A royal tour of Kingston

A reggae lover myself, I longed to see the native land of Bob Marley- the Messiah for reggae-rockers. So I checked out on the low fares to fly to Kingston, the capital of Jamaica. With nearly 29 airlines operating in and out of the Sangster Airport, there was a wide choice to buy flight tickets for cheap. In total 567 international flights to Kingston operate on a weekly basis.

Having alighted at the Norman Manley airport, I relaxed in royal style as my car pick-up from the Pegasus hotel sailed smoothly into the town. Catching a red PPV local taxi, I was ready to explore the land of the Jamaican rum.

Places to see in Kingston:

First, I set off on a trip to the Blue Mountains –the home of true Jamaican coffee. The spectacular trail led to Newcastle- a historic fort which now houses the training center for Jamaican defense. The breathtaking views coupled with a sip of the heavenly Blue Mountain brew from Mavis Bank Coffee Farm, made the trip unforgettable. Next we stepped into John Crow National Park, which stood a mile further on at Hard War Gap, to feast on true jungle beauty.

Back in town, I first set off to my Mecca- Bob Marley’s House and Museum which housed all his memorabilia. With wistful memories, I moved on to Devon House on Hope Road. I did a spot of shopping, eyeing the crafts and curios and sampling the delicious ice cream there.

Port Royal was my next stop to see the famous harbor and erstwhile sunken Pirate Capital popularized by the sea bandit Henry Morgan. Fort Charles with its silent canyon evoked nostalgic memories of Lord Nelson. The National Maritime Museum and the Archaeological and Historic Museum at Fort Charles displayed artifacts of the sunken city.

Now for some relaxing, I headed to Hellshire beach, thronged by tourists and locals alike.  I moved on to Lima Cay- an offshore virgin island ideal for yachting, skin-diving, swimming and sunbathing.

Shopping and Nightlife at Kingston:

I found Devon House as a shopper’s paradise with plethora of shops from Things Jamaican to Wassi Art Gallery. If you care for malls, go to the New Kingston Shopping Center or Constant Spring Shopping plaza.

I had my fill at Norma’s at Devon’s house and decided to try the Mayfair hotel for a charming dinner by the poolside. As for a sample of the Jamaican nightlife, I was guided to the Asylum Bar which was a true Jamaican joint. To enjoy the ambience of English pub head to Mayfair or Mingles. For all-nighters, Peppers is the place for you. For karaoke and Jazz, Grog Shop beckons with its convivial air and famous Friday night buffet.

Although I got cheap tickets to Kingston, my memories of this royal tour remain precious and deep.

World-Class Fine Dining Experience in Buenos Aires

Buenos Aires promises a holiday of a different edge to the holidaymakers who are looking for more than just food on their holidays. Enjoy and make the most of the Argentinian way of dining while on your holidays in Buenos Aires.

I am looking forward to a world class dining experience in Buenos Aires with some of the best cuisines been served. The plethora of international restaurants opens up a cornucopia of culinary delights to a foodie like me. You will be delighted with the bargains available along with promises of exclusive fine dining experience in some of the most elegant hotspots of Buenos Aires. It is best to make the most of the cheap flights and the cheap tickets to Buenos Aires if you are looking for a holiday with a different edge. I have already made my culinary plans and have included some of the most fashionable places for my dinner experience- Palermo Soho and Palermo Hollywood. Most of the fine dining restaurants will leave you poorer by anything from $20 - $25.

Decide on your Taste and Pick the Best- The Chila

With so much on offer, it all depends on what you would actually like to indulge in your holidays. Buenos Aires has everything from the best of casual bohemian setting to the best of fine dining experience. I wanted to have a fine dining experience and so included Chila- Puero Madero’s top notch auteur restaurants, which remains the foodie’s favorite for their Malbec bread with exotic combinations, coupled with amazing waterfront ambience, wine and exclusive service. As there are more regular flights to Buenos Aires introduced, this place has gained immense popularity for their unique mishmash of flavors and brilliant presentation among the food lovers.

My Next Choice: The Casa Felix

The best of fine dining, the closed door concept that has gained so much popularity around the world is best experienced at the Casa Felix. I wanted to visit this private restaurant where I can look forward to a different yet edgy dining experience- prior booking is a must as they serve only a handful of people- 12 tables to be precise. They serve the 5 course menu with very creative recipes at very affordable rates. I want to stick to the Argentine fused menu and the place is open on Thursday, Friday and Saturday. I intend to make my plans early and make prior booking when I book my air flights.

