The East Coast of the USA Has Fantastic Cultural Experiences forTravelers

A lot of people enjoy traveling because it gives them an opportunity to be at one with nature and find some inner peace and tranquility. It is certainly true that there isn’t a natural wonder on our planet that won’t take your breath away. However, some people say that as wonderful as nature may be, true wisdom is found when experiencing cultures and creations made by man.

If you book on one of the Tauck Tours to USA, you will have an opportunity to experience all of this, particularly if you go to the East Coast. Some of the biggest cultural centers can be found here, mainly in the big cities. Places like Philadelphia, Washington DC and New York City are just some of the possibilities that are open to you. Visiting these places gives you a chance to see true wonders of the modern age, as well as being able to experience the fascinating cultural tapestry that is American history.

If this is your first time in the USA, make sure you learn as much as possible about the places you will visit before you go. Firstly, make sure there is a valid visa for entry, you can find more details at ESTA Application.When you book on an East Coast tour, you should be given a full itinerary of places you will visit and routes you will travel, which will give you an opportunity to prepare yourself for the things that you will get to see. One of the reasons why it is important you do this is because you will probably go to the three big cities mentioned previously, and these cities are so big that, without any knowledge on what to do, you may just find yourself slightly lost.

New York City
New York City is often referred to as the ‘Big Apple’. Most people know at least some of the things that you can go and visit here. These spots include:
·        The Empire State Building
·        Fifth Avenue
·        NBC Studios
·        The Rockefeller Center
·        Wall Street
·        The Statue of Liberty
These places are all marvels of the modern world, representing the height of modern civilization. They are our equivalent of Machu Pichu and the Pyramids, in other words.

Washington DC
Washington DC is where the US government sits. This doesn’t mean you have to become involved in politics, but some of the political places are not to be missed. Make sure you visit Capitol Hill and the White House, for instance. Just looking at those places and imagining the decisions that are being made behind those walls can be overwhelming. Furthermore, the city is filled with amazing memorials to past presidents and to many wars. Plus, it is said to be designed according to Masonic laws, which adds a little mystery to it.

Philadelphia

Philadelphia, or Philly, is considered to be the Mecca of freedom and liberty for Americans. This is why you simply must visit the Independence Hall and the Liberty Bell and marvel at the places where the American Constitution and the Declaration of Independence were born.

Three Hours City Tour At Ensenada, Mexico

A THREE HOURS CITY TOUR when we embarked in Mexico on the second morning.   My sister booked the three hours city tour in Ensenada, Mexico, a van came to pick us up from the port.  Ensenada is the border of Mexico and it reminds me of Hatyai, a border town too between Malaysia and Thailand.  We were taken to a shopping area where we must haggle for the goods.  LOL.. Yes, something common in my own country... Anyway, we did not buy anything for ourselves... just a wooden handmade truck for my grandson which cost $8usd.   Nothing much to shout about on this three hours excursion, I was so sleepy on the way back to the ship that I dozed off and only awaken when we were driven through the town.  All in all, I just wanted to step onto Mexican soil and I would give this a miss if I were to go on this Mexico cruise again.  LOL... At the open area shopping walking towards the Blowhole... This is La Bufadora Blowhole, an amazing natural marine geyser that is capable of shooting water over 60 fe

Exploring The Sea Cruise Royal Caribbean

CRUISING ALONG.... Once we deposited our bags in our cabins, we had our buffet meal at the Hammerjack restaurant and exactly at 4pm, we heard a loud Horn signal...  ITS TIME TO SAIL ALONG THE PACIFIC OCEAN! And while the ship started to sail, we humans started to walk and explore.... to familarize ourselves inside the ship....  Elevators on each side of the ship....  Making my mark....  On another side....  We walked along to check out our food outlets... This Promenade Cafe  had became our regular joint .... We like to sit there enjoying our hot drinks and desserts... Free flow of food day and night.... Passing through the bars to the casino... The casino will open only when the ship is in international waters...  At one of the jackpot machines... I wonder if they are real?? But they are only $1 bundles... Then we went up to the highest floor.... The swimming deck.... Taken against the sun.... Nice sunset in the evening.... The Happy Trio!

First Day In The Royal Caribbean Cruise To Mexico

ROW ROW ROW YOUR BOAT.... gently down the sea....  Royal Caribbean, it is my second time following this giant vessel, the first time was from Singapore to Phuket, that was a very nice cruise.  So when my son mentioned that he found a good deal online, this time to Mexico, I agreed without hesitation.  Let's Go! A three nights stay with food and lodging only cost around $250 per person with at least one senior in per room.  Meals were either buffet style or fine dining, we can choose and cafes were opened 24 hours for us to rest and relax.  How not to resist... LOL...  And so here we are... just one week after landing in US, I was on the sea....  Looks small from afar...  It was a giant vessel with at least 14 floors.... On the way to embarking after Custom Clearance...  Our room for the next three nights....  Small and cosy.... And adjoining to my son's family room through a door...  The one with balcony cost a bit more...  A short briefing about safety after we checked in....
