If you are planning a visit to Chicago with your family next summer, you need to start collecting activity ideas right now. The Windy City is a tourist’s wonderland, with so many attractions available that it’s hard to know where to begin. Traveling with kids is an additional challenge: you want your visit to be worthwhile, yet you want the little ones to have fun too. Here are 3 family-friendly activities to enjoy during your stay in Chicago.
1. Take a Boat Tour
What could be more fun than a boat, cloud-high buildings, and sunshine? The Chicago Architecture Foundation offers 90 minute tours on the Chicago River where certified expert docents will regale your family with interesting stories about the construction and history of the Windy City’s world-famous downtown structures. You will see Chicago in a most unique way: from the water, and kids will love that there are snacks and drinks available on board.
2. Chicago Field Museum
Kids of all ages will enjoy seeing Sue, the most complete T-Rex skeleton ever found at the Chicago Field Museum. A treasure trove of scientific delights, your family will love exploring the museum’s 20 million objects, including ancient mummies, dioramas of taxidermy-treated animals, and a collection of rocks and fossils that boggle the mind.

Wow…Harbour of Light Parade In Sydney
October 28, 2009
New Year’s Eve is the one celebration that the whole of Sydney plans for, prepares for, and anticipates for a whole year. Soon after the celebrations of a New Year’s Eve conclude, the arrangements for the next year begin, and sometimes even before.
Sydney New Year’s Eve events include aerial displays, Family Fireworks at 9 p.m., the Harbour of Light Parade and the Midnight Fireworks. The 9 p.m. Family Fireworks is a well planned and synchronized event with fireworks being launched from the barges on the Sydney Harbour, and the display seems almost magical with its pyrotechnic effects. A fleet of handsome, majestic-looking vessels, about 55 in number, will take part in the Harbour of Light Parade which has ropelight design as its chosen theme this year. The Midnight Fireworks is a spectacular show with synchronized fireworks set off from barges, from the rooftops of surrounding high-rise buildings and from umpteen strategic locations on the Sydney Harbour Bridge.
Almost all of the above events are best watched from aboard a cruise boat on the Sydney Harbour! And if the cruise boat is also a participant of the Harbour of Light Parade, it would be all the more exciting, as this would facilitate Read more

Visit in Hawaii
October 28, 2009
Hawaii considered to be one of Americas places to see before you die, from volcanic craters, beautiful beaches to popular landmarks makes Hawaii a destination to remember. Planning and knowing where and what to see in the island can be a very stressful and time consuming situation. That is why I have included below 2 popular landmarks to visit while in Hawaii: Diamond Head – Volcanic crater at the east side of the island of Oahu.
Finding it and getting there should not be a problem because it is very visible if your in Waikiki and if your driving or taking a Waikiki Trolley it will only take you 10 to 15 minutes without traffic. Remember before going there to wear comfortable shoes, bring a lot of water, camera and be prepared to hike up for about 1 3/4 miles up to the rim of the crater. It will probably take you from 1 1/2 hours to 2 nonstop.
Also there is a admission fee which cost $1 for walk-ins and $5 if you come in with a car plus the park gates opens at 6 a.m and closes at 6 p.m. Once your at the top of the crater you will see pretty much the whole city of Honolulu and some parts of the west side of Oahu which makes it one of Hawaii best scenic views to see. So make sure you do not lose your camera while hiking up diamond head because you would have to do that hike all over again. Haleiwa Town – A Read more