Experience the Thai in Buenos Aires at Empire Thai

Food with Asian influence is at its best here in Empire Thai. Often regarded as the tango urban center, you will love the Oriental décor with romantic lighting in this chic and upscale Thai restaurant. The cracked glass, cozy ambience topped with hand spun music; you will be disappointed if you do not make your reservations. I am looking forward to enjoy spicy ample portions to satiate my taste buds. 

Thanks to the website Fare Buzz as I had all updates- from the details of the cheap flights to Buenos Aires to the best deals on cheap flights which helped me plan a smooth trip. I look forward to a indulging and appeasing culinary experience in Buenos Aires.

Touring Manila on a budget

Manila is the cosmopolitan capital of the Philippines full of historical sites dating back to the 16th century. I planned to visit this beautiful city after booking cheap flight tickets online.

What to see

I started my tour of Manila in the old district housing the ruins of Intramuros, the restored Spanish part of town on the South bank of the Pasig River. I took a tour of the district and was shown the ruins of the Fort Santiago and the restored Casa Manila, a former nobleman’s house. The entire area is the artistic hub of Manila with plenty of restaurants art galleries and venues for cultural performances.

I visited the National Museum and was amazed to see a sunken galleon dating back to the 17th century among other exhibits and got a peek into the country’s history at the Ayala Museum. Another fascinating place I visited was the Malacanang Palace; the home of country’s the head of state and the American Cemetery an oasis of peace, where lie buried American soldiers who died during World War II.

When checking out flights to Manila I chanced upon a description of Chinatown and also visited it when in Manila. Chinatown had a number of good restaurants serving authentic Chinese and I also picked up some exotic Chinese goods while I was there. Being a primarily Catholic country there are several ornate and beautiful churches in Manila like the San Augustin Church dating back to 1606 that I visited.

Moving around in Manila

There are plenty of private buses that ply within the city but I found the best way to move in the city by modified jeepneys or jeeps. Other modes of transport that I tried for short distances were sharing a ride on the side car of a two wheeler that is a cheap and easy way to get around especially in congested areas of the city. My trip to Intramuros was also memorable as I took a ride on a calesa or horse-drawn carriage.

Shopping in Manila

Manila is also a shopper’s paradise with plenty of malls for purchasing branded items like clothing and footwear. Since I wanted to get a feel of the local population and the way they bargain I headed to the Diviros flea market where everything from antiques to furniture is available at unbelievable prices.

When checking out cheap flights to Manila I read about the Tiendesitas shopping centre having 12 pavilions. I took a trip down there to pick up some authentic souvenirs for my friends back home. This market had plenty of handicrafts like barong tagalog or shirts made from pineapple fibers, painted papier-mâché horses from Laguna, pearls from Mindanao, and other locally made exquisite handicrafts made from rice from Cordillera mountains.

Nightlife in Manila

There are plenty of trendy nightclubs in Manila offering the best of live Filipino bands and karaoke. This is known as videoke and I tried singing during my visit to one of the popular nightclubs in a trendy part of the city.

From my experience I felt that the economy of Manila is booming and offers great value for money for anyone even on a modest budget. So it makes sense to plan in advance and to book flight tickets cheap to this beautiful city.

Jamaica – The Entertaining Trip to Jamaica

Once in Jamaica, the pulsating holiday starts at once. From tasty lobster dishes at Jerk Festivity to well-performed Blues and Jazz music, tourists book convenient flights to Jamaica in a bid to enjoy these events.

For me, holiday means a fun trip with crazy partying, binging, dining, and lot more. And, I lost no opportunity to pick one of the popular flights to Jamaica during the Jerk Festival to enjoy some mouth-watering delicacies of Jamaican dishes. The warmth and celebration during this festival is sure to take one to frenzy. There are other festivities too, held regularly throughout the year in Jamaica. No wonder, all the year round, there are cheap tickets to Jamaica from various parts of the world to ensure youngsters and fun-loving people with modest budget or on shoestring budget take part in the hilarious events and shows held in this Caribbean spot.

