Perth Airport Transfer
I read some negatives about Perth Airport especially for its immigration long queue. To my mind, the immigration is normal, but I am writing about transport problem faced by tourist visitors those expect nobody to pick them up.
I, my wife and my son landed in Perth airport from Bali. …
Walltown Quarry, Northumberland, United Kingdom
Located on the remarkable Roman built, Hadrian’s Wall, Walltown Quarry is an ideal spot for a walk along the famous Roman wall or for a pleasant day in the Northumberland countryside.
Hadrian’s Wall runs for 73 miles across northern England. The construction of this amazing wall started in AD …
Pylon Look-out, Sydney, Australia
One day in February 2012, I visited a kind of museum housed in one of the four pylons of Sydney Harbour Bridge. I thought that it was a small one. I was quite surprised that the museum is sufficiently large to accommodate a number of departments within one single …
Western Australian Museum
In February 2012 I visited Western Australian Museum as a part of my one day tour in Perth. It is accommodated in an old but well-maintained building in James St. In the lobby I saw nothing than a reception desk and a faked normal-scaled dinosaur. As the admission fee …
Blue Mountain Australia
Many people those have been to Sydney advised me to pay a visit to Blue Mountain for its beautiful scenery. One day in February 2012 I, my wife and my son had an opportunity to go there. From Sydney Central railway station we took the 9:09 am train to …
Sydney Tower
This tower is shown wherever you are in the CBD area. However it is not that easy to find the entrance as the tower is integrated to a shopping centre building and there are many other similar buildings in the area. The aforementioned shopping centre is in Westfield building. …
Biltmore House and Gardens in Asheville, North Carolina
It’s difficult not to praise this multifaceted attraction because there is something for everyone here. Whether guests want to appreciate America’s largest house, visit its expansive, well-manicured gardens, taste some local wines or go horseback riding, it’s all possible at Biltmore.
There are two major drawbacks to Biltmore that I …
Sydney Aquarium, Australia
The location of Sydney Aquarium is in Darling Harbour about seven minutes westward on foot from Town Hall railway station and around 10 minutes from Sydney Tower. The admission fee is 35 Australian dollars (38.50 US dollars) per person, but only 55 dollars if you purchase tickets for both …
Cirque Du Soleil, Downtown Disney, WDW
I worked at Disney World for years and never once did I go see La Nouba, Cirque Du Soleil’s show at Disney’s Downtown Westside. I remember looking at the huge white building so many times, wondering what the show was like, was it any good? A lot of things …
Chinese Garden of Friendship, Sydney, Australia
It is quite a unique experience to visit Chinese Garden in Australia. I went there with my wife and my son. The admission fee was only 6 Australian dollars (less than 7 US dollars) per person. Inside we found a large garden with a pretty large lake in the …
Power House Museum, Sydney, Australia
This museum utilizes a building used to be the power house for the city trams. It consists of three levels, one ground floor and two levels underneath. The main displays are a steam engine, a locomotive, other mechanical transport systems, and electronic-based components and systems used to explain the …
St. Augustine, Florida
I thought it was strange that I had been born and raised in Florida, but I had never visited the Nation’s oldest city. St Augustine is the nation’s oldest city and it’s only a few hours from where I live. So, I asked my husband if we could spend …
Hollywood Star Cars Museum, Gatlinburg, TN
After walking 5 miles up and down a steep path to a beautiful waterfall in the middle of the Smokey Mountains National Park, when I got back to my hotel in Gatlinburg, all I wanted to do was put my feet in ice water and relax. But my husband …
Zoo Miami, Miami Florida
I have always loved to visit zoos. More so now, that I can show the animals to my son. He gets to learn about them and see them in person. He wasn’t really interested in touching them, thou. Zoo Miami, or MetroZoo, Miami Zoo, whatever they’re calling it now …
Old Town Portrait Shop, Kissimmee, Florida
One of the few places that I always seem to visit when I travel to Orlando, is Old Town. Yes, there are tons of tourist shopping areas in Kissimmee and Orlando, but Old Town has always been something special to me. Don’t know why, but it always has. And …
Skycoaster, Kissimmee, Florida
I lived in Kissimmee while working at Walt Disney World and visited the surrounding areas countless times while playing tourist when I lived elsewhere, so I have seen the Skycoaster at Old Town from a distance and up-close while walking through Old Town, but I had never been on …
International Spy Museum in Washington DC
My boyfriend and I, both in our mid twenties, recently visited Washington DC. During our quest to find interesting things to do on our vacation, we came across the International Spy Museum. Both of us have an interest in spy technology so we thought this would be …
