The big city of New York had always been on my list of places to go. As seen in the movies, the tall buildings and the thousands of people seem to make it all the more inviting! Traveling here with ninety-four other people was ecstatic! We saw many places and I would highly recommend to anyone who would like a fun place to visit, to go here.
Ninety-five people made up my band and choir. We decided to venture to New York to tour this past June. However, staying together in the “Big Apple” was kind of difficult. Walking together with traffic in New York City was very interesting. Blocks are not the same distance as a block in any suburban city, that’s for sure. The group tended to disperse throughout the blocks because of traffic. Thankfully, we had one of our tallest band members lead the group with an umbrella raised above his six-foot-six body! This worked wonderfully!
There is an abundant supply of tourist attractions in New York. We were only there for four days, and we went to as many as we could. Times Square is a must see. So many different things are happening at once there! My first reaction to when I saw Times Square was, how much is that electrical bill every month? There are so many lights you don’t know what to look at first. This place is flooded with people on the streets, sidewalks, and in the stores.
One of my favorite places we spent time at was the 9/11 memorial site. This sight, even though so many people lost their lives and loved ones, it was beautiful and peaceful. Where the two towers once stood was a breath-taking view. Two baths of rushing waterfalls filled two holes in the ground the same sizes as the original towers. Surrounding this open area, there was all the names of people who lost their lives in the devastating day. Visiting this place changed my whole perspective of how great of an impact this day was to so many different families. I felt their pain and anger that day. One thing that really surprised me was the names with ‘unborn child’ attached to them. This tore me apart inside. Now going to this memorial site, I have a better understanding of the impact that was spread throughout the nation on this day.
The Trinity Church in New York was also one of my favorite places we got to visit, because I like the movie National Treasure. This was actually where a part of National Treasure was filmed. The church itself was glorious! There were tons of painted glass windows and also many organs in the front. This was a fun place to say I have now been too! All of these places were only the beginning of a very long list of places we also visited like Elis Island, Empire State building ,the Intrepid Ship where we saw the space shuttle that had just returned, China Town, Little Italy, and many more.
Telling people about New York is very entertaining for me because it brings me back there. New York now is now one my top states I have been to. I would highly encourage anyone who is looking for a great getaway to check-out New York and all the sights to be seen while they are there, just make sure you bring a tall guy with an umbrella and you will never get lost!

Great advise and said in very simple language in order for a range of readers to process. I must add that the symptoms and solutions are equally as important in adults who suffer from abdominal illness.
the family market is indeed very important and very lucrative. Focosing on the Family market is what Wal-Mart made big.
Thank you for posting this comparison. I've been looking for something like this but so far I've found only comparisons of individual plans not family ones. This will help me a lot while I'm budgeting for next year's gap holidays.
This place is awesome. We have delivered baby equipment rentals there a couple times and love it. It seems to work great for families traveling with young kids because the age range is usually between 2-8 years old when we deliver. Great beach and location. Thumbs up!
I am planning for a visit of Columbia …. Lets see When i wills be able to visit the same scene..
Orlando, is a perfect place for the kids to explore about Disneyland. A good feature post.
Love your brother in law! Would love to drive cross country with him and his brood!
Another great travel search engine is http://www.travelmarket.com/ it gives you a list of the cheapest flights and hotels. Try it and see what you think.
Good tips all – they sure beat my brother-in-laws advice for dealing with kids on long haul drives, which was, "Tie em to the roof!"
I too would be interested in viewing a list of apartments for the budget traveler.
Great article. I always, and still believe, if you feed a cold you will starve the fever.
I through my own experience, would advise against air travel with any ear, throat or nose infections. It is difficult to move through the change of air pressure, without adding a cold to it.
I have been deeply admired by your blog and its posts. I am really glad to read it and being able to share my thoughts on it. I want to use this opportunity to say that I really love this blog. It is an amazing resource of information for my working. Thank you so much.
It's a shame more airports don't take steps to make travel for families more convenient and fun. I'm sure they are focused on the core income stream of business travelers, which makes sense. Still, why not try and appeal to both?

That place totally awesome. A perfect place for family vacation. That waterfall really make me jealous. It shall be refreshing to soak up under that waterfall. The beach also really charming, I wonder how much it cost to go there?
I want to go their. Really that is a great place.
The post is very nicely written and it contains many useful facts. I am happy to find your distinguished way of writing the post. Now you make it easy for me to understand and implement. Thanks for sharing with us.
I like the way of your writing.!
You are so right Banfos, thanks for the heads up. Mystic CT is quite remarkable and has much to see besides the aquarium. We have made the change.
Thank you for such a fantastic blog. Where else could anyone get that kind of info written in such a perfect way? I have a presentation that I am presently working on, and I have been on the look out for such information.
Mystic Seaport is a world-renowned maritime history museum. It is not an aquarium as stated in your article.
Jennifer:
There are enough fun activities for the whole family to spend either as a day trip or overnight.
I wish I could have went to the play lab – sounds like Fisher Price is really doing a great job of keeping up with today's trends – and of course smart kids! Great update!
Wow…cannot wait to have a visit there!
Well, I think kids can enjoy some special joys there….
hey this is a great source for my cousin…..
How long would you allow for this excursion? It sounds like a fun side trip while visiting San Diego.
thanks for the <a href="http://ecoblublog.com/2011/02/10/ecotourism-green-vacations">eco vacation</a> ideas. don't know if i'll be able to afford overseas yet but always good to know the options 🙂
Gosh, I’ve been looking about this specific topic for about an hour, glad i found it in your website!
It is bound to be more scenic than the A1,
Nice post,
Well, I love your post. Thanks to create this article.
Really? That idea sounds pretty amazing….
Wow..I really cannot wait to make a trip to Italy…sounds very great!
hey thanx for the top 10 resorts…I will Surely look forward during my last visit.
When you mentioned "flashes" that people were starting to see, I first thought that you were gonna say that you were experiencing the northern lights! But what amazing "flashes" you did see! The whales are one of my favorite parts of Alaska.
Nice points but my baby is too much stubborn.
You gave great points here. I found nearly all people agree with your blog.
Just wanted to drop a comment and say I am new to your blog and really like what I am reading. Thanks for the great content. Look forward to coming back for more.
Holidays are managed mostly for kids. They get know new places with different weather and cultural attractions. It is good.
wow, this would be a great journey..
I liked the whole post and bookmarked the blog. Hopefully, I will get more helpful information from this blog. Thanks.
That's interesting. I just got it very informative..
It is admirable that this hotel employs locals and also promoting the local culture. This is something that is lacking in many big name hotels today.
Sounds very romantic. I was thinking about a trip with family for a long time but when I landed here my problem is solved.