Annual Show of Tasty Cuisine Dishes

I thought I would stay only at Montego Bay to enjoy the sea sports, scuba diving, and kayaking in the bluish green waters of Caribbean Sea. However, an ad on the TV show soon caught my attention. It was the annual Grace Jamaican Jerk Festival that was to be held at Kingston. So, I took the next cab to the Kingston to be in time for the lucrative food court which had Jerk food and cuisine dishes, craftwork, soccer and cricket tourney, singing and dancing. I was not alone. There were families coming in from the USA to enjoy the mirth during this gala show. They had availed discounted last minute flights to come over to Jamaica. As much as 50 percent of the ticket cost was saved through such cheap flights to Jamaica.

Pulsating Bob Marley Week

Reggae singer, Bob Marley was one of the legendary artists whose tunes moved hearts of many song lovers. I am too an ardent fan of Bob Marley. Each year, there are concerts, karoaoke contests, and street music shows to commemorate this singer. Although it was just another carnival of music and merrymaking in Jamaica, it was celebrated by many round the world. Naturally, participating in these activities cost money. I had luckily availed the cheapest airlines to get cheap tickets to Jamaica.

Hilarious Jamaica Jazz and Blues Festivity

Every year in Montego Bay, the annual Jamaica Jazz and Blues event is celebrated with great cheerfulness and jollity. I was surprised to see last minute flights packed with music lovers from across the world coming over to the beach city in Caribbean island. To accommodate youths and students who are on a shoestring budget, the airlines offer cheap flights to Jamaica at regular intervals.

The three-day event was held during the night at the beach area. Sizzling with high-performance beat of the Jazz musicians; it was a treat to watch the fun. Getting tickets during this time was no joke. I was lucky that I not only got one but also bagged one of the affordable flights to Jamaica.

Hebrew Culture, Jazz Music, and Indigenous Operas with Tel Aviv

Even Israelis regularly take time off from their work to participate in festivities, dramas, and musical shows in Tel Aviv. Low fares in domestic transport encourage them to come over to the city frequently.

Once while covering the rich cultural heritage of various countries, I took one of the international flights to Tel Aviv and came over to the city with an intention of highlighting the art museums and galleries that hosts so many rare works of art. However, to my astonishment, Tel Aviv had a pulsating nightlife. Dance and music seem to be pervading everywhere. No wonder, tourists take the nearest opportunity to spend a memorable holiday in this city that has lively cultural activities.

City Overflowing with Music

My first write up was on the classical music which Tel Aviv is primarily famous. The Philharmonic Orchestra and New Israel Opera are regularly shown as The Barby and Goldstar Zappa. The tickets are expensive. I was lucky enough to book cheap flights to Tel Aviv and save enough cash to spend it on theatre shows, festivities, and entry fees to art galleries. The heritage of Tel Aviv is so great that it is not surprising that many Israeli nationals come over on cheap domestic flights from various parts of Israel during prominent holidays.

Operas, Dramas, and Dance Shows

At various bars and theatre halls regular dance dramas and skits are enacted. I got one of the tickets to Tmuna Theatre to see the fringe theatres in Hebrew. Though it was difficult to understand, the dress code, visual appeal, and interpersonal skills differed. The same drama in English was different. As foreigners, local dialects were difficult to comprehend but getting to see English version of the same was rather costly. I still saw a couple of dramas at Habima Theater, Hacameri Theatre, and Suzanna Dellal. The locals enjoy low fares while foreign nationals need to provide extra. Sensing this, my travel agent had booked cheap tickets to Tel Aviv by getting lucrative travel packages. I could save 50 percent or so by getting the tickets six months in advance.

Pulsating Nightlife and Night Festivals

I had taken one of the discounted flights to Tel Aviv during June end. I wondered why the flights during this time were of considerable low fares. When I reached Tel Aviv, I was in the middle of their White Night Festival, where the cultural hubs are kept open throughout the night. As the city does not sleep in frenzy, the administration has taken care to ensure tourists with modest budget avail low fares in traveling and get the opportunity to spend time here during this occasion. From Night Flea celebration to International Film Festival, there are many festivities celebrated with great enthusiasm at Tel Aviv.

As I surveyed the Horace Richter Gallery, Tel Aviv Museum of Art, and Litvak Gallery I was left in awe. It was expensive to enter these galleries. I thanked my stars that cheap tickets to Tel Aviv helped to plan my budget with ease.

Get High on Life IN Cancun

After thinking hard about the location that I would like to go for the vacation, I finally zeroed in at Cancun. Cancun a coastal city is situated on Mexican Caribbean on the Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico.

