Travel Reviews
Iowa County Historical Society Museum
My wife and I decided to spend our 5th wedding anniversary in Dodgeville, WI. And, while we enjoyed our trip, we did discover that there really isn’t much to do down in that part of the state.
That’s part of the reason why we ended up visiting the Iowa County …
Byron Bay
Byron Bay still has a reputation as being a haven of alternative lifestyles despite the fact that it has become shamelessly commercial and incredibly expensive tourist trap. I could almost see the seventies hippie era standing in the main street, but a certain fast food restaurant chain was blocking …
Daranak Falls
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 …
Chembra peak
If u are interesting in trekking then I have a very good spot here in Kerala, which is a state in India, and the place is known as Chembra peak. Chembra is a highest peak in wayanad and it is a ideal spot for trekking. I had been …
The City of San Antonio, TX
San Antonio is really the underdog to other Texas cities like Houston, and Dallas. Although Houston and Dallas are much larger, San Antonio, still has as much to offer. The city is located kind of in the middle of texas, and is famous for the battle of the Alamo. …
Madame Tussauds London
I had been looking forward to visiting Madame Tussauds in London for 5 years. I talked my fellow travellers into standing in the LONG line with me, they were agreeable as a Pirates exhibit had just opened there. It took us almost 2 hours to finally get …
Lead Pass, Quito, Ecuador
Lead Adventures one pass is a great way to experience Ecuador independently while having access to expert advise; the Lead Pass takes away a lot of confusion by providing prearranged travel and accommodation while offering the flexibility of choosing what you what to do and how long you want …
Makati City
A lot of my foreign friends ask me what city or town they should stay when visiting Manila. I only have one answer for them, Makati. Although many know this city as a financial district, there are plenty of hotels, shopping malls and restaurants all over the area. From …
Camp John Hay
Camp John Jay is located in Baguio City, Philippines. I think it used to be an army barracks for American soldiers, thus the name Camp John Hay, until the US bases were turned over to the Philippine local government. A local real estate firm developed the whole place and …
Trip Rewards Incentive Program
Trip Rewards is a program that is free to join, and it definitely worth it. Members of Trip Rewards earn points redeemable for many items, including merchant and restaurant gift cards, free hotel stays, movie tickets, and more. To sign up, all you have to do is visit a …
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 …
Pretoria Zoological Gardens
My first visit to this zoo was not one that I have vivid memories of as I was very young at the time. Although my memory is relatively good, when I went there for the second time recently, it was not my first choice of an afternoon out initially, …
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 …
Trans by Jansport Backpack
I’ve had the Trans by Jansport Backpack for four years now, and it’s still in excellent condition. The very top layer of fabric was torn up a little by the time I finished with it, and it did collect a few stains, but other than that, it barely suffered …
Pioneer Village
I absolutely enjoyed my visit to the Pioneer Village in Minden, Nebraska. This place is a huge collection of Americana, full of wonder and history. As it is often advertised, it’s a living history and not just a museum or old west grouping of buildings.
Pioneer Village was …
Disney World, Orlando, Florida
My family had visited Florida for two years in a row and hadn’t yet explored Disney World, so a few years ago we decided to take a trip down to see Mickey Mouse. Although Kissimmee-area buses pick-up visitors bound for Disney World, we decided to take the car, and …
MarineLand
MarineLand is one of the best amusement parks I have ever been to! There is plenty for everyone to enjoy, whether you are a 1 or 100 years old, you will be happy you spent the day at MarineLand! Not only are there many attractions that showcase animals of …
Lost River Gorge and Boulder Caves
Let me preface this review by saying that while I’ve been to Lost River Gorge and Boulder Caves many many times in the past 30 years, I have personally only done some of the caves because of an intense fear of tight spaces, however, my kids have done them …
Burra Caves,Visakhapatnam
Three years back, I visited amazing and very interesting place in Visakhapatnam. That is Burra caves, an exciting creations of nature. These highly attractive and beautiful caves are located nearly 95 km away from the visakhapatnam. These fascinating creations are very big limestone pillars formed naturally millions …
Sea Life Park Oahu
Sea Life Park is a great place to spend the day with your kids, but if you are expecting it to be anywhere near as exciting as Sea World in San Diego Calif. then you will be disappointed. In fact, there is a much better marine exhibit on …
Destinations Specialist Cebu (SM Branch)
I have had every opportunity dealing with so much incompetence that whenever I encounter competence and reliability I thank God for such a blessing.
Indeed, it has been a blessing that I have been aided by competent people from Destination Specialist to handle every travel requirements for my job. …
North Thailand
North Thailand is a distinct area that I have been to sometime back with my boyfriend. There appears to be lots of lowlands, nice valleys and an array of rolling hills that I felt were very picturesque. Rumors have it that there were opium poppies around and …
Casa Corner
When we Lyndsey, Kurt and I stayed in Spain for Christmas a couple of years ago we stayed in a three bedroom town house which was just one road back from the beach in La Cala de Mijas. The property is owned by an English family and I …
Fort De Soto State Park, Pinellas County, FL
In Pinellas County, FL is a beautiful State Park called Fort De Soto State Park. Now besides the Fort where they actually have a 12″ Mortar Battery and rapid fire rifle guns. My husband and son always love visiting the Fort. I’m not that much of a history buff …
Catacombs of Rome (St. Callistus Catacombs)
Amongst the many attractions that are available while in Rome, Italy, the Catacombs are one of the must-see sites. I almost skipped this amazing place, because we were running out of time, but we were convinced by another tourist couple we met in a cafĂ© to make the time, …
Fred Dale nature reserve, Worcestershire
The Fred Dale nature reserve, which lies on the edge of the Wyre Forest close to the River Severn west of Bewdley, is by no means well known, and even in the local area some people may not recognise the name - which, incidentally, honours a member of Wyre …
Wat Sisaket, Vientiane, Laos
I learned about this place from other people through their blogs. They say that it is a must see spot. The location is in the city center at the corner between Rue Sethathirath and Avenue Lane Xang. It is very easy to get to this place, on foot if …
Lewis Clark TSA Combo Lock
This is probably one of the best travel combination locks that I have ever seen because it combines many of the things that I was looking for in a travel lock. First of all, I needed to consider that this was not a lock for a protective cheat and …
Hawaiian Parasail Inc.
