Singapore and More Pre or Post Cruise Destination while exploring Asia and More


Singapore is a perfect place to visit anytime, but it is very popular with a pre or post destination prior to cruising and seeing Asia.

Visit Singapore's famous Raffles Hotel, Arcade, shops and Restaurants



 We found that there were so many things to do and see that we were very glad that we had added a couple extra days after our cruse.  Sailing From China to Singapore was a trip worth exploring a few extra days on both ends of the cruise.

We checked out the city and found that the bus system was easy and very inexpensive.  We first recommend taking the Hop On and Hop Off to familiarize yourself with the highlights of the city.


 Secondly be sure to explore the buses and check out the schedules.  Most of the hotels are located close to the bus stops.  Singapore is a very clean city and there will always be enough to explore without wishing that you had booked extra time.
The Architecture in Singapore is pretty Modern and very Unique.   The city scape is beautiful from every direction that you see.  Once we pulled into port the skyline really took over and kept our attention for exploring throughout our stay.

Don't forget to visit China Town.  You will want to taste some the wonderful local dishes and maybe try out something new.

The botanical Gardens has some amazing varieties of plants and trees that we have never seen before.  Take a look at these beautiful palm tree style plants just to see what we are talking about.  Don't forget to take in the Orchid Exhibits while you are at the Gardens (a must see and only costs approximately $8.00 USD.  Enjoy and have a great time just wandering around Singapore and See More

Arizona Road Trip - Montezuma Well- National Monument

Everyone needs to plan a Road Trip to Arizona.  There are so many National Parks and National Monuments to explore with the entire family. Arizona always offers some amazing opportunities for the Best Road Trip and you will not be disappointed in Montezuma Well.

 For more information on this National park check out the National Park website and you can see all the things to do and see throughout Arizona.  Don't forget to visit the Grand Canyon while you are in the Grand Canyon State of Arizona.  You will see everything from the High Desert to mountain passes.  The timberline meets the canyons and create impressive 360 degree views.  Time to get out and enjoy Arizona and it national treasures.
For additional information http://www.nps.gov/moca/planyourvisit/exploring-montezuma-well.htm

 The water is still very important to the farmers and businesses down stream even today and feeds into the irrigation ditches.
There are lots of hiking trails around the Montezuma's Well and the Park Staff are very helpful in answering your questions.  The Park Staff provides information and will lead you down the narrow path.  This is a very easy trail to follow but be careful and watch your children.  The safety rails are very rustic and you should watch your footing and keep good tract of your kids.  Definitely a great  educational experience for the entire family.



Every Family should take a couple weeks for vacation during spring or summer to experience the beauty and history that Arizona has to offer.  You could spend an entire year in Arizona and never see it all.  I look forward to the next visit to Arizona and Vacation there Again real soon.  Happy Travels




Montezuma's Well is a part of the Montezuma Castle National Monument.  The area is very beautiful and we explored it during the spring and were able to see all the wild flowers in bloom along the trail to Montezuma's Well.  When you are exploring this amazing park you will see some cliff dwellings in the side of the mountain that is close by a variety of archaeological sites. The area was home to many groups of people who used the area for safety, food and shelter.  The constant flow of water brings over 1.5 million gallons of water to the well every day.

Catalina Island Fun Day of Exploration - Things to Do on Catalina

Have you ever been to Catalina Island.  Catalina is a favorite spot for many travelers.  We decided to check it out being a native Californian and everyone I know said it was a great island. We boarded the Catalina Express out of Long Beach.




Easy Boarding out of Long Beach.  The parking price is $15.00 for a 24 hour period and very convenient to the boarding point.  The customer service from Catalina Express was exceptional.  The ride was very smooth and took about 70 minutes each direction.  Some people do a day trip while others prefer to spend some time at the local hotels.  These hotels are quaint and easy to access from the




Catalina Express is the company that we used and we would that the ride, prices and services were fantastic.  Contact Catalina Express at the following website for prices and locations where you can pick up the Ferry or Fast Speed Catamaran http://www.catalinaexpress.com/  Personally I can recommend this company based on our fantastic experience.
 Check out Catalina Express for schedules and prices.  You can upgrade one way to the Commodore Lounge for an additional $15.00 to make the ride home more enjoyable.  You will be offered a drink and snack with the smoothest ride. 


Here is a picture of the Beach and Walk Way along the marina of Santa Catalina.  Winter time was the perfect time to visit as the temperature was 82 degrees in December.  Weather is always a bonus to complete a fantastic Day Trip.  The mode of Transportation in Catalina is via Golf Cart.  The highways are very narrow and perfect for Golf Carts. 

 






The City of Avalon has a Dive Park.  We saw affordable vendors near by to assist people with diving needs.  It looked so convenient to enter the Dive Park right is a designated area just for
exploring and swimming with the local Fish.




 Walking beyond the Casino we found some local vendors that offered dining and drinks right down along the Marina.  Very Peaceful and Tranquil this time of year. 











The area is where you find the Zipline entrance.  People were there to offer expert advise for people seeking to see the island from above.  Looked fun and has 5 runs.  Prices ranged
$103.00 - $115.00 per person. 

 There are so many things to do and keep yourself entertained.  We got off the ship and found everything within walking distance.  We Visited the Casino (which means  meeting place) serves as the museum and meeting hall for movies and current events.
 What a fun day to walk through the town of Avalon.  The pier offers a good place to have a drink and catch a lunch before getting ready to depart on your return cruise back to Long Beach.
 We were guests of Santa Catalina Island Company and they had different tours that will take you into the interior.  The Guides were very well informed of the history.  We were impressed with the tour guides and their knowledge.  We took a trip up to the Airport in the sky and Sampled the DC3 cookies. 






.


The Airport in the Sky was made between two mountain tops and is a easy in and out for the pilot.  You must make it up to the airport for a DC 3 cookie.  They are really good and worth the trip.  The Catalina Conservancy is very important on the island.  Check out the Airport in the Sky at the following Website for information.     http://www.catalinaconservancy.org/index.php?s=visit&p=airport_in_the_sky

When we returned to Long Beach we saw the Queen Mary and it made for a beautiful ending of a fun day.  The Sun was setting as we took the 3:30 pm return trip and were back in Long Beach at Sunset.  For more information on the Queen Mary check out their website for hours and prices.  There are lots of events that happen on the Queen Mary. http://www.queenmary.com/our-story/Our-Story.php

 
 

 
 
Well that ends a fun day trip to SANTA CATALINA.  HAPPY TRAVELS.
