6 Best Spots and Islands in the US for Sailing

written by Bree

^6 Best Spots and Islands in the US for Sailing : By the Bay

There are many Islands in the US, both named and unnamed. It probably won’t be enough for a simple citizen like me (and you) to go hopping on each of them within this lifetime. One, it will cost a lot and yes, one needs all the time in their hands to visit each one of them. Lucky would be Charles A Veley and Bill Altaffer and some others who have traveled most of the world. I bet they have been to almost if not all the islands in the US.

US islands have become popular tourist destinations and most visited would be Hawaii, Texas, Florida, Washington, Rhode Islands, even San Francisco Bay, and South Carolina. These destinations are also great if you love the water, you can sail or boat to your heart’s content or just be that…near the water, swim, watch the waves while contemplating on the beauty of life.

8 Best Spots in Las Vegas for the Less Adventurous…Not!

written by Mae

Please take extra precaution when travelling.

It’s not unusual that hearsay, television shows and movies greatly influence how one perceives or sees things. Las Vegas is one of the many cities that has fallen victim to this. Sadly, there are misconceptions flared by the media that have hindered many to book a trip to this fabulous city…which is as normal as your regular state; schools, playgrounds, parks, hospitals, and everything that makes every metropolitan function are available.

No, it’s not only gambling or eating all day or being vain when you visit Sin city – which admittedly, would be the reasons that it has been christened such. The city promises fun not limited to the same card games you play online like blackjack, poker, and solitaire (which was discontinued) along with slots, there’s indoor kart racing, virtual reality arena, a heavy equipment playground, and escape game rooms too. You can enjoy buffets of many different cuisines at different times of the day and also do high-end to day by day shopping.

There are many attractions that kids and kids at heart would both enjoy. You can even go around in a limousine if you fancy, or any other car that you like. If you ever find yourself bound to a trip to the Sin city, make sure that you have readied yourself for a list of cool events to engage in and things to do and see.

Halifax

A Breath Of Fresh Air Welcomes You At Halifax!

written by Mae

Although Montreal is a wonderful city, I love having my time in Halifax. I live in Montreal; and I am back from a three week vacation in Halifax. It’s not like I don’t love Montreal, but, 3 weeks in Halifax means doing a lot many things and simply taking it easy. Halifax’s weather is also classified as humid continental like that of the Montreal weather. The summers are humid, but life is much more fun in Halifax as it revolves around the sea.

So, if you’re planning to take a trip to Halifax, let me tell you, it’s going to be fun. Rich in culture and history, Halifax is best enjoyed on foot. Simply park your car, and walk into any museum, bar or restaurant to make the most of your time there. There’s breathtaking beauty and exciting events happening at every corner of the city. All you need to do is explore them as you walk around.

There’s more to the city than just the sea. Just go out and let the coastal energy guide you through the city. What better way to start exploring the city than visiting the Eastern Coast, an ideal destination for adventure freaks.

Let your tour begin with Peggy’s Cove. It’s the most authentic fishing village in Nova Scotia. Check out the very popular lighthouse; also visit the rugged, sea-sculpted, granite shores and have fun.

Peggy’s Cove

The Public Garden is one authentic lush Victorian garden where you could escape to.

Try visiting the Citadel Hill. It is one of the most visited historic sites in Canada. You’ll have an amazing time atop with fantastic views.

Sin City Virgin: What to do in Vegas for the First Time

written by Mae

Las Vegas is the ultimate Sin City and making a visit to this amazing place requires early planning. This applies to anyone regardless of whether it is the first or a subsequent visit. Being a first timer may be a little harder but it does not mean that an individual will not have a wonderful time.

Ideally, the most important thing to remember is that planning, which involves putting up an estimated budget, making reservations and knowing what to expect once you arrive into the city, requires time and research. This is because the city is full of activities that accommodate any type of individual, and doing all of them in one visit is almost impossible.

Here are some tips for a Sin City Virgin:

Making that trip to the Sin City obviously indicates that you have already made plans on where to stay for the duration that you will be there and have someone who can show you around; either a friend or a tour guide. Well the idea is to make the most of your time.

The Palazzo, Las Vegas

written by Mae

Are you the type who enjoy online games, or RPGs, tactical games or perhaps farming or kingdom expansion? Or do you fancy a grand vacation, fun with friends or shopping and eating or playing for money? If you’re the former type then by all means enjoy being a homebuddy and be content with yourself, your computer and some food delivery too.

If you’re the latter, head to Las Vegas and have fun the way you always wanted. The Las Vegas Strip, an approximately 4.2-mile (6.8 km) stretch of Las Vegas Boulevard South in Clark County, Nevada, is where the happenings that you fancy mostly are.

The Palazzo, tallest building in Nevada (as Fontainebleau construction is put to a halt but it is actually taller).

It’s spring…the perfect time to travel and photograph the beauty of nature as you one goes city-hopping, sight-seeing. Unfortunately, here we are stuck because there’s school. ^_^ So for those of you who can, please take this time to visit Deer Creek Canyon. It’s of course because you’re heading to the Grand Canyon so hike from the North Rim to there and down. ^_^It’s like a bonus before finally getting to the big reward.
