The Shipwreck Tavern U.S Virgin Islands




One time, I was hungry and I asked my husband that I wanted to eat outside instead in our hotel. We decided to eat at “Shipwreck Tavern” as this is one recommended one of the server in Marriott hotel. We went the restaurant that being said above. It is renowned for some of the best burgers in St. Thomas. It is just nearby in Havensight Mall, were most large cruise shops visiting the island dock. The restaurant is crowded often, the menu contains of typical American food but its focuses on several types of burgers. Their burgers are good, my husband ordered one, and it was huge and good. Inside is nice and has a character and it is interesting, they have good service, they have a bar, television and they have slots machines too! Eating in Shipwreck was quite fun and want to come back in this restaurant again.

The Lugano Switzerland


The City of Lugano is great and I had a wonderful time visiting this City. I did not buy stuff in here as its really outrageous but they are branded types of products, imagine even just a wool coat its almost 1,000 Swiss Francs, you ca buy that if you are rich enough or you can afford it. The restaurants here are great and have spectacular foods which you will not complain. The foods are serves fresh and hot. I do recommend the Tango Restaurants it is a very popular one and it’s an Italian restaurants, they have great pizza, gnocchi, spaghetti or anything Italian food. Delicious food is satisfying and even the price is a little bit high but it’s worth it.I always loved to eat out while traveling in Switzerland and I missed eating it there now.What a great time I had when we were there.

Staying In Flamingo Hotel In Las Vegas


My husband and I stayed here in Flamingo hotel in just 4 days. We decided to stay in here because it is cheaper and it is by the strip or the hotels are just nearby each other and you do not need to walk far away to reach other hotels. I love Flamingo hotel. The room was clean, the bed was comfortable, the service was good, they have big great swimming pool. In this hotel, it offers a wide range of dining options, with each restaurant specializing in various food types from all around the world. The Flamingo Hotel features a live wildlife habitat inside the campus with African penguins, Chilean flamingos and Mandarin ducks frolicking in ponds. A number of tennis courts, swimming pools, spa and various other entertainment activities are available on site that make the venue more of a resort with a quintessential Las Vegas experience. The room facilities are Air conditioning, cable TV, hairdryer, in-room safe or safety box, iron, ironing board, private bathroom and television. I love this hotel and it is rated as four stars hotel in Las Vegas.I got this pictures online since I cannot find the pictures in our computer, because too much pictures stored in the pc makes me confuse and I am sure its somewhere hiding our flamingos pictures and I can find it later.

The Venetian Hotel Las Vegas



My husband and I stayed in Venetian hotel that was year of 2005, and we stayed in just for 4 days. Nowadays, as what I read online, they newly remodeled suites. The newly remodeled suites leave guest awe-struck with their size, beauty, comfort, and amenities.The Venetian is a little bit expensive hotel but the hotel great and it is magnificent, the lobby is very pretty with the nice European design. Our room was big, I love the bathroom, and it is kind of my dream one. It was my first time staying this hotel Venetian. I was impressed as it is looks so lavish and luxurious hotel and it is one of my favorite hotels. We did walk around and you will get lost once you will not paying attention where you walk, as this is a huge hotel. I love to see the gondola ride and my husbands best friend did get married on that ride, well they are both Italian and that is why they get married there. It was fun watching them riding the boat and the man sings for them. The Venetian has a lot of prestige shopping store inside that I like to walk around and even you will not spend in there still a lot of fun as you can do take pictures and other which you may see in this magnificent hotel. This hotel is rated as one of five stars in Las Vegas. I hope my husband and I will visit here one day again. I did not take any pictures here because that time I do not have my own camera and I did not care that time and I am not fun of taking pictures, but since I do blogging nowdays, I am now take pictures wherever we are and a good view or anything.I just write this one of hotel that we stayed in because this blog of mine is about my travel anywhere, anytime in the world.

One Of The Park In Baltimore, Maryland


My husband and I went to Baltimore, because there was a baptism of my godson and his twin sister. It was freezing and windy that time. Perhaps if there were no baptism we will not go there, but I had fun playing with the twins and seeing them. They are so adorable and I always love to see them. My husband and I were there, we did not go to any tourist place because according to him not really a lot to see in there, but at least I did visit that State. Traveling is a lot of fun for me especially when the place that I never been to.The picture was taken in the little park nearby the house of my husbands brother.