Mae Sai Thailand and border crossing to Burma
Many visitors to Thailand make a point of spending some time in the north of the country, attracted by the beautiful natural surroundings of forests, mountains treks and hill tribe villages. Most visitors, however, are unaware of another interesting opportunity available that enables you to cross over from Thailand …
World Trade Center Complex, New York City
I never got to travel much as a child, so when I became an adult, I wanted to go everywhere I could. And I had always wanted to see the World Trade Center buildings. I remember I was working at Disney World when September 11th happened. I was saddened …
Gold Coast Railroad Museum, Miami Florida
I have been to the Metro Zoo, Miami Zoo, or Zoo Miami (whatever you want to call it now as it’s name has changed several times) so many times over the years, but I never knew that there was a Railroad Museum, The Gold Coast Railroad Museum, literally on …
The Battle of Britain Memorial
The National Memorial to the Few
The Battle of Britain Memorial is located on the White Cliffs between Folkestone and Dover in Kent. The actual location is the village of Capel-le-Ferne. I live close to the memorial and often walk around the site with my dog, the location is …
Battery Park, NYC
I didn’t get to travel to New York City much as a child, so when I was finally able to travel, it was sadly right after September 11, 2001. Right after a tragic event to our country. I had never had the chance to see the World Trade Center …
Marietta Square
If you are ever in the Marietta area in Georgia, add Marietta Square to your must visit list. Marietta is not a tourist town, so Marietta Square is the popular place to visit when you visit Marietta.
The Marietta Square is a cute little area that is …
Amtrack to New York City
While airplanes are some of the quickest and easiest ways to travel, I still like taking the train. I have been on Amtrack many times and not all of them are pleasant, fun, or quick, but there are the few times that stick out in my mind and it …
Gatlinburg: A Tourist Town of the Smokey Mountains
I had never been to the Smokey Mountains before, so I had no idea of where to stay. Thankfully, my husband is an old pro when it comes to lodging for hiking the Smokey Mountains. So he knew where we should go and where we should stay. We …
Piedmont Park in Atlanta
Piedmont Park is a gem for midtown Atlanta. Midtown Atlanta is full of tall buildings, cars and street signs so to have a large park in the middle is a true gem.
Piedmont Park is a beautifully landscaped park nestled among the busyness of the city. …
Las Vegas Club Crawl in Las Vegas, Nevada
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 …
Polynesian Cultural Center
I did not know what to expect from the the Polynesian Cultural Center, but I was very interested in the culture. The Cultural Center is not a far drive from Honolulu and is easy to find. It is mainly outdoors so be prepared to be outdoors in …
Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield Park
Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield Park is one of my favorite places to be. It is only minutes away from Barrett Parkway, which is a busy part of Kennesaw, but enough distance that you feel like you are out of the city. I can spend hours at …
The New Acropolis Museum, Athens, Greece
I have recently visited the New Acropolis Museum in Athens and I can say that I loved it (I am a bit of history geek, I won’t hide it). The museum lies just next to the Acropolis metro station so it is really easy to reach. I recommend, however, …
Ballybunion, Ireland
On the southwestern shore of the Green Isle, there is a small town named Ballybunion. It is the typical Irish village, yet is also has a certain picturesque quality which is quite rare. Ballybunion is best known for its golfing facilities and …
Cades Cove, Smokey Mountains
There are so many trails, exhibits, and places that I wanted to visit on my trip to the Great Smokey Mountains. When I was informed that was where we were going for our vacation, I read up on the places and things that must be seen. Plenty much most …
Laurel Falls, Smokey Mountains National Park
Having never climbed a mountain before, I was really excited about experiencing the Smokey Mountain National park. My husband traveled much of it as a child and wanted me to see it, while we were still young enough to make the treks. I was looking forward to the majesties …
Abrams Falls, Smokey Mountains National Park
When it comes to the Smokey Mountains National Park, it is a very beautiful place. Yet, sometimes in the most beautiful places on Earth, it doesn’t feel like a vacation. Yes, I was in awe at the beauty of the park and nature in its truest form, but sometimes …
Newark Airport
I recently had the misfortune to spend several hours in a layover in Newark airport. In the future, I will do everything I can to avoid spending any time here whatsoever.
