Buenos Aires - A remarkable destination for a remarkable vacation

Just like every year, this year too, we decided to visit an exotic location for our yearly vacations. After researching a lot about several destinations, we decided to visit Buenos Aires, the capital city of Argentina. This is a beautiful country located in South America. As soon as we decided to visit this destination, we started looking for cheap flights. Since, we are quite fond of traveling but we have to indulge in budget vacation, we have to search for several air flights that offer us cheap tickets to Buenos Aires. As soon as we booked our tickets, we started packing for our sojourn.

Kids were thoroughly excited to visit this place and they had accumulated a lot of information about this place through internet and travel magazines. The place enjoys a humid subtropical climate hence we packed our clothes accordingly. The place also experiences four major seasons. This city offers a variety of attractions and offers something to everyone. Since, the destination is gaining a lot of popularity from tourism point of view, several flights to Buenos Aires like British Airways are available these days.

The day we reached this destination, we decided to rest and stay back in the hotel. Next day, after a heavy breakfast we set out for our city tour that we had booked well in advance. Our very first stop was at Casa Rosada. It is a famous museum that displays a huge variety of presidential letters, flags, canes, drawings, notes and other Argentine figures. Watching these exhibits give us a fair idea about the rich culture of the place and the history of the place can also be traced back. Kids too enjoyed trip to this museum. Our next stop was at Obelisco. This building is one of the famous landmarks in this destination. Speaking volumes about the architecture of this place, this building is an architectural marvel worth looking. We had lunch at one of the popular restaurants in the city where we tasted some unique cuisines representative of this destination.

We continued with our sightseeing spree post lunch. We visited Barrio de San Telmo that is known for its hustle and bustle. This famous quarter offers a glimpse into the way of living of the people residing here. Around this quarter, there are several museums, churches, markets and many more worth visiting. A lot of time is needed to do justice to this place. Many tourists who are interested in a variety of commercial activities visit Puerto Madero. Close to San Telmo, Plaza de Mayo is located.  At La Boca, we saw houses made up of zinc and wood. We also enjoyed some of the best Tango shows here. With that our vacation came to an end. Availability of cheap flights to Buenos Aires made it possible for us to visit this wonderful place.

Remembering William Wordsworth

River Thames has great importance in many of Wordsworth’s verses. From the college days onwards I was a fan of Wordsworth and that is why I was very much attracted towards River Thames also. I never expected that I could visit the same in my life as it is in the other part of the globe. Hence, I was quite surprised when I was selected by our company to attend a sales conference in London a few months back. 

Being a company sponsored trip entire expenditure was bore by the company. Hence I had to do a lot of work in searching for the details for cheap airfare and cheap flight tickets. After doing a lot of work I was able to get cheap tickets to London.

Once it was the capital of the world as many parts of the world were under the British Rule. You can see the reminiscences of those golden days even now. Buckingham Palace and other similar structures of those eras remind us about those days with great nostalgia. Though, it lost its status as the world’s capital, it has not lost its glory. Even in this modern world, London has its own importance and it is developing fast with several new industries and increasing real estate values. It is one of the leading financial centers in the world and hence there are a large number of visitors who are coming to this city other than tourists. All major airlines are operating flights to London like British Airways and almost all flights are always fully packed too. 

As I mentioned earlier, my trip was entirely an official one. Still I got a lot of time in between to experience the city life and to visit many places. Hyde Park is the one which attracted me the most. The park exists as the symbol of freedom of expression which is the spinal cord of the democracy. There you can express your view on anything and criticize anybody. Anyway you are not allowed to talk about the British Royal family there. This points out to the fact that the British are still giving high respect to the Royal Family, though they are the people who introduced democracy to the world.

I could visit several places such as West Minister abbey, Tower of London, Royal Observatory etc. Though I have gone to these places I could not spend enough time there as I have very limited time to spend. Still I took a lot of time from busy schedule to spend on the banks of River Thames, my dream girl from my college days. I could experience the presence of William Wordsworth in each wave that came to hug the banks. They were eager to tell me something. I was quite sure that it was the soul of Wordsworth that tried to speak through those waves. He was asking me to come back again and spend more time there. I have decided to go back to the banks of River Thames once again. I have already booked one of the cheap flight tickets to London and this time I will be going on my personal trip.

To enjoy the coolest summer

There is a very famous quote of Mark Twain. “The coolest winter I ever had spent was a summer in San Francisco.” Though a bit of exaggeration is included in it, the typical climate of the city enables you to enjoy cool summers. That could be the reason why most people are selecting this city as their summer tour location. Unfortunately, my trip was not a planned one and I had to rush to the airport to catch one of the last minute flights. Yes, it was an official trip, but was not a preplanned one. We received an emergency call from our representative there to send somebody to sort out some problems he is facing with one of his customers. Company entrusted me with that duty and asked me to be there as early as possible. I did not have time to search for tickets in cheapest airline. As almost all major airlines are operating flights to San Francisco like British Airways, I did not face any problems in getting a ticket.

The demography of the city is a typical one with the presence of several hills inside the city. Many places in the city are known by the names of the adjoining hills. At the same time it has several beaches and plain surfaces too. After solving the issue I got about a week’s time to enjoy the city life. I was totally free on all those seven days and I have decided to spend those days alone. Though our representative offered to accompany me I rejected the proposal with due respect. All beaches and almost all parks of San Francisco is located in the Golden Gate National Recreational area. This makes your traveling easier as you can go to almost all beaches and parks within a short period. Conservatory of Flowers was the first place I visited. Flowers were always considered very close to human mind and it is believed that they can convey the message of hearts to others. That is why presenting flowers on various occasions have become a common practice from ancient days. If that is true, you will really get a lot of messages with combined emotion in that area. That much of varieties of flowers were there.

Ocean Beach is another attraction in that area. It is a preferred destination for surfing too. After the introduction of cheap tickets to San Francisco, the number of people coming here for surfing has increased considerably. Unlike in the Caribbean Beaches, the life in this beach is rather calm except for the surfing community. I have seen many people who are enjoying the loneliness there. San Francisco National Maritime Historical Park is another attraction here. it has a vast collection of historical ships and yachts which attracts many visitors. I heard that students from even faraway places are visiting this museum as they can collect a lot of information. The cheap flights to San Francisco usually carry such students who are studying for maritime courses.

Though I enjoyed a lot in those seven days, I was quite sad as I cannot make my family too enjoy. Hence I have decided this city as my next holiday destination.
