Pagudpod Island
It was one beautiful summer and for our regular summer retreat chose Pagudpod Island as our destination. Results of researches done on the internet about Pagudpod encouraged us a lot to visit the place. The positive reviews about the superiority of the beaches enticed us all the more. So …
St. Augustine, Florida
I thought it was strange that I had been born and raised in Florida, but I had never visited the Nation’s oldest city. St Augustine is the nation’s oldest city and it’s only a few hours from where I live. So, I asked my husband if we could spend …
Baguio Tourist Places
Going to baguio does not only mean cold weather, strawberry fields, ukay-ukay or zigzag roads. Actually when I hear people going to Baguio I would often tell them to bring fresh fruits and vegetables; Baguio offers the cheapest vegetables, actually usually 75% less than the original price and people …
Bungalow Bay Campground Magnetic Island

We chose Bungalow Bay because it …

Travelling has become a part and parcel of my life. Though I love everything about travelling, I must admit my irregular sleep patterns sometimes take a toll on my health and this become very irritating and inconvenient for me. This is when one of my acquaintance suggested that I …
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 …
Botswana National Museum and Art Gallery
This museum is just within walking distance from my house and often, my family would visit it during weekend as it is also open during Sundays (mornings only). I pay a very minimal fee and the visit can actually be completed in 1 or 2 hours unless you want …

Stonehenge
On my recent trip to the UK, I was taken by my friend for a day at Stonehenge. It was worth the long ride. When you approach the site, you can see fairly clearly even from the road the stone circle which has engrossed and mystified so …
The Flower Fields Carlsbad, CA
The Flower Fields in Carlsbad, California are definitely worth the trip. These beautiful fields cover 50 acres on a hillside overlooking the Pacific Ocean and are within 15 minutes drive to Legoland California. I would recommend at least a three or four hours to visit these fields.

Freeport, Grand Bahama Island
This past February, I was fortunate enough to visit the Bahamas, Freeport to be exact. I should first mention that I won this trip so I was pretty easy to impress! Many people think Freeport on Grand Bahama Island is a bit tacky. They tend to …
Thomson Travel Agent
One of the most popular Travel Agents in the tourism and travel industry is “Thomson”. Experiencing some financial difficulties a few years ago it became part of the “Tui” family, rather recently. Since then the quality in the customer service has improved a great deal.
A few weeks ago I …
Royal Ontario Museum
My favourite museum in Canada is the Royal Ontario Museum, and although I visited it years ago, I was looking forward to seeing it as an adult. Although I missed the —˜Dead Sea Scrolls’ exhibit by a few weeks, this most recent visit was enjoyable, educational and as usual, …

Lost River Gorge and Boulder Caves
Let me preface this review by saying that while I’ve been to Lost River Gorge and Boulder Caves many many times in the past 30 years, I have personally only done some of the caves because of an intense fear of tight spaces, however, my kids have done them …
Clifton Suspension Bridge, England
The Clifton Suspension Bridge in (unsurprisingly) the Clifton region of Bristol is an enormous tourist attraction, and although it remains an important road link to the communities and countryside to the west of the city, it is perhaps now visited by more tourists than locals every year. As such, …
Blyde River Canyon Nature Reserve
Accommodation: Staying at the majestically beautiful Panorama Chalets, about 2 kilometers out of Graskop, at a rate of the equivalent of $46 per night (actually meant for two people), this made for a very nice place to come back to after a complete day of exploring the Blyde River …
Travel to Yosemite National Park
I could not believe Yosemite National Park when I first entered. You enter a gigantic valley with rocky cliff faces on either side, a couple of water falls that go all the way down the cliffs, and Halfdome in the distance. You think that the cliff walls …

We parked in the Leatherwood Ford Trail Head parking and began the preparations for what we hoped would be a new adventure and add a notch onto my hiking stick. My hiking stick is unique in that I made it myself and finished it off with a nice stain …
Colonial Spanish Quarter Village, St. Augustine, Florida
Along the busy and beautiful pedestrian route of St. George Street in St. Augustine, Florida, there’s one nice attraction that showcases the city’s ancient history.

General Lee’s Headquarters, Gettysburg, Pennsylvania
When I visited General Lee’s Headquarters in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania a few years ago, I had mixed feelings. Though the quaint stone building is quite beautiful and eye-catching, the museum itself is small, so at first I wasn’t sure if it was worth the trip. A bonus for me was …
The Beechwood Mansion, Newport, RI
In Newport, RI, there are several magnificent mansions. Many of the mansions, you can tour. This review is about one that I had the opportunity to tour this past summer. It’s called Beechwood and it’s the historic mansion of the Astor family.
This is not just another semi-interesting tour …
Grand Canyon Travel
If you’re traveling out to the Grand Canyon anytime soon, plan on one day being spent in Williams AZ and taking a ride on the old Steam Engine Train, Grand Canyon Railroad. I loved this train ride not only for the spectacular views, but also for the entertainment.
Once you …
Riverquarium
The Flint Riverquarium of Albany, GA, was actually quite impressive for a small town exhibit. I cannot say that I was impressed by the staff member at the ticket counter (attitude and manners could have been better), but upon entering the building I was met with the friendly, smiling …

Last spring my kids and I were able to visit Huntsville, Texas. This is a nice, quiet town rich with Texas history. We made a day trip out of it and really enjoyed our time.
We were happy that the traffic between Houston and Huntsville was not bad on a …
Heaven’s Up North Campground
My husband and I are very fussy about where we camp. This is another one of the places that suit us. Lakewood is a very picturesque area. The profile of the surrounding area is really low key and although there are a lot of people; …
Carolina Beach
I went to Carolina Beach with some friends during one of the few breaks we get. We were doing clean up in Wilmington and we took supplies to a group down by Carolina Beach. I love the ocean but after a hurricane hits it reminds you of the destructive …
Pergamon Museum in Berlin
Located on Museum Island, Pergamon Museum offers the largest, most visually astounding exhibitions on the planet. Seriously, I’m talking HUGE here. Even the museum’s building is monumental, not to mention what’s inside of it. An adult ticket is 10 EUR, which is valid for most of the museums located …
The demolition derby
The Demolition Derby up at the local fairgrounds in my town is a sight to see. So far every year I have lived here in Jamestown TN we have went to it. Last year when we went one of the cars were going so fast it went through the …
Pahang
My mom told me that in West Malaysia, Pahang is actually the largest state in Malaysia. For a fact, my late grandmother’s ancestors were all from Pahang but then I am 100% Singaporean breed. Of course, I have been to Pahang and checking out the late, late …
City of Mandalay, Myanmar
Mandalay was not in my program at first. But my wife asked if we could visit other towns beyond Yangon during our stay in Myanmar. We then went there and feel lucky to get this chance. Mandalay is located in the central of Myanmar but the weather was warm to …
Hong Mei Walking Street
This is a great destination for expats probably more than travelers. It features a wide range of foreign foods, the things that expats tend to miss when their away from home, but that travelers try to avoid. Not saying they don’t go there, because they do and …
Barwon Caravan & Tourist Park, Belmont, Victoria, Australia

Alamo NV travel
With reference to my title for this review (”Lord Of The Flies”, taken from the British film), you’ll not find any lost English children chasing wild boars or each other through Alamo, Nevada, but you may find the experience of visiting, or even traveling through, this hamlet nearly as …
