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 [...]
The American Dream: Miami
Miami is a city with a population of 400 000 inhabitants, in the USA state of Florida, in the southeast side of the United States. Situated near the ocean, the city has a tropical climate, with humid summers and dry winters. The city developed continuously because of the tourist opportunities offered, being one of the [...]
Distinctive Beach Rentals – Ft Myers Beach
Distinctive Beach Rentals, Inc. Wow…where to start…these guys have no business being in the hospitality industry. I had a bad feeling when we first walked in and saw the rules individually placed on every pillow, in every bedroom. It only got worse from there. At one point we had to call the police over to [...]
The Upper Peninsula of Michigan
The Upper Peninsula of Michigan has one of the most unique lifestyles and landscapes in North America. It sits between the 3 Great Lakes, Lake Superior, Lake Michigan, and Lake Huron. It makes up one third of the land mass of Michigan but only holds 3% of it’s population. That is because the Upper Peninsula, [...]
Delaware
Delaware did offer up some good roadside attractions and museums for us by the Sea. Delaware State Police Museum (Dover, Delaware) We’ve been to several police museums on our journeys and the Delaware State Police Museum did not disappoint. We were treated to the usual uniform displays, handgun displays, and continuously running multi-media presentations about [...]
Iowa
Mamie Eisenhower’s Birthplace (Boone, Iowa) Mamie Eisenhower’s Birthplace is an interesting place. I say interesting, because it has a lot of potential to be very engaging, but somehow falls short. The Eisenhowers were revered when Ike was in office and they are still generally held in good esteem by most Americans. Mamie was quite the [...]
Ritz Carlton Bachelor Gulch Residence Club
I loved the Ritz Carlton Bachelor Gulch! I rented a 3BR Residence Club condo through Travel En Vogue this past March. My family and I got 8 free lift tickets every day! The skiing was great, the condos are ski-in, ski-out and the hotel has ski valet/ski concierges there to make everything super easy for [...]
Connecticut
Bristol Clock Museum (Bristol, Connecticut) Tick tock tick tock. . .As we waited for our tour to begin (wandering around the gift shop, what else) we were awed over the ornate clocks in the lobby area. . . and the obnoxious ticking sound. How the employees could function is waaaaaaaay beyond me. Little did we [...]
