Travel Reviews
Auckland Zoological Park
The Auckland Zoo is a little out of the city and easy to get to. I caught a bus there and it only took me fifteen minutes from the city.
The first thing about the zoo is it is a bit pricey for what you are paying for. …
Manoa Falls Trail, Oahu, HI
While visiting the beautiful island of Oahu, Hawaii, we spent an afternoon hiking up to Manoa Falls. This hike is such a beautiful scenic hike and it’s only about a mile long so it’s really not bad at all. There is so much lush foliage and scenery …
Blackwater Falls State Park, WV
Blackwater Falls State Park is a beautiful travel location in West Virginia. The falls are especially beautiful in spring when it’s rainy. I don’t suggest going in the late summer. Because of the heat and dry weather, there is very little water in the river and the falls are …

Tropicana Casino in Atlantic City, NJ
As an Atlantic City go-er, I must say the Tropicana is my favorite casino of them all. Not just for the gambling, but for the entertainment and excellent marketplace.
Not too many years ago, they redid their marketplace featuring stores like cache, white house black market, a cute little …
Palais Grand Ducal (Grand Ducal Palace), Luxembourg
I have been meaning to visit this Palace since ages but never got the chance because for the past four summers, I have not been in the country. When we had lunch at the Palais de Chine restaurant which was just beside the Grand Ducal Palace last Sunday, I …
Mattancherry Palace
I had been to Mattancherry Palace with my family about 6 months back. I heard about this palace from one of my cousin who was residing at Cochin and we didn’t want to miss the chance of giving it a visit.
I could tell the glory of the palace …
Long Island Beach, New Jersey
I visited New Jersey for a week in Manahawkin, which is about a ten minute drive from Long Beach Island. I was there in the late summer/early Autumn, and was told that the beaches were either extremely packed, or dead as a doornail in the off season.
…
Tom Sawyer’s Island, Frontier Land, Walt Disney World, FL
One of the attractions at Walt Disney World’s Magic Kingdom that I honestly haven’t visited very often is that of “Tom Sawyer’s Island”. I honestly haven’t been over to it since my kids were young so we’re talking probably 12 years or more.
The only reason I ever ventured …
Marbuena Island
Around last year, my cousins came home after a long time not seeing each other so they decided to treat everybody to a two-day beach outing in Marbuena Island Resort.
Marbuena Island Resort is a private island owned by a doctor and a great place for a weekend get-away …
Mount Trashmore Park
Mount Trashmore Park is a great place to visit if you happen to be in the area and want someplace to picnic or relax outside away from the beach and all its noisiness for awhile. Hours are from 7:30 a.m. until the sun goes down.
The huge “mountain” this …
Wyre Forest, England
The Wyre Forest is one of my very favourite places to visit in England, and I think it is rather a shame that it is not better known. It is made up of six thousand acres of woodland straddling the border between Worcestershire and Shropshire, about 20 miles west …
Guinness Storehouse Tour, Dublin, Ireland
Guinness Storehouse Tour
Everyone said we had to see tour the Guinness Storehouse and after checking into our hostel in Temple Bar (the tourist and nightlife hot spot) we decided to walk to St. James Gate. It was our first day in Dublin, it was raining (of course) and …
Pergamon Museum in Berlin
Located on Museum Island, Pergamon Museum offers the largest, most visually astounding exhibitions on the planet. Seriously, I’m talking HUGE here. Even the museum’s building is monumental, not to mention what’s inside of it. An adult ticket is 10 EUR, which is valid for most of the museums located …
Boracay
The first time I had visited Boracay, it was a lost paradise. The locals were very accommodating and they all had smiles on their faces. Probably because I am Caucasian and they think I have a lot of money to spend. Hotels were sparse and we had to live in …
Galeri Alon
As an indonesian, it’s common to see parents are taking their children abroad during long school holidays, often very far away, e.g to see Petronas, Disneyland, or even Eiffel tower. They are more familiar with such places than local ones, such as Jogja, Bali, or Lake Toba.
From my visit …

Holiday World Tours Limited

South Australia Adelaide Hills
I have an aunt, on my mom’s side, who has a home in Adelaide, South Australia. Every year, she would invite the whole of my family to come to her home in South Australia. So, last year on the month of October, I went with my mom …
Evesham, England
Evesham is a market town in south eastern Worcestershire in the Midlands of England. It is a place I know quite well, and a town I think is rather unjustly neglected by the tourist guides. This is no doubt because it lies on the northern edge of the Cotswold …
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 …
Kyrenia, Cyprus
One of the first things I would recommend to anyone when going to Cyprus is to try any local cuisine, it may look disgusting but I promise you its some of the best food I’ve had.
I stayed in a village just outside of Kyrenia called Ozankoy, just south of …
Rietvlei Dam Game Reserve and Holiday Resort
A quiet Sunday afternoon with a couple of friends at the Rietvlei Nature Reserve was one of the best times of my life, ever and the game drive within the confines of Mazda 2 private vehicle was quite an experience.

Silver Trail Yukon Canada
Once I traveled through gorgeous British Columbia it didn’t take much for my travel companion to convince me to travel into the unaffected beauty and wilderness of the Yukon. The area due north of British Columbia is absolutely breath-taking and should not be missed.
In order to give you a …

One afternoon in June I drove my husband to work so I could have the car to take my kids to Frozen Head State Park. We got there about 8:00 am. We stopped by the ranger station to get information about the trails before heading out. We decided to …
Amtrak (Pittsburgh to Chicago)
I found it to be an enjoyable (and cheap) trip from Pittsburgh to Chicago by Amtrak coach class. The fare was $77 round trip. The check in process was faster than an airline, and very easy. On board, they have a lot more room in their cabins than any …
Loskop Dam Holiday Resort and Nature Reserve
These type of places that double up as holiday makers’ destinations with a touch of some up close wildlife experiences, are right up there with my favorites and Loskop Dam is definitely no different.
I went to Loskop Dam as part of a huge family weekend away, and was very …

Greyhound Bus Line
Since Greyhound is basically the only bus line these days, some of us have been stuck having to ride them. I was one of the unfortunate ones a few years back. After the trip I decided I’d never take one again.
First off, if you have a lay over in …

This place is an excellent attraction for those who are healthy and ready for a good climb. I traveled to Florence, Italy with a friend and found this treasure in a brochure at our hotel. The brochure states that there are 434 steps to get to the top of …
San Diego Zoo
The San Diego Zoo in California is a great place for families, singles, couples or just about anyone who loves animals! The lay-out is a little difficult to navigate, but it can be a fun place to spend the day.
First, if you’re going there on the weekend, get there as …
The Teleferico, Quito, Ecuador
As someone who spent years living in the mountains in Colorado skiing, hiking, and enjoying the outdoors I’m a big fan of high places. Quito, Ecuador is a perfect blend for me of city life and mountain scenery. One attraction that is a favorite of mine is …
Lugano
Lugano is one of my personal favorite places to go for a quick weekend to get away from the stress of everyday life.
Obviously in order to get in (from anywhere else in Europe) you will need at least an I.D. card or a passport.
Lugano is a really beautiful city …
Prague travel
When you go from Vienna to Prague the difference hits you like a hammer.
Prague is more crowded and more colorful than you can possibly dream especially coming from a very peaceful and royal like city.
Behind the obvious appearances Prague is hiding a various number and types of treasure.
Our accommodation …
Santa’s Village, Jefferson, NH
Nestled in the White Mountain foothills of Jefferson, NH, is a place where Santa and his Elves come alive even in the middle of summer!
