[ Travel Review ] Georgetown Suites: A home Away from Home

Georgetown Suites Courtyard building 

Washington DC is one of those cities that can bring about a sense of intimidation even to a seasoned traveler like me when you factor in visiting there for the very first time. It may be smaller in scale to NYC, which I love, but they both share unmistakable qualities that makes them hard to navigate for a newbie outsider. They're eternally busy, fast-paced, complex, non-existent parking spaces downtown and overall, can be very expensive. It sure can be a bit confusing if you're visiting for the very first time...

Your Travel Guide to An Unforgettable First Visit to Chimney Rock

If you're thinking of visiting Chimney Rock Park on your next family vacation and have never been there before, check the guide we put together to get the most out of your first visit - from a first-timer to another first-timer, who will soon be a second-timer.

We visited Chimney Rock during Spring break which to my book is the perfect season to take a trek up to the mountain top. The weather is cool, can be a bit windy and tad chilly at the highest point of elevation, but I won't trade cool breeze and mild weather over hot, searing Summer heat.

Winter In Niagara Falls

It was the Summer of 2005 when I first laid eyes on Niagara Falls. It was breathtaking. The park was abuzz with visitors scurrying around like a huge colony of ants trying to get to one place to the other but most were trying to get a closer look at this massive yet magnificent natural wonder of the world! That day, the beauty of the Falls entranced me and became one of those "happy" places I wanted to go back to when given the chance. I got that chance this Winter. And what a stark contrast to see.

Family Destinations: NASCAR Hall of Fame Charlotte

I love my city. It's a great city, but there are still a lot about it I need to discover. Places like NASCAR Hall of Fame. Good thing Avon Walk for Breast Cancer held their closing ceremony at the premises of NASCAR this year. It gave us the chance to finally visit the museum. True confession: I've lived in Charlotte 10 years and have never set foot inside this museum until that day we went. We aren't big NASCAR fans so that tells a lot about why we've never been. But, believe it, I had a blast going behind the scenes at NASCAR and actually enjoyed the races. I even got to meet Darrell Waltrip, Michael Waltrip, Joe Gibbs and their top racers and toured their shops last year. I even got inside the exclusive winner's circle lounge with Joey Logano. It was one of those things that don't happen everyday and you simply enjoy every bit of the experience.
