Orlando Florida


The place I would like to visit is Orlando, Florida. I look at Orlando as being the ideal place for going on vacations.  There is no way on earth you can be bored there.  You can go to Universal studios , Disney World or even an Orlando Magic game.  In Orlando accommodation is not a problem there a world class hotels all over the place.

Taking the plane is easily the fastest route and the airline I recommend is Jet Blue. Jet Blue is a top line airliner and offers great comfortable seating.  Once you land there are many buses or taxi’s that offer rides to your hotel.  I suggest staying at the Hilton Orlando which is ranked as one of the best in The United States let alone the world.  Hilton makes you feel right at home. With a queen size bed and nice flat screen, you can relax after an adventurous day.  One site that is a must for any family is or a person who wants to relive their childhood is Disney World. There are a large assortment such of entertainment available at the park.  Disney World contains a lot of rides for teens adults and even kids to enjoy. They have live shows performed by Disney characters which interact with the crowd. The restaurants are great for the family as they are Disney themed and the kids always have a great time.  A great event to go to is  Orlando Magic game if you have a chance. I do caution the Magic are a terrible just awful team. If they play a great team then it is a must see because the tickets are so cheap. If you are lucky enough to catch the Heat  or any great team then definitely go ,it will be worth your time to watch the best in action for cheap. 

    Orlando is a trip I recommend to everyone I guarantee a good time for everyone. However this trip is not a cheap one by any means. The plane ticket down to Orlando from Jet Blue can cost $300. Hilton Hotel Orlando can cost up to $132 per night depending on where you book. Disney World admission is $89 for a one day  price plus anything you buy inside is additional.  An Orlando Magic ticket  can start at $20 depending where you sit. Overall I suggest you start saving your money now but is worth every penny.

Vacation to India and Nepal


India is the place where I was born and was brought up. I moved to America at the age of 10 for better opportunities. After 6 years I headed back in the summer to visit India for the first time after I left it. My family plan was to visit family and especially go see sightseeing. The flight ticket to India goes from 1000 to 1200. This BLOG explains a lot more. Obviously meet family was first on my list of things to do. I really wanted to go see things in India that everyone dies to see. The first place I wanted to visit was Taj Mahal. Taj Mahal around the world is known as one of the most beautiful place in the world. As of seeing it in person I can totally agree with that. First entering the Taj Mahal it’s a long process.
When you enter it starts of as a beautiful garden. It has lots of water falls and just beautiful scenery. I got to go next to and inside the Taj Mahal when I visited. It’s made out of clear white marble and it’s so clean you can see you reflection on the tiles. The second place I visited was the India Gate. India Gate is located in the middle of the capitol of India, New Delhi. It’s a very monumental place where Indian pride is shown. Many events by the army happen there. When I visited the gate I visited at night. At night the lights make the gate more beautiful than it is in bright daylight. My family and I had ice cream late at night while enjoying the beautiful view of the gate. During my trip to India I also did visit Kathmandu, Nepal to meet my aunt. My Family originated from the country of Nepal so I still have lots of family there. In Nepal I went around and saw some historic temples which I found boring. The things I found interesting in Nepal was trying all the foods and climbing different mountains in the Himalayas Mountains. This trip all around cost per person was 2,000 dollars. I did stay with family to take expenses away. I do recommend you take a trip like to make your mind explore at the beauty India and Nepal has to offer.

London, England


London

Anyone that knows me well knows that my biggest dream is to travel to England. Ever since I can remember England has been a huge interest of mine. I’ve always had dreams of traveling to England, living in England, working in England, and maybe even studying in England. However, if I were to take a trip to England in the near future, the first place I would want to visit is of course, London.

In London, I would hope to take a tour on a red double-decker bus, and visit places like the Tower of London, or go across the London Bridge, and take a tour through Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre. But most importantly, I want to eat at Nando’s. Nando’s is a restaurant that has locations all over the world, even one in Washington D.C; however everyone in England loves Nando’s. I know this because I’m the fan of several semi-famous professional YouTubers from England who all eat at Nando’s.   

My obsession with England has led me to even purchase my clothes online from major British fashion retailers. Shops like TopMan, JackWills, and New Look are some of my favorites. However, Topman and Topshop are the only British clothing stores that you can directly order online from through the U.S. For the other shops I have to either go through ebay or amazon.

While staying in England, I’d hope to stay at a nice hotel like The Grove in London. However one night alone costs around £1,000. So, if I were to go sometime in the near future I would most likely be staying in hostel like places. A flight to and from London from Boston costs about $850.00. Needless to say, before I plan my dream vacation to England I will most definitely have to save up quite a bit of money.  Hopefully however, it won’t take too long, because I really cannot wait until I can visit the big city.

