Panglao Island is one of the islands in Bohol province. For me it’s like mini Boracay because of the white sand. That island is not yet that commercialized compared to Boracay. There is a dolhin show every morning at the sea. At night you can …

The Floral Clock is not one of the most heralded attractions of Niagara Falls, but it is certainly there. I decided to take the time to drive out to the clock (it is a ways away from the Falls themselves). I sort of wish I hadn’t bothered.

After spending over six months here during several trips I could no longer recommend this park to anyone since the new caretaker took over in early 2012.
Ameneties are now extrememly poor. The bathroom blocks are rundown and absolutely filthy. It takes at least ten minutes in the female …

Wild Waters (water park) is a fun must-do if you’re visiting in the Ocala area or are either a few minutes or hours outside the city. Although the address says it’s located in Silver Springs, FL, I’m familiar with the area and I know it as Ocala. Wild Waters …