As soon as I finalized this location, I asked my travel agent to arrange for cheap airfares on the flights to Cancun. Later he informed me that due to rush and other factors there are no flights tickets that are available. So I have to check for the tickets and other arrangements all by myself. I searched for the cheap flights to Cancun on popular travel online portals like Fare Buzz. Finally I booked my tickets to Cancun for 24th December.

I reached Cancun on the 25th December with my family and since it was Christmas, there was a Christmas bonanza and carnival that was being celebrated all along the coast. Since I had come to Cancun to de stress myself so that I arrive fresh when I join back to my work.

Cancun is a popular tourist attraction of Mexico and offers a number of options for the visitors who come here. You can enjoy the beaches which has a warm climate all-round the year and there are a number of party spots where you can organize your own parties or visit one of the late night parties. There are facilities for boat excursions in the form of jet skis, deep sea fishing activities, fishing charters, party boats or dinner cruises also.

I also read about the Cenotes which are caves in the river that run underground. I found about them when I was searching for the cheap tickets to Cancun. This place is one of the fantastic places for swimming, diving and snorkeling activities. Besides this, there are many cultural activities that are organized in many different parts of the city at various parts of the year.

No trip to Cancun is complete without a visit to the Mayan Ruins that are scattered all along the Yucatan peninsula. Mexico is called as the land of Maya and there are a number of majestic Mayan ruins that are located within the hotel zone of Cancun.

Dining is one of the popular activities of Cancun. From continental cuisine to the traditional Mayan cuisine that offers you a fine assortment of dining options. There are more than 200 restaurants in the city. We indulged in the hotel hop where we moved about from hotel to hotel in their happy hours and enjoy the various facilities such as live music, rock band performances and other beautiful settings.

Nightlife of Cancun is active and loud and there are a number of discotheques and bars that you can visit. Some bars offer you a number of laser shows. Many parties start at 10.30 PM and stay rocking till the sunrise.

These are some of the activities that we enjoyed on out trip to Cancun and I hope that I would find the best airfares to Cancun next time I visit here.

The Berlinale

Being an avid movie buff, I decided to attend the Berlin Film festival last year, held in February. Berlin Film Festival started in 1951 primarily to boost the cultural morale of the German people after the end of the Second World War. I checked out the airfares available so that I could get reasonably affordable tickets to Berlin.

Other categories are for independent films in the Panorama section, youth oriented films in the Generation category and new German films in the Perspective Deutsches Kino. Many European films hold their world premiere at the Berlin Film Festival as it is considered among the most prestigious in the world.

There is usually a Retrospective and Homage to a well-known personality of cinema curated by the Deutsche Kinemathek.

City that never sleeps: Sao Paulo

Sao Paulo, the mammoth cosmopolitan city is rightly called the city that never sleeps because of its buzzing day as well as nightlife. I was very excited to watch and experience the epicenter of business, entertainment, fashion, commerce and politics prevailing in Sao Paulo, so booked my flights to Sao Paulo, the capital city of Brazil last year.

A day full of activity in Sao Paulo

The Paulistanos or the local workers start flooding the streets on week days in their formal western attire, watching this corporate scenario on the streets in Sao Paulo even I got out of bed to start my day trip and explore the city full of life, the very next morning after landing late night on the airport by booking cheap flights to Sao Paulo. While buying fresh fruits from the street vendors, I got to know that Sao Paulo is also known as the powerhouse or the industrial locomotive of Brazil.

The moment I heard Brazil, my mind started recalling the pictures of soccer, so I decided to visit the major sports centre of Brazil with huge infrastructure. Many soccer matches and international championships have been held in these two stadiums: the Pacaeumbu and the Morumbi Stadium. These stadiums truly reflect the love and passion for soccer in Sao Paulo. Since I am a sports freak, the next destination which I chose was the high speed and emotional Interlagos Autodrome, where the Formula One championship is held every year without a miss.

Finally to know the culture of Brazil in detail or to know it better I took a taxi to the famous Museum de arte Sao Paulo. Here the ancient collections of traditional paintings ranging from the period of Renaissance to the modern contemporary era were displayed. I was astonished to see the unique way of displaying the masterpieces which was totally unique as the paintings were hung from the ceiling and arranged in rows. This collection of oldest and the modern paintings in totally antique manner made my cheap tickets to Sao Paulo worthwhile.

