Best days @ Universal Studios Hollywood
We had the best experience at Universal Studios Hollywood. The rides were amazing and so much fun. The Super Mario brothers at the Super Mario World remind me of my childhood days when I would spend my entire Saturday afternoon playing that old mario game with my Dad. It's a dream come

Golden Gate Bridge Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)
Legends in the Morning Light: A Visual Feast Crossing the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco
🌉🌆【
Walking through the streets of San Francisco, one is inadvertently drawn to the dazzling red bridge in the distance—the Golden Gate Bridge, a magnificent structure that connects history with the modern, people with nature. Is it adventure? Is it history? Is it art? Here, everything is left unsaid.
🌟Day 1️⃣: Put on comfortable sports shoes, get your camera ready, and let us embark on a golden journey of discovery in this fog-enshrouded bay.
🌁 The Golden Gate Bridge in the morning fog, welcoming the first light of dawn:
- Early in the morning, the fog still envelops the bridge, making it seem as if it's floating in the air, gradually revealing its red silhouette, breathtakingly.
📸 From the ferry to the coast, capture the beauty from different angles:
- At different times, from different positions, the Golden Gate Bridge shows different aspects of its beauty. Close to the base of the bridge, feel its majesty; from the opposite shore, enjoy the beauty of its overall lines.
🚴 Crossing the bridge, experience this engineering marvel firsthand:
- Rent a bike or walk, crossing the bridge. When the wind blows from the sea, brushing past you, that's the most authentic touch of the Golden Gate Bridge.
🌸 In a nearby park, find a perfect picnic spot:
- In the lush Golden Gate Park, find a spot with a view of the bridge, lay out a picnic mat, and enjoy a leisurely picnic with the majestic view of the bridge.
🌆 At dusk, witness the changing sunsets of the bridge:
- As the sun begins to sink into the horizon, stand on the bridge and watch as the Golden Gate Bridge is gradually swallowed by the night, until the lights are lit, twinkling with the romance of the night.
💡 Tips:
- It's windy on the Golden Gate Bridge, please be sure to wear windproof clothing.
- The climate near the bridge is variable, be prepared with enough clothing to cope with possible temperature differences.
- Pay attention to safety when crossing the bridge and respect traffic rules.
The Golden Gate Bridge is more than just a bridge; it is the heartbeat of San Francisco, a poem in the hearts of countless travelers. Every time you step onto this expanse of red steel, it's as if you've once again formed an indissoluble bond with the city. 🚢💫📷

The Golden Gate Bridge Of San Francisco
#wecreate
The golden gate Bridge is a magnificent structure. It is one of those bridges that people will flock to take pictures with as it is absolutely beautiful. The Bridge stands tall with its sweeping cables and with its outstanding colour red, everyone can see it from afar. The golden Bridge itself is very long too, as it stretches across the bay area of San Francisco. I stand in awe when I visited this giant Bridge and wonder how people of the past built something so grand and huge, with their limited tools and technology. The golden gate Bridge is a true and a true wonder, and one with many amazing views. Go to the golden gate Bridge today and be amazed, just like me.

It looks pretty in the day light but as evening wore it's black shawl, the magic 🪄 begins and the place becomes people heaven. At weekends even it is difficult to find place to stand in the square. Life lighten here and you can't even imagine how too much time has been passed. A must visit place. One of my heartiest favourite place. 💕

Las Vegas Strip Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)
Famous Burger Chain in Vegas 🇺🇸
#winhkflight
📍In-N-Out Burger
Visited this famous chain burger store during our recent trip to Vegas and we had a great dining experience. Located in the heart of Las Vegas strip, it was pretty easy to spot In-N-Out burger with large signboards. Love the interior of the store, a very classic America’s diner interior which red cushioned seats, tiled floors, we love every bit of it! There was quite a queue at the store front during our visit, but it was a fast moving one. Was kinda surprised that the menu was basic; they only serve three kinds of burgers: double double, cheeseburger and hamburger. We tried cheeseburger and fries, and we are definitely a fan right now! Cheeseburger was amazing, the sauce topping the patty was the perfect combination; fries was crisp and served hot! We love it!
I wish to travel to Hong Kong for the food!

People from all walks of life roam the sidewalks, their faces lit up with anticipation and wonder. It's a kaleidoscope of sights and sounds, where the promise of adventure and entertainment hangs thick in the air, inviting you to join the spectacle. The bustling city and endless entertainment make tourists feel the night is still young!

Major check-in points in Central Park:

A Trip To Central Park NYC
#wecreate
The central Park is an urban park in downtown New York city. The park is huge and spacious and provides an escape from the busy lifestyles and hustle and bustle of the new york city life. There is lots of lush greenery and I appreciate the nature within the park. The sights are beautiful as you see a fair mix of floral and fauna with tall sky scrappers sticking out in the background. If you're lucky you get to see some animals within the park too, like squirrels, raccoons, some ducks, etc. There are several water features in the park and makes the place even prettier. Central Park is ideal for a hike, a jog, a stroll, a picnic or even just taking pictures. My pictures can't justify how awesome this place is and you should visit the park instead, if you are in New York City.
Central Park, New York
Fair warning you know it’s a big park but it’s a big big park. I walked along one side, the the Beatles mural and the Dakota building the first day, took about an hour. I found a lovely restaurant near by for lunch. The next day I started at the met and walked down town, along the way I stopped at the fountain and terrace. There are bathrooms in the park and for public bathrooms they are ok. I got a map as soon as I entered which helped navigate a little but if there are specific things you want to see allow plenty of time to get a little lost on the way
