Sightseeing In New York

“I am going to New York City (NYC)!” How I wish I could shout out loud and board the plane to New York. New York is such a wonderful place to visit. My brother in law has been there for about ten years and when he returned, he talks a lot about New York.

What is the best way to see NYC Attractions? How about a tour around town on a double-decker bus where you can hop on and hop off anytime within 24 hours with just a single fee? Sounds cool, right? This is what my husband and I would prefer rather than following the pre-organized tours that require us to rush the whole day.

For people who like shopping, Woodbury Common Premium Outlets Day Trip that brings you to 220 designer and brand name outlet stores and enables you to save while you shop would be perfect.

Cruise and helicopter ride would be on my list if I were to bring my children with me. They would definitely love those rides.

These tour packages are among many more tour packages that can be booked online at Citysightsny.com, a site that provides services which includes individual airport transfer, motorcoach, minibus and van charter services, escorted tours, group tour services as well as meetings and convention services at a reasonable price.

If you are visiting New York, make sure you visit citysightsny.com first to choose your desired tour package and for those who like broadway and off broadway shows and musicals, you can even purchase theatre tickets before you even step into New York City.

Just when can I visit New York?

A Vacation Without The Children

Holiday is over and it is time for the children to return to school. Do you like holidays or school days better? Holiday is a time to travel and to relax. For me, holidays would mean more time with my children and less time for myself.


Have you gone on a vacation without the kids? Frankly speaking, I have not! My parents and my siblings have just returned from their trip to Bali, Indonesia. The first thing my father said to me when they stepped into my house is that: “You should go for a tour with your hubby and leave the kids with us.” Finally, somebody volunteer to take care of the kids. Should we go for a tour, just the two of us?


The thought of it makes me excited. If my parents nod their heads, there are many places I wish to visit. How about a Hawaii vacation? The beaches, the warmth of the people, the Hawaiian cuisine and the Hawaiian dance are pictures dancing in my mind now. If I were to visit Hawaii, I would not want to miss Maui and Kauai, the two beautiful islands nobody could resist.


Should I book one of those Maui vacation rentals and Kauai vacation rentals? School has just started and it is really impossible to go for a vacation now. So, all I can do now is keep dreaming and hoping that one day, my dream will come true.

A Trip To Australia

My sister is currently working in Australia and she has been urging me to bring my parents over to Australia for a vacation. We are still searching for the right time.

Since the kids would be tagging along, we may not want to miss Gold Coast and Surfers Paradise. Gold Coast is known as Australia’s theme park capital offering a great variety of exciting rides and wild life experience whereas Surfers Paradise is a popular holiday destination with theme parks, family attractions and beaches for the whole family. Selecting the most suitable hotel from the list of hotels in Gold Coast and hotels in Surfers Paradise is definitely an important task as there are so many things to see and do that we do not wish to spend time traveling instead of enjoying ourselves.

What if I prefer a more relaxed vacation away from all the crowds and the rush? Adelaide would be a nice place. It would be a different experience all together as my children would learn to be calmer when they get in touch with nature and they can even pick up a new skill – waterskiing! There are so many hotels in Adelaide that I may choose from but I would definitely prefer one which gives us the feel of calmness.

How can I miss Perth if I am going to Australia? It would be wonderful to stroll along the beaches, to try the food and wine and to cultivate my husband’s patience through fishing. So, looking for Perth hotels will be on my to-do list too if I am serious about going to Perth.

There are so many places to visit and so many things to see and do. I really do not know how to choose. Oh, I just wish I have more time to visit all these places.

To Bali They Go

I’m in a holiday mood. Are you? Initially, when my sister planned to take my parents and my brother for a vacation, I was very eager to join them. After much consideration, I stepped back as I think with the children around, my parents and my sister would become baby sitters instead of enjoying themselves.


So, decisions have been made for them to go to Bali, Indonesia, to be indulged in spas and massage. They have been cracking their head on itinerary as this trip is a free and easy tour package. How nice it would be if there is a trip planner to guide them through all this planning. With a trip planner, they would be able to plan a wonderful trip that suits their taste.


Yes, I think they need a trip planner! My sister would be happy upon hearing this and that’s just what I am going to do – to inform my sister about this.

Hotel Reservations



It’s holiday again! Where are you planning to bring your children? I am cracking my head now. There are lots of places that the children have not been to and there are lots of places that I think they should visit. Singapore would be a nice place!


I was surfing the internet to search for a hotel and came across Hotel Reservations. So, I browse through and thought this website actually solves all my problems of searching for a hotel one by one. With just a click of the mouse, you can actually search for a hotel in any country in the world.


The online booking system is really simple. When you type in the destination, a list of hotels with its rating will appear. The description of the hotels with its facilities can also be found. It’s really easy to select the hotel of your dream that suits your taste!


What happens if you don’t like to stay in a hotel? Don’t worry, through Hotel Reservations, you can find motels, resorts as well as bed and breakfast (B&B). On top of that, there is Vacation Rental to aid your search.


What I find interesting is the competitive price where there’s a 70% discount for online bookings and special internet rate when you make an upfront payment with your credit card. If you are going for a long vacation, be sure to take advantage of the $100 rebate for a twelve night booking. That’s a lot of savings, don’t you agree? Savings means more to spend during your vacation. Isn’t that wonderful?


There’s also a detailed FAQ page that answers most of your questions. After reading this, I think I am ready to book my hotel room through Hotel Reservations and enjoy my trip to Singapore with my husband and children.


Happy holidays to everybody.

Extraordinary Experience in Paris

I have always wanted to visit Paris. If our dream of sending our children over to London for tertiary education comes true, I would have a reason to fly over to London and engage myself in Europe tour and Paris would be a definite destination for me to visit.


How nice it would be if I can really get to know the people in Paris, their lifestyle and their culture better. Staying in a hotel and following the tour group would not bring about the feel of Paris. With Paris Bed and Breakfast, I get to see how Parisians live their life, to interact with them and get some suggestions on places of interest which are worth visiting as well as where to dine. What about starting my day with French breakfast in a relaxing way? I have never liked to rush during tours. B&B Paris would be the perfect choice for me.


I just can’t wait to step into Paris and have an extraordinary experience.

Europe Tour




Sabinem asked me why we desire to send our children to London for tertiary education. Well, both hubby and I thought it would be a different experience for our children to be away from us. They gain exposure, they see different things and they mature faster when they have to be independent.


Before they go over, we would love to survey the place. So, it means a Europe tour for us!


As hubby has been to London before, it would be a good idea if we get about in London in a car, to explore the place ourselves at our own pace and to look for a hotel from the range of hotels in London.


There are so many places that I wish to visit such as Paris, Berlin and Barcelona. I wish my children will get the same opportunity when they study there. Finding hotels in Paris, hotels in Berlin and hotels in Barcelona would not be difficult as hubby has been on a Europe tour when he was studying there. A free tour guide! How about that?
