Brooklyn Bridge: The Veteran Of New York Attractions

Saturday, May 17th, 2008

Although it is just a bridge, the Brooklyn Bridge is as famous as a New York attraction as the London Bridge is in the United Kingdom. The bridge connects Manhattan to Brooklyn. The construction of this bridge spanned years, starting in 1869 and finishing in 1889. On the very first day of its opening, the Brooklyn Bridge was used by around 150000 people. Imagine the number of people who use it now that almost one and a quarter of century have passed. The Brooklyn Bridge is one of those New York attractions of the city which have become its symbol to the world.

Playa Grande Costa Rica hotels

Saturday, February 23rd, 2008

Playa Grande is a part of a national park, the Marino Las Baulas National Park. That is both good as well as bad. It is good because you can see a host of animals without having to venture out much, including the turtles. And it is bad because there are a number of restrictions. No playa grande costa rica hotels are allowed to face the beach, for example. But there is one old hotel that is allowed to retain that structure - Hotel Las Tortugas. Remember that when you are planning to stay here for a few days.

Some Advice

Wednesday, January 9th, 2008

The advice I received: Go. Even the State Department attaché, after my plaintive and persistent questioning, conveyed the impression that if we remained with a reputable company as part of a tour, avoided solo camping and back roads, we should be OK. Last year's advice was similar to the current recommendations: Travel in multi-vehicle african safaris, use main roads and go with a reputable company. That's why, generally loathe to endure the confines of group travel and leery of a predetermined itinerary, I signed on with Micato, limited our vacation to the obvious wonders and "forgot" to mention this adventure to either grandmother.  

Best Wildlife Safaris Experiences

Monday, December 17th, 2007

Some of my best memories of african safari adventure:

•    Sunset over the waterways of the Okavango Delta.•    Playing games you wouldn't be caught dead playing at home, such as charades, around the campfire.•    Listening to the mysterious sounds of the bush while tucked up in your sleeping bag.•    The African night sky.•    Watching a pride of lions strolling Indian-file across a wide plain at dusk.•    Surprising a herd of red lechwe, which flee, leaping meters into the air as they run.•    Arriving at a campsite toilet block at the same time as an elephant, which was immediately granted right of way.•    Using a bush shower.•    Coming across a pod of hippos treading water in the middle of the Zambezi River.
