Keno City, Yukon, Silver Trail, Canada

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 …
Penang
My dad says that Penang is actually “Pearl of the Orient”. I think that is a nice name for a state but then do not underestimate this island, for there are about 1.2 million people breeding in it. Most of the population on this island is made …
Pattaya Elephant Village
My friends and I went to Thailand April of this year. We’ve known all along that there are many elephants in Thailand, that was why when we arrived there, one of the first things we asked the hotel desk receptionist was where could we find the elephants, and she …

Another great travel destination that I adore so much would be the one in Finland and the city that I had visited was Helsinki, and this is actually a city with a strong maritime background history and up to date.
Helsinki is donned with lots of nice buildings and lovely …

Robber’s Cave State Park
Recently I went to Robbers Cave State Park in Wilburton, OK for a family reunion. I must say, I was a little skeptical when we arrived. There were a lot of people on the campground, which in my experience doesn’t always end peacefully. There were also park rangers everywhere, …
Point Pelee National Park in Leamington, Canada
I would like to start this review with road directions, after all, lots of people get lost on their way to the Point Pelee National Park in Canada. First, don’t confuse this park with Point Pelee Island which is located in the western basin of Lake Erie. …
Grand-Place (Grote Markt), Brussels, Belgium

Marina Bay Sands Resort
Continuing our journey at Singapore, my uncle brought us to Marina Bay Sands Resort. He said it is the latest architectural masterpiece in Singapore. From afar, it really is amazing. The architectural detail is absolutely breathtaking. However, the atmosphere inside the place is not so fun.
We first roamed …
Alamo San Antonio Texas
I was stationed at Fort Sam Houston Texas for about nine weeks while I attended training for hospital food service with the army. One of my favorite places in Texas that I got to visit was The Alamo. It’s a very unique experience to visit the Alamo after studying …
Jamaica
I am proud to call myself a citizen of this beautiful relatively tiny island. Our people always say, in our native dialect, “wi likkle but wi tallawah”. This simply means that although our island is small, we have achieved a lot. Exhausted examples of this manifest themselves through our …
Grouse Mountain in Vancouver Canada
Grouse Mountain is one of my favorite places to visit, both in the summer and the winter. In the winter it’s a first class ski resort, and in the summer there’s a whole host of things to see and experience.
There are 2 ways to reach the …
Minnehaha Park
When we went to Minneapolis last December 2008, I wanted so bad to see the Minnehaha falls. I know that this 53-foot waterfall, limestone bluffs and river overlooks is marvelous on summer time when thousands and thousands of tourists admire it, but then I figure out that winter’s …
Bon Voyage 15 inch Luggage Bag Piece
As I am sure many people know by now traveling can be very expensive, but this is not only because of the increased cost of a flight and well as the lack of food on a flight but all of the things that you need to make a successful …
Liberty Belle Riverboat, Liberty Square, Walt Disney World, FL
In Liberty Square in the Magic Kingdom of Walt Disney World, FL is the little talked about Liberty Belle Riverboat that cruises around the Rivers of America. Now I can’t say that every single visit in the last 37 years since the park opened and I’ve been attending …
Cleobury Mortimer, England
Cleobury Mortimer is a small but very attractive town in south Shropshire in the west Midlands region of England. Although it has a population of not much more than two thousand, it is most definitely a town and not a village - in fact, it was granted its town …
Anguilla

Devil’s Den State Park
As a family, we like to go to different places throughout Arkansas to camp and spend a couple of days exploring. A friend turned us on to The Devil’s Den State Park. Just the name alone, I found really intriguing. We have since been three times, once with kids …
The White Sand Beach at Puerto Galera, Philippines
It was Holy Week, April of 2008 when my generous Boss brought all of us, (the whole staff with respective families) to the White Beach, Puerto Galera Oriental Mindoro. This beach is perhaps the most visited and popular of Puerto Galera’s beaches. I said so because I already heard …
Sojoton Cove
I was simply mesmerized by the beauty of the view shown on pictures a friend showed to me when they trekked Sohoton Cove one weekend. What really fascinates me are the jelly fish that scattered around the water and one can simply touch it with bare hands.
Sohoton Cove is …
Dewey Beach Delaware
I have spent many a day enjoying the Dewey Beach scene. Dewey is an extremely small party town located just past Rehobath Beach, Delaware. There is not much to the town besides multiple surf shops, ice cream havens, and bars, but for people who enjoy the drinking …
Independence Dam State Park
Independence Dam is a small state park located in Defiance, Ohio. It lies along the banks of the Maumee river. It offers boating, canoeing, and hiking. As small kids we would play on top of the dam while my dad fished. As we got older we would also …
Stroudsberg PA
So its a rainy day and pouring out. Well, East Coasters should listen up. Why not pack the whole family in the car and head for Stroudsberg, Pennsylvania? Stroudsberg sits at a close distance from virtually anywhere in central PA, northern Maryland, or Northern Delaware and it …
Spookers
To be honest if I had known what Spookers was about when I went I probably wouldn’t have gone.
Spookers is a haunted house. Well that is one of the many attractions they have there. It is built in an old mental asylum and decorates the house, …
Old Fort Harrod State Park
I have very fond memories for when I visited Old Fort Harrod State Park, in Kentucky. This place is full of historical facts and certainly was very interesting and educational for me. The cons would be that I find that the town appears to be very small …
Taj Mahal

Sydney Kings Cross
I lived in Kings Cross for several months in 2008 and can vouch for the fact that it is one part of Sydney that never sleeps. This is not a family orientated place, somewhere you would head out with the kids, or a very place to shop. There are …

Grauman’s Chinese Theater
Grauman’s Chinese Theater is another place in Hollywood, Ca that you really need to visit, and I’ve known plenty of people who have gone here, and have not done so, and I honestly have no idea why they would do this! This place is probably a whole lot different …
Crandon Park Beach
When you think of Miami most people think of Miami Vice, South Beach with all the old Neon Signs, and palm trees. These are all great aspects of Miami and are part of why Miami has become such a desitnation spot.

Frankenmuth Riverplace and Zehnder’s
When you go to Frankenmuth, Michigan, there are a lot places to go which includes Bronner’s Christmas Wonderland, Frankenmuth Riverplace, and Zehnders.

Custer State Park

Sarasota Jungle Gardens, Sarasota, FL

Whale watching has become a tourist drawer lately in Victoria, BC. Fishermen who are out on the water frequently are always spotting whales surfacing on our ocean, the Pacific. In the last few years some boaters have made it their business to take people out in the …
Mexico Chichen-Itza
One of the places I visited in Mexico is Chichen-Itza, an ancient and historical ruin in the Yucatan peninsula. My family and I were staying in Playa del Carmen and this was definitely on our list. Previously, my husband was already in the area and he promised that he …
Bastogne, Belgium
On our way back from the North Sea coast last May 6, 2010, we took the N4 which would take us to Bastogne. Instead of taking the E25 which is the highway connecting Belgium and Luxembourg, we took the national road. We usually do this detour to Bastogne but …
Baltimore Aquarium
The Baltimore Aquarium is perhaps the most breathtaking aquarium that I have visited in my life. It is located in central Baltimore, MD and attracts tourists by the thousands year after year. Not only can you view divers swim with the scariest sharks I have seen in …
