtown new haven is a crappy place to be. It is so violent and it sucks! All that there is to do in downtown New Haven is drink and eat fast food. The shops that they do have there suck so much and they need to close down the …
Skywalk Observatory
In Massachusetts, Boston, my whole family and my aunt’s family have been to Skywalk Observatory before. We went in a large group to this fascinating travel destination. If you do go for a visit to Boston, it is a must to check out this place. I give …
Sandy Pines Resort Campground
Living in Michigan, we only get about 4 months out of the year to enjoy the great outdoors. That is, if you like warm weather like me. The other months are too cold for my taste. One of the activities we enjoy as a family is …
Albania travel
I had the opportunity to travel to Tirana, Albania in October 2008 while travelling with a friend. Neither of us knew much about Albania and had no idea what to expect. We soon found out that Albania is both a difficult and wonderful country to travel …

White Rock Beaches in British Columbia, Canada

Venice Italy
Hello fellow travelers,
What could be more fun than traveling to faraway places? One place you may wish to plan a trip is Venice Italy. I remember as a kid seeing a picture of three businessmen wearing nearly knee high boots and traversing in front of the shops: …