This parasail is the best if you want to try this fun activity while in Hawaii. I really like this company above the others for several reasons which I will tell you about. First, it is located in the Harbor close to town in Honolulu - this …
Palermo
Palermo is one of the most famous cities in Italy. It is a truly beautiful coastal city. It has amazing beaches, people and restaurants.
The food is AMAZINGLY delicious and very abundant.
Their pizzas are a true work of art, so really incredibly rich in flavor, the only other place where …
Strensham services
Strensham services are situated on the M5 motorway south of Worcester, just north of the junction with the M50 motorway. This makes them a very useful stop for drivers travelling between Birmingham and Bristol or south Wales. I like the fact that when travelling northbound, there is a half-mile …
Magic House St. Louis
The Magic House is St. Louis, Missouri is a very over the top fun and nice place to visit. I went with my aunt’s family and my youngest brother and we all went to bring the kids for a fun place while we visited Missouri. The best …

On this particular occasion, I was traveling quite heavy in terms of the number of people I was with on the regular visit to various parts of the Kruger National Park, and my experience gathered up on the previous visits had us lodging at the Pestana Kruger Lodge, which …
Lahaina beach Oahu
Lahaina beach is one of the most beautiful beaches in the world. It is situated on the eastern coast of the island of Oahu in Hawaii. The beach is different from all the other hawaiian beaches because it has extremely white and soft sand. It is about 5 Km …
Fiji Castaway
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 Airport of Milan Malpensa
As far as I am Russian but for the last four years I have been living in Italy, I go to Russia to visit my relatives and friends every year. This summer I decided to go there in August. Bad choice! Cuase this is the period when almost all …
Coron, Calamian Group of islands, Palawan, Philippines
When I think of Palawan, the first thing that comes to mind are the virgin beaches and white sand. When my husband finally decided to go and visit Coron, I was skeptical and did not want to go at first.
We took the PAL Express air (the small planes) to …
Chester, England
The ancient city of Chester in (unsurprisingly) the county of Cheshire is a remarkable little city, and one which I thoroughly recommend a visit to. However, you do need to be aware that its very popularity means that it is not a place where you are all that likely …
Pagsanjan Falls
A friend who has lived in Pagsanjan all her life, invited us to visit during the summer. I had never been to Pagsanjan Falls before and I was excited to see what this place had in store for a tourist like me. It took about 3 hours to get …
Paga Crocodile Pond
Paga is located in the Upper East Region of Ghana and close to the Burkina Faso Border. The place is well noted for its tourism potential, but the main leisure is the Paga crocodile pond which serves as the totem of the Kasena people of Paga.
How to get to …
Mission City Downtown in Mission, Canada
I stayed at the Mission City downtown area for almost a month, from December 9, 2010 to January 7, 2011. However, I still cannot believe that I had been there that long. Time seemed to pass by rather quickly because of the many things I needed to …
Great Smoky Mountains National Park
The Great Smoky Mountains National Park is a beautiful park that is worth a visit. With is centralized location in the United States, it is within days drive from just about any state.
This park, and the neighboring towns, offers something for everybody. The town of Townsend …
Philadelphia, PEnnsylvania
Anyone who has turned on their television lately may have seen famous actors such as Bill Cosby or Oprah Winfrey - even Kevin Bacon, advocating for Philadelphia, Pennsylvania as a place to visit. By simply driving through Philadelphia, one rather rapidly understands that it is a city that …
Carlsberg sky tower
This was our third trip to Singapore but more like a one day stopover. Since we have been to Singapore, We asked around for the latest attraction and a friend we just met recommended checking out the Carlsberg Sky Tower and giving the Carlsberg float a try too. We …
Jamaica Urban Transit Company (JUTC)
The Jamaica Urban Transit Company or JUTC is the largest bus company in the island of Jamaica. I personally prefer using them whenever I have to take public transportation on some routes and in some places since they then to be more organised than other companies. I find them …
Atlantta, Georgia
My friends and I took a trip down to Atlanta, Georgia last summer, and while there, I experienced something quite different from that of my everyday life.
One thing that really got my attention was how friendly the people were. I live in the state of Maryland. Though it …
South Africa Two Oceans Aquarium
As expected of any tourist, I visited some places when I was in Cape Town. In particular, as I had 2 kids in tow who need to be amused and a husband who did not want to be dragged to the shops, one of the unanimous choices we picked …
Las Ramblas, Barcelona, Spain
I would like to do a review of Las Ramblas, Barcelona’s most famous or should I say infamous promenade. I especially like this part of the city because of the hustle and bustle of people of all-walks of life, local and foreign alike. The promenade is a nice place …
Lugano
A really nice place to visit if you’re nearby is Lugano. Lugano is in the bottom part of the Italian Canton of Switzerland, and in my opinion is one of the most beautiful little towns you can find. There are many little shops and tiny resturants which make the …
Dos Palmas Island Resort & Spa
Dos Palmas Island Resort and Spa is one of the best places in Palawan. It’s a private and isolated place, and great for relaxation. The resort is peaceful and they have preserved the serene beauty of nature. I went there last a few months ago and I’ve been dreaming …
