The free-to-tour New York Public Library is beautiful, stately, and rivals pricier sites with its gorgeous architecture. And the fact that it played a part in my beloved first Sex and the City movie is just one more extra bonus! New York City is known for expensive attractions, restaurants, and fashion. So it’s a relief […]
After several days of rain, the weather in New York City last Wednesday morning was absolutely gorgeous with sunshine, bold blue skies, a gentle breeze, and brilliantly colored flowers… everywhere! I had heard that tulips were in bloom all over the city and saw some for myself on my cab ride into the city earlier […]
The Don Giovanni Restaurant on west 44th Street in New York City is my favorite type of eatery. It’s small and cute, feels “authentic” and has great food and service. Located between 8th and 9th Avenues just west of Times Square, it’s also one of those places tucked into a dim area where you […]
When I lived in Orlando, Florida, I often drove past WonderWorks and smiled at its crazy exterior — the large building is quite literally upside-down, with guests entering through what appears to be the old roof. It always looked like fun but because WonderWorks bills itself as an “interactive family attraction,” I thought it was […]
Sand, surf, nothing to do but relax. Is there any better way to spend a free day than at the beach? I think not! As mentioned in my previous post, I was sent earlier this month to Orlando, Florida to cover a medical conference. But I tacked on one extra day at the end that […]
The Word Count Blogathon 2013 finally comes to a close after tomorrow. All participants were tasked with blogging every day through the month of June and I’m pleased to report that, despite a family trip, crazy work deadlines, and even a series of international flights with a LOT of missed connections, I made it! As […]
Writing on Wednesday about TripAdvisor’s awards for the top U.S. theme parks of 2013 made me think about roller coasters — but then almost everything does! I’ve loved these silly things since I was around 5 or 6 years old. That’s when two of my aunts sneaked me onto several scary rides and coasters with […]
Guest Post from World Traveler, Sandy Conner: While millions of folks visit Paris, France every year and take in the sights, sounds, smells and tastes of this remarkable city, The City of Light, most stay in hotels and rarely venture into a supermarket (supermarche), a bakery (boulangerie or patisserie) or interact with the people of […]
Today, TripAdvisor released the top winners of its 2013 Travelers’ Choice Attractions awards, which were based on online reviews and opinions from tourists all over the world. The lists include the Top US Landmarks, World Landmarks, US and World Parks, US Museums, and US Amusement and Water Parks. I have to say, I’m kind of […]
Because of all the positive comments and emails and tweets I received about yesterday’s review of the Sedgwick County Zoo in Wichita, Kansas, I decided to change up today’s edition of Photo Fun Friday. Instead of pics, here are a few fun video clips from the zoo’s staff. Enjoy! A tiger keeping cool in his […]