Visiting Windsor, Canada







Before the New Year on year 2006, the three of us, my husband, his friend and I went to Windsor Canada. My husbands best friend visit us in Michigan and three of us decided to go to Windsor, before we can enter in Canada, there was a boarder entry and they check our passports or documents. It was a long line, it was somewhat annoying, but what can we do, that is the way so that we can enter. Being a U.S green card holder, I do not need a visa to enter Canada and I am glad about it.When we were in Windsor, I was glad because I reached Canada as I never been this country before. My husband did took a picture of me with the background is Detroit as you can see in the picture. Even though, it was very cold that time but it was not snowing. For me, it is much colder without snow especially when it is windy. The three of us walked around Windsor but my husband and his friend walked to fast (lol). We went to Brazilian Bar and it was very popular and crowded when we were there. We ate our dinner at Thai restaurant. I love walking in Windsor and it was an interesting place to roam around and eat there as they have good restaurants. By the time when we were there, it was freezing but I was glad I wore a thick jacket, brought my hat and my gloves. I want to go back in Windsor again.

Shopping At Universal Studio City Walk


My husband and I visited Universal Studio City Walk; we just did walk around there and eat in the restaurant. One time, I went to the store looking around something to buy and I found a throw pillow, which the character is “Sponge Bob.” It is looks funny and my husband like it to and that is why he bought it for me. After few minutes of roaming around in the store, we found another one it says “The Thing 1 & 2.” We decided to buy two pillows that I like. You can see in the picture of sponge bob it looks want to hug me or wants to hug you (ha-ha) lol. The thing I did not take a picture of it because it is just a round one and nothing-interesting he-he! One time, my husband won a Sponge Bob toy, which I cannot remember where, was that, it just gave me a recall saying this “Sponge Bob character.

Hotel Wingate Inn Latrobe, Pennsylvania


Me and my husband stayed here for 3 nights in Wingate Inn before the wedding of my good friend. It is a nice hotel that one that I liked even it is not a luxury one this is kind of my favorite hotel, simple, but clean and friendly staff here. We left the Wingate and can say that it was a very nice hotel and a very good value. It is kind of like a nicer, cleaner upscale Holiday Inn but at $82 a night, I can't argue. For a lower rate you can book online at their website and get a non-refundable rate which is charged to your credit card immediately. This is risky but a good idea if you are certain on your dates.The service is friendly and the breakfast good with eggs, sausage, doughnuts, juice, etc. There is a small workout room and a jaccuzi. The rooms are clean and include microwave, fridge, and ironing board.The Wingate sits on a generic commercial strip across from a Big K-mart store, shopping stores, gas station and others.

Delicious Food At Thai Restaurant St.Petersburg





I called my husband this afternoon to tell him that I want to eat at “Thai Restaurant,” even though, we still have food but I did feel I want to eat an Asian food. Even he was at his work I did call him, while I told him I want to eat there at Thai Restaurant and he said he do not want as we have chicken to cook but as I feel lazy to cook this afternoon, I urged him to really eat there. Well, as a power of my sweetness I convinced him (lol). About 4p.m we went there in the restaurant, there were just few people there, and that time was still early for dinner. I did not eat a lot today and I was feel hungry but even I was I just discipline myself not to eat too much or else I will gain weight or I will have a stomachache. I just ordered soup, salad, instead of fried spring I ordered 2 fresh spring roll, I am not fun of it but I just tried if I like it or not, it is healthy than the fried one and good for me. My husband did order a friend chicken wings and nam-sod. Thai food never let me down; they always serve hot, fresh and delicious food. I always love Thai food!
1st picture was my husbands appetizer the nam sod which has chicken, peanuts, onions, peppers, cilantro, lettuce and others 2nd picture was my fresh spring roll with a brown sauce with peanut butter and the seaweed salad, and the 4th picture was my husbands hot crispy fried chicken wings.

The Bonnet House Old House and The Gardens In Ft. Lauderdale, Florida




Me and my husband just had the opportunity to visit this historic landmark "The Bonnet House and The Gardens" in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. Designed and built by Frederic Clay Bartlett, Bonnet House is one of the few complete homes and studios of two American artists open to the public. Throughout the main house, you will see murals on the ceilings, faux marble on the walls and floors, and balustrades that are really paintings. Fish sculptures rise in the air, and shells have their own museum. The Bartletts’ eclectic collections are also on display, everything from antique china to turn-of-the-century carousel animals.


I have the following advice where you can print out a $1.00 off coupon online in their website, AAA saves you an additional $2.00 off the $15.00 entrance fee. Not all tour guides are created equal. Our first one was a drag so we jumped ship and waited 15 minutes for the next tour. These gals are all volunteers and some of them seem alot more enthusiastic than others the one we had knew the Birch family personally and added alot to the experience.Take the "golf cart tour" in addition to the walking tour of the house. This is a great tour of the grounds and the flora and fauna therin. It costs a whopping $1 extra. You can't lose. The tour guide will tell you some good stories about the people who lived in this house before.


Two small gripes: You are not allowed to take photos inside the residence for "insurance" reasons. This really stinks as the house is truly an artistic masterpiece and would have made great photos. Inside the house is truly beautiful and fascinating place. You should definitely visit this place when you get a chance. It is very amazing house and you will love it. I had fun visiting this one of the landmark in Ft. Lauderdale, loved it!
