Heritage Museum
In washington DC there are many museums besides the Heritage Museum but I’ll be focusing on this one. Although they call it Heritage museum, it’s more like animals and gemstones, and artworks.

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 …

Jelly Belly Factory Tour
We have done this tour twice. It is a free walking tour of the factory that takes approximately 40 minutes. You get to see the entire process of how a jelly bean is created and packaged. It is very interesting, but I would say it would not be for …

Sequoyah’s Home
My visit to Sequoyah’s home, earlier this spring, caused me to ponder the intertwining of the lives of those who have impacted American history.

Palm Beach Florida
Palm Beach, Florida has a very nice setting and the beach is filled with scantily, bikini-clad women and sexy men in their beachwear. However, that is not the main attraction at all that I find in this travel destination. Personally to me, Palm Beach is a nice …

Sydney
Sydney is Australia’s largest city, currently with a population of aprox 4.3 million people. It’s not one of those cities with countless high rise apartments with congested living spaces, Sydney has a large area for it’s population.

The tour covers the entire four-story home, from …
Mallaig, Scotland
Mallaig, on the western coast of Highland Scotland, may not be everyone’s first thought when they come to consider places to visit in that part of the world. It is, after all, first and foremost a port, and in general ports are not the most attractive of towns. To …
Long Beach, California
Long Beach, California is a great place to go, and yes I’m going to be pretty biased here in regards to this city. Not because I’m from this city, or even because I ever loved there. But all because I love the beach, and if I’m by a beach …
City of Mandalay, Myanmar

Prague travel
When you go from Vienna to Prague the difference hits you like a hammer.

Maho Bay Beach

Banff National Park in Alberta, Canada
If you ask me which park is the best park in the world, you have asked me a very easy question, indeed. It’s Banff National Park for me nothing else ever comes close!
Niagara Falls will be my second choice, but I can tell you my number one and …

Trip to Ayutthaya, Thailand
It is said that Ayutthaya (pronounced as ah-you-teah) is the former capital of the Kingdom of Siam (Thailand). This made me want to visit the city but I did not expect to see only ruins. Alas, the city accommodates many ruins of the temples, but surprisingly I could not …
Disney’s Epcot Park

Rietvlei Dam Nature Park

One such opportunity came when I discovered Rietvlei …

I have been to the Parkes Radio Telescope a few times. It is a great sight to see, it is spectacular seeing such an important and large land mark in the middle of nowhere (even better to see at night) as mentioned in the movie which is based and …
