When most people think of Georgia, they think of old time southern hospitality, like in “Gone with the Wind”. Where women are sitting on their front porches, sipping iced tea, and gossiping about the new family who moved into town. Even though you can still find that in …

On a recent trip to a resort in the Dominican Republic, we drove into Santa Domingo some two hours away so we could see some history-resorts don’t provide a lot of history or culture of the country. We asked a few of the resort staff to tell us what …

Mysore Palace is an architectural extravaganza in all angles. Spread around a vast area of around hundred acres. Mysore Palace is a true palace in all its meaning. It is truly a grand palace in south India. The structure itself is an elegant structure. All its interior antiques …

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 …

I always loved travelling and to make all my travel experiences a memorable one, I would leave no stone unturned. Since travelling for long journeys required an equally long list of necessities, the problem I would face was accommodating them in as many less suitcases as possible. This would …

We always have such a great day out when we visit Aqualand water park in Torremolinos while on holiday is Spain. When we go it is my husband, my mom and dad and our 2 children. So we cover all possible age group when we go, and …

Saigon is a pretty big city. Modern buildings are scattered almost everywhere. But they are not exactly what I wanted to see. As a tourist, I expected to see historical buildings, try local foods, and buy some souvenirs, etc. Thanks to Pham Ngu Lao St for its location as …

On the East coast of Florida, just a short drive from Melbourne Beach on A1A is Sebastian Inlet. This is a great place to take a family for the day and it’s fairly inexpensive at less than $5 a carload I think. There’s excellent Saltwater fishing there. …

If you have ever driven down the Souther Oregon coast on hwy. 101 towards California, you have noticed an enormous concrete tyrannasauras rex leering out at you from the right side of the road. “Goodness!” you probably thought, “whatever oculd possess someone to build a giant concrete dinosaur and …

I went on the Las Vegas Club Crawl while visiting Vegas for a friend’s 30th birthday. We got the passes for $40 through LivingSocial, which is a little less than half price $85). Although I had a good time, I’m glad I only payed the $40. This club crawl …

After living in the area on and off for at least 6 years, I finally made the trip to the top of the Tybee Island Lighthouse, and it was a great experience. If you’re afraid of heights, the climb to the top can be a bit frightening, but the …

Vacation is one of the best things you can do to keep yourself away from the office and pamper your mind with relaxation in a stress-free environment. My very first week-long vacation and probably the longest so far is with my office mates Grace and Faye in a wonderful …

We were having breakfast on the harbor when a little train passed us by. By little I mean a cute …

Gabane is a bit out of Gaborone (about an hour’s drive) but if you want to see local artisanal stuff, this is one of the better places to go. During my first visit, we were lucky because a colleague of my husband showed the way. Our next visit, however, …

I’ve always associated volcanos as dangerous and unsafe places. You could say they’re temperamental as one day a volcano may appear to be resting peacefully then with a twinkling of an eye in an unpredictable moment they have a horrid habbit or erupting violently in a rage of anger …

From Gaborone, my family and I took a flight to Kasane which enabled us to visit Chobe National Park easily. As I entered Kasane town, I was expecting to see herds of elephants as this area is well known for its large elephant population. I knew beforehand that in …

Take a step back in time to the early 1900’s at Heritage Park. I recently visited this park and hadn’t been there previously since the 80’s. Not much has changed, but then it is supposed to show life in the early days in Alberta. There is …

Undeveloped, tainted by abusive tourists and dirty. Those were the exact words I used to describe Daranak Falls to a friend who was interested to see it. I told her not to waste her time visiting this place. Even the name now sounds disgusting to me. The water used …

After going to the Grand Palace, this is the second temple that we’ve visited. Since our trip is a “Do Your Own” trip, we’re always carrying our maps with us. To get here, you can either hire a taxi or a tuktuk (tricycle). Since it’s near at the palace, …

Augusta, Georgia is what I would call a military town. It sits on the outskirts of Fort Gordon. It is fairly good sized in my opinion in that it has two malls. The town is split though by the Savannah River so the part that is in South Carolina …

For our overnight stay at Philadelphia, my family bought All Day Passes from the Philadelphia Trolley Works and 76 Carriage Company for US$27 per person. This is a Hop On Hop Off pass good for one day, just like we did in New York City.
The tour around …

Gili Island is located in Indonesia and it is an island that is pretty close to my homeland, Singapore. I have been a couple of times to this island with my group of friends and family, on separate occasions. I must say that island life here really …

I remember going here a while back (two years ago) on vacatin with a couple of friends who won the trip on-line. I gotta admit that we felt sort of out of place. Sure it’s a family destination but primarily a Honeymoon lieu. The Island itself is AMAZING, truly …

The starting point of Big …

I can’t seem to tour any destination without taking in a few historic sites and relative to architecture: my selective pick with regard to the Reno-Tahoe area is the very historically “cool” Nevada State Capitol Building and located in Carson City, Nevada.
There are a good many structures (that it …

During a trip through Kentucky, we decided to stop in the capital city Frankfort, and we were persuaded to make a stop at Liberty Hall Historic Site. A friendly local suggested we see this site after finding out I was a history buff and that I liked antiques, so we …

Camayan Beach is one of the best beaches for snorkeling and nightlife in the Subic Bay area. Getting there from Manila takes around 3hours. This used to be underdeveloped, but surprisingly come 2009 when we visited the beach, this became a great place to stay!
Our family booked one of …

Paris is one of the best cities ever to visit, and if you still haven’t yet come to visit Paris, or have visited, but yet to explore the wonders of Paris, then by all means do so. The whole city is a rare gem and treasure waiting to …
