Beautiful Manhattan visuals aboard the ferry to Liberty Island   Just so i don't leave it unfinished here and report our last day in New York with the family.   Our last two days, our first "engagement" was to take the tour to Liberty Island, see the statue of liberty, which we arrived very late the day before. Still, the tour was included in the NY City Pass that we bought for the days we were there and part of the group hadn't visited the statue yet. We even had to buy umbrellas, because the weather was a little cloudy and drizzling, but luckily, already on the island, there…

Brooklin Bridge, New On the 5th, we start the day (already close to lunch time, as usual), through the Financial District. Wall Street was our first stop, followed by charging bull (always crowded) and the adjascentes streets. Then, basic walk to the area of the old twin towers, felled in the terrorist attack of September 11, 2001. Today, the area is very different from the one we visited in 2010, with the first building already ready, the entire memorial built and the 9/11 museum in operation. The visit to the memorial is free, already the museum is paid (but is included in the New York City Pass). Next, our plan…

The two looks are beautiful, but I prefer those sitting… Who followed my instagram a few weeks ago, we spent almost 1 week in New York, in the company of Diego's sister, her husband and our goddaughter / nephew beautiful. New York City is that thing, as much as you go there multiple times over the years, there are always things to do, explore and revisit. Spring leaves the city super beautiful (and super full – say in passing). See our tours there in 2008, 2010, 2011 and 2012. We rented a car and drove, the four of us, from Ottawa to Secaucus, where our hotel was. By the way,…

Okay, Okay, I think I take world already tired of these travel posts that never end. Because today is the last of the series, counting a little of our past, also fast, by Dallas in the American state of Texas. I thought Dallas filled in that idea I had of Texas before I knew it, that everything is big and broad. And it was in Dallas, the place I saw most elevated, highways and highway conglomerate. I’ve never seen such road exuberance! One of the important events in the city is that it was there that U.S. President John F. Kennedy was assassinated in 1963. In the place where the…

From the tour to disney california adventure and disneyland parks (1st and 2nd days), we stroll through Los Angeles and the surrounding area. I confess that the time was short and it was all very quickly, in the race even. Still, you could get an idea of the region and some of the most important sights. As we were with a rental car, we were able to choose which days to go to the parks and the city of Los Angeles. Disney parks are located in Anaheim, greater Los Angeles and our hotel was in this area. We planned well the round-trip times from Los Angeles, since the city has…

On the second and third days in California, we visited Disneyland. Let me just say that I’m even confused with Disney World in Orlando, such a similarity in access. Inside, that main street and the whole atmosphere is very similar too, but numerous attractions differ between the two parks. I’ve already written about the other annex park here, disney california adventure. We walked through everything, but we didn’t go to all the attractions, because we just couldn’t. For a small child, like Alice, the ToonTown area, Mickey’s town and his gang, was a great option. Had Minnie’s house, Mickey and more, had a roller coaster that she can go (and…
