The city that is built from the ashes

April 27, 2012 By: Calvin Moore Category: Destination

Nassau, the capital city of Commonwealth of Bahamas has been known as Charles Town and it has been burned down to ashes by Spanish in 1684. Later it has been rebuilt and renamed Nassau in 1695. By the end of 1713, this island has become the heaven of pirates and many pirates have ruled this island as their private kingdom in the next few years. Then it has been captured by British and it has been brought to the present situation by the British. Even after independence it remained in the British Commonwealth. The history about the city I learned during my last trip. It was a well planned trip and I got enough time for airline deals, bargaining for cheap airfare tickets etc.

Presently the city is well connected to the rest of the world and there a number of flights to Nassau from different parts of US, Canada and Caribbean islands. I was lucky to get one of those cheap airfares to Nassau and reached here. The tropical climate and the beautiful sceneries made it a he4aven for tourists and the economy of the city is mainly based on tourism. Besides, the busy Port of Nassau also contributes a lot to the economy of the city.

Bay street thoroughfare and the Woodes Roger’s Walk parallel to the bay are the main attractions here. The bay street is a busy place for shopping also. Most of the people are coming here for shopping mainly in apparels and other accessories. As the international tickets to Nassau are easily available the number of visitors has increased in the recent past.

Cable beach, which is also called as the hotel district of Nassau has many hotels those extend their service to different classes of people. From the most luxurious hotels you can see even very common hotels also that cater to the needs of the middle class people.

There was huge crowd on all beaches in the evenings. People engaged in various recreational activities in the beaches include foreigners too. There were many vendors in the beach and were selling eatables and beverages to the visitors. The city mainly lives on the income from the tourists and the suburbs have middleclass residential areas where most of the people are engaged in activities related to tourism.

Pirates Museum is another attraction here. It will take us to a world which we have seen only in our imaginations or in some films. The weapons and other accessories used by the pirates in different periods are on display here.

A week in the beaches enjoying the cool breeze and the music of the waves passed very fast. I never felt as if one week was over. The day came when I am supposed to leave this beautiful city. I had my last walk through the Bay Street and purchased some items as a souvenir of my tour. Then I rushed back to the airport. Before bidding adieu, I have taken a decision to visit this city once again.

Jamaican tour extension

April 27, 2012 By: Calvin Moore Category: Destination

Whenever you visit Jamaica, you can not say that your tour is completed without visiting Montego Bay. With its beautiful beaches and the luxurious resorts built on the coast line it attracts a large number of visitors nowadays. It also has become a second home for most of the rich Jamaicans as well as for the rich from US and Europe. I had to catch one of the last minute flights to this city as it was not in my original tour plan. Though I have approached some travel agents in Kingston for flight tickets in cheap airfares , almost all flights to Montego Bay was full. Still I managed a seat in one of them and went there.

After checking into my hotel, the first thing I did was to visit Doctor’s Cave Beach club. I came to know about it even before coming here and I saw a large number of tourists there enjoying different activities. For years it has been continuing as the most favored tourist spot in the city.

Being the second largest city of Jamaica, Montego Bay too has rich outlook with a number of skyscrapers and luxury hotels. Most of the business happens here is tourism related and hotels and restaurants are making a good profit here. Every year the number of visitors is increasing and the authorities are keen on providing sufficient infrastructure facilities to the visitors. Almost all major airlines are operating flights to Montego Bay and thus it is well connected with the rest of the world.

Rose Hall Golf Club is another attraction here and the people belong to the upper strata of the society is frequenting this club to play golf. According to the club authorities even people from Asia and Europe frequent here to enjoy the game.

Throughout the coastline there are a number of resorts. Most of them are newly built and in some resorts they have left the old structures untouched. This gives the resorts a special look and makes them more attractive.

The city has become a hot favorite with film makers also. Many Hollywood blockbusters including some James Bond movies had been made here. The long beaches and the shallow waters favor shooting of films.

The evenings I spend in the busy streets for shopping. On both the sides there were many small retail counters who are aiming the business from the tourists. Various handicraft items, dresses and clothes were sold here. In between these shops you can see a number of food courts selling traditional food. When the airlines started cheap international tickets to Montego Bay, more and more middle class people started coming here and these small food courts serve to their needs.

