Dallas – Texas | Family travel
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…

Los Angeles, California | Family travel
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…

Bonnechere Caves | Tourism close to Ottawa
Another Saturday arrived, a beautiful day dawned and I thought: what can we do today? That besides tidying up the house, dealing with the DIY mini projects that are always going on and so on.I remembered that it was on my list to visit the Bonnechere Caves, 123km west of Ottawa, in Eganville – Ontario. I researched the schedules, called in some friends at the last minute and right after lunch we headed there. Once you get there, you see right away that the infrastructure is very simple and rustic, no big ads, sidewalks or buildings. Simple washrooms, ticket office/souvernirs/water and a parking lot are the things you will find…

The magical world of Disneyland
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…

Disney California Adventure…
After our visit to New Orleans, our next stop was Los Angeles, California. Our plans included visiting the city, going to the coast, and going to nearby Disney parks in Ananhein. It may be my innocence or just lack of knowledge, but I didn’t know until recently that Disneyland is the original park, planned by Walt Disney, there in the early 50s (while the Florida complex only opened in 1971). There are two parks in the region, Disneyland that opened in 1955 and Disney California Adventures, opened in 2001. Following the weather forecast, we booked the first 2 days in the region, to visit the parks. But to make up…

New Orleans , Louisiana | Family travel
You’ve done more than a month of our crazy tour of the States and I’m still at the beginning of our adventure. Well, after Atlanta, we flew to New Orleans, Louisiana. The city made headlines in 2005 when Hurricane Katrina passed through there. At the time, about 80% of the city was flooded, and in some places with about 4.6 m of water. The famous neighborhood called the French Quarter was almost all spared the worst of the hurricane. After almost 10 years, what remained are, among other things, the vibrant atmosphere and unique architecture of the city. Lots of music, art, cuisine and crafts through the streets and establishments,…