Dream Vacation

    For me, my dream vacation will always be at Disney World in Orlando, Florida. I have gone down there with my family about eight times and I love it. I have mad amazing memories with each visit, and it has by far become my most favorite place to vacation. I went with my family two years ago during my junior year of high school and I am planning to go with them again sometime soon. Right now, however, I am planning to go down next Christmas break with some friends. We are planning to go down there near the middle of January and stay there for eight days. It surprisingly is not going to cost too much. We are driving down, to avoid the cost of flying, and it is going to save us a couple hundred dollars. We are also staying at a campground because of the warm weather in Florida even in the winter. We found and booked a place for fifty dollars a night between eight people. We bought ticket packages for seven days that cost about three hundred dollars for each of us to purchase. When you add the final costs which include food and spending money, the total comes to about eight hundred dollars for eight days at Disney World, which to me, is worth every penny.
     Once the cost is out of the way, the fun can begin. Someone could stay at Disney World for a whole year and still not be able to partake in everything it has to offer. There are virtually endless activities that can be done at Disney World, but we keep it basic. Once you arrive in Orlando, it is time to move into the place you will be staying. That is a treat in itself, especially if you are staying inside of Disney property because every different place is unique in its own way. The next step is to make sure you get a good night’s rest, because you will be waking up early the next day for a full day at the parks. There are four different Disney Parks and two different Universal Parks in the Orlando area that you can choose to attend. Each park has their own iconic rides that are unique to the environment and atmosphere of each place. This allows vacationers to stay for an extended period of time, and still being able to visit a new park each day. The way you can vacation at Disney World is totally unique and different for each person, but the variety and excitement that each trip brings is what keeps Disney as my favorite dream vacation.  

 

Trip to Upstate New York

Upstate New York

When most people think of New York they think of the the city part. Everyone every year goes there for a vacation, but there is so much more. The upstate part of New York is the complete opposite of New York, New York. This is a great vacation because it has so much to offer. The first thing you notice when you enter this part of New York is the nature. The nature is beautiful there are mountains animals, lakes, rivers. The greatest attributes to nature all in this one place. Now yes this place may not be for everyone but it is something i definitely recommend.One of the biggest attractions from Upstate is the Ski mountain Windham Mountain. This mountain is huge and has lights for night skiing or snowboarding. This place also suplies you with lessons so you can get on the big slopes quick. If even that is not enough they have a place at the bottom of the hill for tubing which is something the whole family can enjoy. The total price for skiing or snowboarding with lessons is about $250 for a family of 5. Tubing is about $10 a person. And when you done with a long day of skiing you can stop by the 5 star restaurant Mill Rock. Another tourist attraction would be the place of Howe Caverns. This is a place where you can go more than 800 feet in the ground and observe an almost magical place like you never seen before and see what it is like to be that far underground.
The last tourist attraction i would recommend would be
Mohonk mountain house. this is a resort were you go to vacation and enjoy the true beauty of Upstate new york. It is like a spa except your surrounded by a big lake and woods instead of palm trees and sand. For most people its a preference but i really recommend it.

California


If I had to choose one place for my dream vacation it would have to be Los Angeles, California. Since i was a young kid, I have always wanted to go to California because my father use to live out there in the mid twenty's. He has told me about a lot of things he did out there and about all the fun he had. For a round trip airplane ride, it would be about $606 with US Airways. To me that is not that bad for a trip to California and back to Boston. When staying in Los Angeles, I would probably stay at The Standard Downtown LA hotel. The lowest price they have for rental is about $185 a night. When going to California there is a few things I would have to do. One thing would go to a Lakers game at Staples Center against the Boston Celtics. Since i was a kid I learned about the history between the two teams and i recently got to see the rivalry in the NBA Championship is 2008 and 2010. That would definitely be a great experience. Another thing I would want to do is go to a Los Angeles Angels game. I would want to go to one of their games because they have one of the best teams in the MLB today. With the star power of Mike Trout, Albert Pujols and Josh Hamilton, I have no doubts it would be a great game to see no matter whom they played. Another place I would want to visit would be Universal Studios. I would love to visit there because I want to see where a lot of great movies and shows have been shot. Only thing I would try to not to get mixed in with a big crowd of people because I think it would take away from the experience. One last place I would want to visit would be the Music Center. I would want to go there, so I could see one good music performance that is either hip-hop or country. Even if they did not have the type of music I would typically listen to, I would still go no matter what. 


Rome, Italy

There are many places around the world that I would love to see during my life.  The streets of Paris, London, and Moscow are all on my to see list.  Walking along the Great Wall of China and through the ruins of Machu Pichu would be events not many get to experience.  But if I could only visit one place, it would be the city of Rome.  Although Rome doesn't have a warming beach or towering mountains, it is one of the most beautiful and historically important cities on the planet.
Rome has so many things to offer.  Michelangelo, one of history's most well known artists, created many of his masterpieces in ancient Rome, and they can be seen in museums and cathedrals throughout the city. There are several things to do, however, f I ever do get the chance to visit Rome, the first thing I would do is visit the Ancient Colosseum.  From epic stories about the Roman Empire, no monument matches the Colosseum in history or beauty.  The world's first larger than life sporting arena, remnents of the once vast Colosseum are still intact today, and the thought of ancient gladiator's fighting to the death in that arena is one of the most powerful feelings one can experience.
While in Rome, you can fully indulge in Italy's most well known contribution to the culinary world, pizza.  Some of the country's best pizzeria's are located within Rome.  If pizza isn't your thing, Rome also offers some of the world's best pasta, and Italy's dessert, gelato.
Not to be forgotten is the city within the city.  If you were to somehow grow tired of Rome, one of the most holy sites in the world lies within this majestic city.  The Vatican City, home to the Pope, and perhaps the site of greatest historical importance to the Catholic Church, lies within the city of Rome. 
The only bad thing about this once in a lifetime trip would be getting there.  A flight from Boston to Rome has a duration of just over 7 hours, and would run you about $1200.  Once in Rome, staying at the city's finest hotels could max out at over $1000 per night.  Of course, much more moderate accommodations can always be made.
