Travel Reviews
Golden and District Museum
One of the reasons that I don’t mind traveling through Western Canada so often for work purposes is that there are a wealth of interesting stops and points of interest, if you are prepared to take a few minutes out of your trip. One of the great features about …

Visit Britain
If you’ve ever considered visiting Britain for a vacation there are at least two very good reasons for doing so.
First, there are all the extremely interesting contemporary and historical things that visitors to Britain can see and do while on holiday there.
Second, and this is what I’ll concentrate on …
Royal Observatory and Maritime Museum, Greenwich
If you want to have an interesting and quite cheap day out in London, Greenwich is a good place to go. Getting there with public transport is easy, you have to purchase an extra ticket if you have a ticket for the London Underground, and then the trains go …

Green Meadows Petting Farm, Kissimmee, FL
When I had family visiting from out of state and they had done all the Disney, Universal and Sea world attractions, they were looking for something a little quieter and cheaper in the Orlando/Kissimmee area to do where they might be less squabbling and more smiling.
I happened to think …
Terengganu
Terengganu is one of the most popular destinations of the world, and my aunt has just done up with a holiday for a few days there. I had been to Terengganu just last year with my siblings and relatives and we were there to enjoy the beaches and …

Tam-awan Village
For those who want to see how the ethnic tribes of Benguet lived, this is a great place to visit. Nestled atop the mountains, it was designed to imitate what an ethnic village will look like. The huts were painstakingly taken down from real villages and erected again. Since …
Red Light District, Amsterdam, The Netherlands
The mention of the Red Light District in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, has always conjured up images of seedy perversion and dirty and crime-ridden streets, a place not in the least bit safe for visitors to come. With such a notorious reputation, I expected to be quite appalled; instead, if …
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 …
Vacation in Ohio-Lake Erie

Wroxeter Roman City, Shropshire, England
Wroxeter Roman City is a remarkable and dramatic sight in the heart of the Shropshire countryside, and one which I would most certainly urge people to visit, as once glimpsed it is very unlikely ever to be forgotten! As its name implies, it consists of the ruins of a …
JUTC Premium Buses
I have travelled on the ordinary Jamaican Urban Transit Company (JUTC) buses a lot, and I find that even though I think they tend to be safer than travelling in a taxi, or any car for that matter, I tend to appreciate their premium service buses the most. This …
Zanzibar Island, Tanzania
This must be a well-known part of Tanzania and although it belongs to the country, administratively, it has its own Prresident to oversee it political administration. Its like an independent island but belonging to Tanzania. I also knew that the late Freddy Mercury of the pop rock band …
Lassen Volcanic National Park
I live not too far away from Lassen Park, so it has a special fondness for me, especially the memories of frequent trips there with my family.
The main attraction is Mount Lassen which last erupted in 1915, but there are numerous other sights to see as well.
I’ve actually hiked …

Hilton Head Island Vacation Destination
The beaches of South Carolina have long been a desired destination for families looking for an inexpensive vacation. As a result, Myrtle Beach particularly has become overrun with people from all over the place. It has become too busy, and the quality of smenities has greatly decreased.
After …
Acadia National Park
I am from the Midwest so the east coast is an unexplored area for me. When I was recently there, it reminded me somewhat of Wisconsin. My husband and I spent a week at Blackwoods campgrounds. This campground is surrounded by big woods with large pines …
Mackinac City and Island
One of our summer getaways this 2009 is when we went to Mackinac City and Mackinac Island. It is more or less 300 miles away from Metro Detroit but it is definitely worth the effort and the drive.
About Mackinac City and Mackinac Island:
This place is a part of the state …
Anapolis, Maryland
It is my firm conviction that with years to come, Anapolis, Maryland is going to become more and more of a tourist attraction, and hot spot to visit. I traveled there with my family, and I was under the very incorrect assumption that I would get to tour …
Magic Kingdom - Christmas Day
Going to Disney World is one of those few experiences that can last with you for a long time, but going during the Christmas Season brings about so much more to experience, discover, and see. And yet, going on Christmas Day, is an experience in itself. You learn some …
Manali
India is quite famous as hot tourist destination in the west for places like Goa, Kerela, Rajasthan, and Jammu & Kashmir. But very few western tourists actually know about the tourist hamlets of the northern hilly regions based in the state of Himachal Pradesh.

Carmel, CA

Ocean’s in Glass Hawaii Souvenirs
This place is a neat little glass blowing shop in the same shopping center that the famous (but awful) Cholo’s Mexican Restaurant is located in. This adorable shop is kind of tucked in the back corner of this center, but don’t forget to stop here to browse the …
Baguio City
The minute I step out of the bus, I already hated the place. I had to endure an 8 hour trip in the same row as a child who was being fed by her mother steadily for the first four hours of the trip, and the same child who …

Luray Caverns
I don’t get much of an opportunity to travel and, when I do, I wouldn’t exactly say that I’m much for the “outdoors-y” type of stuff, unless it’s something of spiritual significance (like a hike to a Buddhist temple, for instance), but when my mother-in-law wanted us to stop …
Saguaro National Park Tucson Arizona
Saguaro National Park in Tucson, Arizona is another natural wonder of the good old USA. This park has hiking trails, picnic areas, and absolutely no swimming, because it is in the middle of the Sonoran Desert. This park is absolutely great and has miles and miles of saguaro cactus …