Get bamboozled by the nightlife in Sao Paulo

The hottest clubs and the intense dance locations spread all around in Sao Paulo make it not less than a New York at night. As a visitor I picked the Sunday print of Sao Paulo’s Veja magazine which lists the happy hours and the cheap prices for the best bars and clubs. The cheap airfares proved to be very beneficial as I got to spend more on the bars and restaurants in the Vila Madalena’s clubs where you have to pay a minimum fee for the hard drinks. If you are a music lover and want to shake your booty like me then Azucar is the hottest Latin club where you will find every music beat from salsa to merengue to tango

As the moon light dawns, the Azucar gets jam packed with people. The best airfares gave me an opportunity to save money and splurge it on experiencing the exuberant night life of Sao Paulo.

Rio de Janeiro is synonymous with the famous carnival that draws millions of visitors from all across the world. I was stunned to know that Rio carnival gets almost 500,000 visitors every year. I was eager to enjoy this mesmerizing ‘Carnaval’ right in the carnival Capital of the World.

A hip trip to Athens

Mild winters of the magical city of Athens made me plan my vacation tour to Greece last year during February, so I booked the inexpensive flight tickets to Athens for the whole family. The enchanting capital of Greece, Athens was ready to welcome us with its flourishing archaeological sites of the ancient civilization. Since our flight landed at night we spent the night resting at the hotel room.

Our Day-Tour to the Acropolis

The very next morning my kids were all set to explore Athens, I was kicked out of bed on the very first day of the vacation. After eating the sumptuous breakfast, the first thing which we did was to reach the renowned archaeological site in Europe, The Acropolis of Athens. The kids were keen to visit this one of the Seven Wonders of the World, since they had read about it in their history books. We took the metro of Athens and got off at the Acropolis station. From here we took an enjoyable walk uphill.

The Acropolis remains open from 8 am to 6:30p.m. And we bought four tickets for entrance to the site which cost us € 12 per person.  If you want you can hire a licensed guide for € 50 or more to take you through all the important places in the Acropolis. We reached the Parthenon, the must see site because it is the most excellent refuge building built by the most advanced civilization. My personal favorite site was at the flag from where you can see the glorious Athens spread below like a carpet. From here you can see the famous Plaka beneath you along with the Olympic stadium and the ruins of the giant temple of Olympian Zeus. After roaming about and enjoying the miraculous architectures we decided to return back and while coming downhill we enjoyed good and delicious food at the cafes and restaurants by the roadside.

Since we all were badly tired, we took a taxi back to the hotel. But the whole tour was justified as we got to see an amazing archaeological site by taking flights to Athens.

Entertaining nightlife at Athens

Cheap ticket airline make it affordable to enjoy the buzzing nightlife in Athens. I decided to enjoy the nightlife activities with the famous ‘Bouzoukia’ singers and players along with relishing food. We reached the main area of Plaka where shows are organized for tourists. The flea market of the Psiri was worth buying local handicrafts, and whatever money I had saved by buying cheap tickets to Athens was used for buying local handicrafts by my wife. The fun and the night outing did not end here we decided to go for few drinks at the up-market bars and restaurants located in Thission area. Again I was ready to spend some cash which I had saved by booking cheap flights to Athens on the finest cuisine and the mocktails and cocktails ordered by my family.

Finally as night dawned, all of us reached back to our hotel rooms after an amazing day tour and bustling nightlife in Athens.

The Enchanting Fort Lauderdale Trip

Wanting a whiff of sea air and surf spray, I zeroed on in Fort Lauderdale as my vacation site. A major yachting port in Florida, this city was just the place I wanted to head to for a super holiday. With nearly 100 marinas and boatyards, Fort Lauderdale seems to be endowed with fun activities with its 4000+ restaurants, bistros, cafes and nightclubs.

Looking for the best airline deals, I found this place to be well connected to all major cities like Atlanta, Charleston, Dallas, Washington and New York. Travel agents told me that lots of cheap plane tickets are available at ease when heading to this destination.

My research also divulged that there are other cheap flights to Fort Lauderdale that can be availed from Albany, Boston, Burbank and Denver. I even contemplated chartering a helicopter to hop into this city, as I found that there were nearly 40 helicopters stationed at the Executive airport offering prime service.

Tourist attractions of Fort Lauderdale:

I finally hopped on to a flight to Fort Lauderdale, often called the Venice of America.

