Where to live in Vancouver
If you want to live right in Vancouver, your rent will probably be fairly high, unless you find a deal. You may want to check out places in New Westminster or Burnaby, as they are still (I think?) considered to be towns on the outskirts (even though they really are just suburbs of Vancouver now). [...]
Philly for One Day
I’d make it a point to wander around Independence Mall area. See the Liberty Bell, Independence Hall, etc. Philly is packed with history and just walking around Independence Hall is a great experience. From there walk through nearby/almost adjacent Society Hill neighborhood. Beautiful old homes (some very narrow), great old neighborhood. From there you can [...]
What to do in Portland
Stay at the Marriott Residence Inn DT Lloyd Center (the River Front is nice as well, however it costs a lot more). Over by the Lloyd Center are many pubs thats worth going. If you like the snow, drive up to Mt. Hood. There are many places along the way… take I84 up the Columbia [...]
What to do in Colorado Springs
- Hike in Garden of the Gods park (picture above) – Visit the Air Force Academy – Visit the ultra luxurious (old money) Broadmoor resort. Worth walking the grounds even if you aren’t staying there. – Take the cog railway up to the top of Pikes Peak. The station is in Manitou Springs, just west [...]
What to do in NYC
The last time I visited NYC I asked all my friends for their suggestions and here’s what they recommended: – Visit the Statue of Liberty. Be warned, there’s a huge line in the lobby as security checks your bags, so try and get there early. It’s a lot of climbing and it’s hot and humid [...]
Mackinac Island, Michigan
I went a few years ago, and to me, it seemed overly cutesy. It’s sort of borderline between outdoorsy and fancy getaway, so it was a bit confusing to me. There were some neat little shops and the boat ride to the island was kind of cool. But one day on the island was plenty [...]
Union Square San Francisco
The only hotel I can recommend is the Westin St. Francis. And that’s only because my sister looked into it. I’ve never stayed there myself. But Union Square isn’t a great place to stay. It’s crowded, traffic is horrible, and the only advantages are that you’re close to the Powell Street BART line, the cable [...]
Sandos Caracol Eco Resort & Spa
The reservation was the best part of the trip. They were more than accommodating with booking our first ever Allen family vacation. There were fourteen of us from 2 years old to 76 years old. We settled on going August 13-17, 2011 to the Sandos Caracol Eco Resort and Spa. Why? I stayed at the [...]