Even though I spent almost a fortnight here, I did not get satisfaction. The urge is there inside me to visit the city once again. As cheap tickets to Montego Bay are available it is not going to be a costly affair. I hope that I can visit the city once again soon.

Sydney tour

April 24, 2012 By: Calvin Moore Category: Destination

Sydney is one of the hottest destinations for holiday tours and the reason for us to select it as our destination is the temperate climate and a travelogue we read recently. Whenever we are planning our holiday trips we prefer to purchase flight tickets for cheap as we can spend more on our enjoyments at the destination. As there are many cheap international flights to this city, there was no problem in getting the tickets for cheap airfares .

According to our plan we reached there in time. Though the flight was one of the cheap flights to Sydney, the service provided by them was the best of that class. After checking into our hotel we have decided our tour plan with the help of the hotel staff.

There are many parks and open place in Sydney and we prefer to go there first as it will give a lot of enjoyment to our children. We visited Hyde Park and Royal Botanic Garden in the first two days. The evenings we preferred to spend on the busy streets of Central Business District engaging in a shopping spree. Being one of the top fashion capitals of the world, dresses of the latest fashion and other accessories like handbags, caps, belts etc are available of cheaper price here. There we came to know that a large number of people, especially from Europe and America visit the city for the purchase of fashionable items and they are really making use of the availability of international tickets to Sydney.

Our next destinations were the world famous beaches of Sydney, The Bondi Beach and the Manly Beach. Avalon beach is also an attraction to the tourists and the beach carried a pleasant atmosphere on the day when we visited. We spent a lot time there in bathing and playing with waves.

The city is built on hills that surround the Sydney Harbor and it has a lot of forest as its boundaries. It helped us to experience the wild life also. The tour to wild areas was really a thrilling experience and our children enjoyed a lot. We spent one entire day inside the forest. The authorities have made arrangements for tourists and the life there is safe and peaceful. The next day we went to the Greater Blue Mountains area which has been listed as a heritage area. There are a number of parks there too and these parks are equipped with modern amnesties and toys for children to make the experience unforgettable.

Apart from a hot destination for holiday tours, Sydney is fast growing as a business hub also. This makes many business men from all over the world to visit this city. As many major airlines are operating flights to Sydney, it is well connected with the rest of the world. This makes the journey a trouble free.

It was a heartbreaking experience for our children to return from the wonder world. They loved Sydney that much and even now they are keeping on reminding us about going there once again.

Gateway to Alaska

April 13, 2012 By: Calvin Moore Category: Destination

During the gold rush in Alaska, the small township of Seattle was the main center of transition and the town which was living on timber business so far has been developed to a big city during those days. Many shipping units have been started here during this period and later after the World War II, when the Boeing has started their manufacturing unit here, the city started developing fast. As a flourishing business center it has a lot of opportunities and I went there to attend an interview. I was working in a medium sized information company when I got an offer from a good company in Seattle. The package was much better than what I used to receive. Hence I preferred to give a try and I came there for the interview.

Since I have to spend the money from my pocket, I tried to get cheap airfares and hence I have collected the airline prices of different companies before settling for one among them. The city is well connected with the other parts of the country by road and rail too. Though the charges are cheaper it may take much more time than the air travel. That is why I preferred to go by air. As I have not informed my present company regarding this and I have to be back on my work immediately, I was not able to spend more days there too.

I went by one of the cheap airfares to Seattle. When I reached the city, I really wondered about the developments of the city. It was not as developed as much as it has developed nowadays and I could feel the difference as I have visited the city around three years back.

The city houses many theaters and venues for performing arts. This was one of the reasons why I prefer to live here. On the first day of my arrival I visited one of the theatres where a classic play was performing. I enjoyed it a lot. I met one of my old friends there and we had our dinner together on that night. He too forced me to come to Seattle and accept the job offered by the new company. According to him the Seattle is fast developing and many new industries are starting here every day. This increased the number of visitors to this city and many major airlines are operating cheap airfares to Seattle.

The next day was the interview and I could complete it successfully. Before vacating my hotel room, I have collected all possible information about the city. I want to go to all places in that city. Even if I am not getting this opportunity, I will visit the city for a personal tour. As there are cheap flights to Seattle are available I am sure that it will not cost me much. When I got back to my work, the first thing I did was to check for cheap international tickets availability to Seattle. I cannot wait much. I want to go back there as soon as possible.