Dania Beach, Deerfield Beach and Pompano Beach lure with their silky sand and aquamarine waves with yachting cruises and tours. Fort Lauderdale beach is the scene of action for Snorkeling, Scuba diving, wind-surfing, jet-skiing, deep sea fishing, boating or rollerblading. I found people picnicking, camping and even trekking on the nature trails at the Hugh Taylor Birch State Park. I visited the Aquatics complex at the Swimming Hall of Fame, which is the pride of the city. Bonnet House was more of a naturalist museum with its environ-exhibits. The local tourist guide informed me that Lady Helen Fishing charters could take me on an unforgettable fishing expedition.

Whenever I wanted to play tennis Jimmy Evert, George English Tennis centers or the Bass Park, Carter Park or Riverside Park were the places I was referred to. For a jazz jamboree, I headed to the smith & Jones Jazz Bar. A visit to Elbo Room was a must for a sample of Fort Lauderdale‘s nightlife. I laughed till my sides ached at the hilarious comedy act, when I was at Laffing Matterz.
For a shop-alcoholic like me, this city proved to be a treat. I went to the Swap Shop for unusual curios. Galleria Mall is more upscale. Bass Pro shop is a fisher’s retreat.

Unique Activities:

I soon found that Fort Lauderdale has many unique activities. This destination is best known for its Greater Fort Lauderdale International Boat show.

The very lively Las Vegas Holidays

The name Las Vegas, to me, conjures an image of casinos, dice, Russian roulette, jackpots and dozens of dollars. The city offers wholesome fun and frolic for each and everyone who enters its door. Along with a bevy of theme parks, game shows, music and dance events, the city also has national parks, museums and galleries to feast our eyes on.

Tourist Attractions of Las Vegas:

I headed to the Adventure Dome for crazy heart stopping rides atop roller coasters like the Sling-Shot and The Canyon Blaster. I did not want to miss out the water and log rides at Adventure Canyon. For a space travel experience, I boarded the Big shot at the Stratosphere. I got into the Desperado for an adventurous roller coaster ride through mountains and tunnels. I watched people go indoor Sky-Diving at the Vegas convention center for a free-fall experience.

I went for a leisurely stroll at the Las Vegas Spring Reserve and Floyd Lamb Park. Golfing at Desert Pines Golf Club at Durango Golf Club was fun. The highlight of my trip was watching Broadway shows at the Smith Center Symphony Park

Unique attractions of Las Vegas:

I found Las Vegas having a number of novelties. To start with, the Bellagio Water show- a fantastic fountain display in front of the casino that shoots up every half an hour. The Volcano at Mirage - a fiery audio-visual display offering the sight of an almost-real life volcano spitting out fumes to the fusion music of Grateful Dead drummer Mickey Hart and Indian Tabla player Zakir Hussain. Next is the Shark Reef Aquarium at Hotel Mandalay Bay-where I watched live killers like Piranha, SawFish, Giant Rays and even the rare Golden Crocodile at this amazing shark reef Aquarium at Hotel Mandalay Bay. This is North America’s only predator marine exhibit, would you believe it?

The Lion Exhibit at hotel MGM –Grand – was a must see for me with ferocious felines roaming, playing and romping live inside a glass enclosure.

Fremont Street Show- Fremont Street has a canopy which turns its lights o for the Viva Vision show. Apart from this, light and sound shows flood Fremont Street gave me a psychedelic experience.

Las Vegas is lasting fun and entertainment- - don’t miss it.

Boston, The Hub of the Universe

Planning the Boston Adventure

The charm of the cultural and the economic hub of New England is unending, and hence I planned a getaway to this beautiful place with my family. We were astonished by the spirited neighbourhood which was totally distinct in character with quaint brown-stone lined streets and the renowned Red Sox. The cultural diversity of all the neighboring attractions is deeply rooted in the strength and diversity of Boston. I planned and booked my cheap tickets to Boston for an exciting vacation with the whole family.