On my first layover, I was stuck here for several hours, and tried to find some free wifi with …
Tinuy-an Falls
I must have been one of the chosen few. I kept telling this line to some friends since not anyone can travel for free like me. I owe this privilege to my job.
And one privileges is to see the Tinuy-an Falls. The falls is located 15 kilometers away from …
Enchanted River
I lead my group to go to Enchanted River as I noticed the signboard on the roadside. We already traveled around two hundred eighty kilometers since six in the morning but the thought of having a side trip to this Enchanted River perked up a boring trip. It was …
Toba Lake
Toba Lake, in North Sumatera, is very famous for there is an island in the center of the lake, and there is a smaller lake in the center of the island. When I had an occasion to visit Medan (the capital city of North Sumatera) in a group of …
Orvieto Italy
On our Italy trip we decided to stop in this little town. Even from a far it is evident that this city is special. The whole city is built on a hill plateau and from far it looks like it would be one magnificent castle. Quite a site for …
Colosseum, Rome
We were in Rome for our honeymoon and, on our first evening we had gone out in the evening warmth a) to find something to eat and b) to have a wander and get our bearings.
We were rambling aimlessly down twisty alley ways and up unexpected steps when suddenly …
Intercape Manliner Long Distance Bus Service
To be really honest, the only reason I used a bus to travel from Cape Town to Upington was purely for the experience as I really prefer driving, but not flying because I don’t get to see the beauty of this country traveling above the clouds.
Since I am not …
Pretoria Zoological Gardens
When my cousin suggested I take my girlfriend to the zoo to celebrate her birthday in a nice, quiet and intimate way, I though it was a stupid idea at first but at this point in time, after the visit to the zoo, I can gladly say I am …
Las Vegas Eiffel Tower
It is said that you can go around the world in Vegas and that certainly seems the case as one drives down the Strip and sees the skyline of New York, the pyramids of Egypt, and finally the Eiffel Tower. Although only half the size of the original Eiffel …
Cape Town Tour of Robben Island
Since September is declared Heritage month in South Africa and I found myself in Cape Town with a few coins to spare, I decided to visit one of the most talked about world heritage sites, the Robben Island, were the great Nelson Mandela was once held prisoner of politics.

Horsetooth Reservoir - Colorado
On some vacations, it’s difficult to find enough cheap things to do. However in Fort Collins, CO. while on a vacation with my family, one of the most exciting and cheapest things we did was go to the Horsetooth Reservoir. For an entrance fee of only $6, you could …
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.

Leavenworth, Washington and Bavarian Life
If your travels take you through Washington state in the north west, you must take time to visit and enjoy Leavenworth, Washington. It is located in the central part of the state and is based on the life traditions of a Bavarian village. You will enjoy yourself so much …
Boston Minuteman Campground
If you’re ever looking for a place to pitch your tent the Boston Minuteman Campground in Massachusetts would be a nice place to do so. I camp a lot, and this struck me as more of a classic campground with dirt campsites and wooden picnic tables in the middle …
Hickory Grove Road in Starkville, MS
I try to avoid traveling along this road when possible. It’s located somewhat outside the town of Starkville. You can take this route when traveling from Starkville, MS to Columbus but I wouldn’t recommend it. It’s located just off of the west ended of Highway 82 …
