    Animal Kingdom | 2017

    July 19, 2017 /

    Another super park full of attractions for children and adults, the day of visiting Animal Kingdom always yields good memories. On our last trip there, we booked two days to visit the park, basically because our final day coincided with the opening day of the new Pandora: World of Avatar area and we were tempted to meet since we were by Orlando. Again, we try to maximize FastPass and avoid queues. One of the aspects I like most about this park are the friendly areas for rest, usually super wooded, which also serves as a refuge on these hot days that make in this city. Our favorite area is behind…

    Ville de Québec | What's to be done?

    July 12, 2017 /

    One of the advantages, if you can count like this, of the husband traveling a lot for work, is that back and a half the whole family organizes and goes together. That’s how we were recently visiting the provícia capital of Québec, our second visit there, the first had been in 2008 (see post here), 9 years later! I can’t believe it took us that long to get back there. And I’ll tell you, the trip just made us fall in love with the city a little bit more. It was only a full day and a late afternoon, but it was enough to feel the weather, walk through the…

    Universal Orlando | Islands of Adventure, California

    July 5, 2017 /

    The adventure begins meeeesmo!   On our other two days at Universal, we booked for the Orlando Islands of Adventure, which promises hours of fun. I think the combination of attractions is phenomenal, pleasing a little of all tastes. We used the base ticket, without access to the two parks and without the fast queues, so the use of the Universal application was essential to check queue times, location of characters etc. In doubt you can check the attractions that they can go by the height … Here at home, we’re superhero fans and so the Marvel Super Hero Island area was great for meeting some characters in person. I’ll…

    Just one afternoon in Ottawa | What to do

    June 24, 2017 /

    The place was full, but we got a moment "almost" just ours in inspiration village There have been cases on our trips where there was a little vague time between one flight and another and whenever this happens and we have the possibility, we try to reconcile with a little visit to that city. The fact is that Ottawa is in the "middle" of the road between two major Canadian cities, Montreal and Toronto, and sometimes it's like "if we visit" the tourist itineraries in Canada. And I've talked several times here on the blog, Ottawa is an easy city to visit, I would say, because several of the great…

    Universal Studios | Orlando

    June 21, 2017 /

      Universal Studios Orlando, Florida Our days in Universal’s parks were very intense (as every day, by the way). We took a promotion to buy 2 days and win 2 days of toast, so we ended up arranging our days to be able to enjoy twice as much Universal Studios and Islands of Adventures. And if anyone asks me, it’s hard to tell which park I like the most. But if I had to choose just one to visit, I think I would choose Islands of Adventure, for its diversity of things, for all tastes and age groups. But they both yield hoooras of fun. One park is glued to…

    Magic Kingdom | Disney 2017

    June 16, 2017 /

    And here comes a flood of photos, get ready! Disney’s most famous park is also one of the most photogenic and obviously most photographed places in the world. I decided not to take the official camera, more for the practicality of carrying something more compact, such as the phone, so many photos were taken. However, with the phone, the battery may not last all day and hence the question of recharging with portable charger or finding an outlet by the park (which is not feasible at all). I intend to take the camera like all previous trips, even if trambolhenta. I’ll start by saying that I found it very crowded…