Neighboring Destinations of Boston

We availed the best airline discounts to travel to the neighboring destinations and thus saved traveling time along with money. Among all the famous neighboring destinations like the Black Bay, Beacon Hill, DownTown Crossing, Faneuill Hall, Fort point, Fenway, Harvard Square and North End, we chose to visit Fort Point and Harvard Square. I clicked some amazing snaps by the harbor-side at the Fort Point, which is Boston’s major attraction with revitalized waterfront. Since my son is a bit intellectual, the Harvard Square was the perfect destination for him to discover the scholarly and the artistic aspect in the academic atmosphere bubbling in the dynamic environment. We didn’t want to indulge in much of shopping, therefore, we dropped the idea of visiting Faneuill hall and North End and took our flights to Boston to explore the major attractions of the capital.

Museums and Major Attractions in Boston City

I took the kids to the Blue Hills Trailside Museum the very next day, which is 20 minutes drive downtown from Boston city. The next stop was Boston’s Children’s Museum where my kids had a blast. This delightful museum was enjoyed the most by my kids and along with them I and my wife also became little kids! The New Balance Climb is a three-storey building which enhances the motor skills in children, and my son enjoyed most the problem solving puzzles. Science Playground and the Johnny’s workbench were their personal favorites as they got to create giant size soap bubbles and explored their creativity too. This museum is worth visiting and spending this I realized once all of us had ultimate fun over here. Located at 300, Congress St., Boston MA.

Tickle your taste buds with fusion cuisine

Since we had heard a lot about the Boston Cream Pie, and my wife’s sweet tooth was craving for something sweet, we decided to eat some of the finest and genuine clam chowder along with Boston's cream pie by the waterfront outdoor cafes. The money I saved by booking cheap ticket airlines for the whole family was worth spending on the trendy and sophisticated dining at the restaurants and the cafe's situated downtown Boston. You can have the fresh local farm sourced ingredients with best hospitality at the 80 Thoreau located in Great Boston west.

We had fun unlimited and my family also enjoyed so much that we are ready to book the cheap flights to Boston back again this season and begin our adventurous trip to the major attractions we left last year.

Capture the True Spirit of Orlando this vacation

The City of Orlando is the most popular tourist attraction all across the globe for vacationers like us. There is something aligned for everyone in Orlando, I got to learn this when I landed in Orlando by taking cheap flight deals last year.  Along with the major attractions that are enough to pump the adrenaline, the nightlife is bustling with activity to let you dine, dance and have unlimited fun.

I discovered numerous theme parks, major attractions, played golf and rejuvenated in the spas around when I took flights to Orlando on the dream vacation. I made my vacations unforgettable by enjoying the exciting visits to the theme parks on the exciting getaway to Orlando. I felt like escaping into the magical world of Harry Potter at the Universal Orlando Resort where the magical world of wizardry is all around. For an avid aquatic life lover, Sea World Orlando is the right place. Here you can enjoy the awe-inspiring ocean animals and aquatic life in the wonderland. Wet and Wild the most exciting amusement park to unleash your spirit and body with the funky rides and water fun activities for the whole family is not to be missed. At the Gatorland I found some of the most amazing species of alligators in the park whom I loved feeding and watching them dozing off in the sun.

Food Lover’s Delight

I got to taste the best international cuisine after the adventurous rides and theme park visits which made me feel starved. So if you also want to take a bite at the popular restaurants in Orlando take cheap flights to Orlando to enjoy fine dining experience at varied options like Hillstone Restaurant, N.Y.P.D. Delicatessen & Brick Oven Pizza, ‘50s Prime Time Cafe, Margaretville at Universal Orlando Citywalk, and San Jose’s original Mexican restaurant. I enjoyed a wholesome food along with great atmosphere and that too at reasonable pricing at the Margaretville, so this was the most lovable eating place I found during the whole trip.

Amazing Nightlife in Orlando

The bars and clubs are buzzing with activity and recreation during the night and even I got to put my feet up and rewind myself at some of the most famous bars like DownTown Disney and the Tuk Tuk Room. However if you are on a long trip then you can try out the famous Icon Nightclub, CityWalk’s Rising Star and Hard Rock Live.

The fun and excitement has always been unlimited with the eventful calendar all the year around. You will find the whole year full of festivals, concerts and many more events happening, however, since I had chosen to join The Yuletide Celebrations that’s why, I booked my flights to Orlando during this time. If you want to be a part of the Austalia’s biggest Halloween celebrations held at the Universal @ Orlando Resorts, then you should book your cheap tickets to Orlando during that time of the year. Other Festivals and events which catch the fancy in Orlando are Zora Neale Hurston Festival, Magic Dining month, A Tuna Christmas and the International Fringe Festival.
