If you want to understand the heart of Tokyo and get much more than a tour... Try this one.
I didn't realize Tokyo had such a intricate waterway. On a trip to
Akusaka we decided to take the water bus rather than the train. It's a nice
alternative to the metro and it's a nice
way to see Tokyo from the river. It's slow and peaceful and you pass
under multiple bridges . It's sheds a different light on Tokyo...like you are on
the outside looking in.
There appears to be 9
different water buses, so depending on the time of day and the stop, the
price and the vessel varies. For example the Himiko only departs twice a
day from Odaiba Seaside Park and it seems to be the longest, most
expensive water bus to travel on. My advice is to get a timetable in
English if you want to ride a particular bus. So arguably the Hotaluna ferry boat with its open top deck might be a
better choice. A lot depends on timing convenience and the difference
may be less significant in that context.
There is always an opportunity to bless someone. The more we seek to bless others, God will provide for us and open more doors to accomplish His will.
A touching video to cap off the whole event.
Scripture makes it clear that God blesses
us not so we can live with greed, but so we can bless others. God loves
a cheerful giver. When He sees that someone is giving freely out of
love, God blesses them more.We are blessed to be a blessing.
Our Seaworld ticket came included with our purchase for discovery cove and I
tell you it was sooooo worth it going after discovery cove it was a
long day but we made it in time for the dolphin show, the fun rides
and the seaworld finale it was an AMAZINGGG day.
Shamu Show during the day is incomparable to its night counterpart. There is water shooting around the pool while
the show is going on. If you sit in the Splash zone, these water jets
obstruct the actual orca show.
Get there just for opening & you will be able to ride Manta just like us without
long queuing times. I also recommend feeding the dolphins as you are able to
touch them too. It's $7 plus tax for one tray of fish (approx 4 small
fish) kids small & big love it.
Flamingos walk about as do other
birds which make great photo opportunitues. The dolphin & killer
whale shows are a must but get there around 20 mins before show time to
get a seat, earlier if you want to sit in the soak zone.
Turtle trek is a
3d experience & you alse get to see the sea turtles. The empire
penguin is a simulation ride i recommend the wild ride as its more fun
than mild. Be warned though at the end of the ride you get to see the
penguins in freezing conditions.
We finished the day with a whale of a show starring Shamu and seeing
sharks. Finally we had a bit of shopping to round the day out. This was a
great park! I hope you will have as much fun as we did!
This is a fabulous little hidden gem located on a weird street. We like a good dive
so we decided to check this place out. It is small and a little dingy in my standard but quite the norm at Little Italy in New York city
When you walk inside, it had that warm feeling. Very home-y. We sat down
right away and the staff there were very friendly! They recommended food
options to us and were very patient with my indecisiveness that day.
Thank you waiter!
My friends had one of their thin crust pizza while I had their special homemade pasta with pesto sauce and seafood risotto in red sauce. Both were
excellent. My pasta was perfectly al dente, which is very important for
me, and had a nice kick to it which added to the all around flavor.
If you're ever staying in this section of NY (sort of Times Square/Upper Midtown) I'd highly recommend hopping over here.
This was one of the highlight of our Disney World trip, the other one was at Bibbidi Bobbidi boutique (see post here ) First, we tour Belle's house and then her father's workshop and an
amazing special effects brings you into her castle.
Another amazing
special effect is the wardrobe lady (sorry - I don't know their names)
talks to you and gets you ready to meet Belle. Then you are brought into
another room where you speak to Luminere on the mantle - amazing!!! - each
one is better than the next. After that Belle comes out for an intimate
story with a limited (24 or so) group and then poses for individual
pictures.
The girls and my nephew were selected for parts in Belles story, which is done as a
surprise for them. They moved
through 3 rooms during the experience and the animatronics are
fantastic.
The best part was that Belle posed for a pic with each child
at the end and presented them with a bookmark saying 'thank you for
being a part of my story'.
Ive been to a couple of Fogo de chao`s all over the globe or a churrascaria type of restaurants (see previous post here , here and here ) but this branch in Orlando did not meet the same standard in all areas as my first experience but it still was a great experience mainly because of the company Im with.
Although Im familiar with this chain of restaurants but not this particular
location, so there weren't too many surprises anymore. Generally, my experience
turns on the service received and the quality of the meats rotating on
the floor.
Dining at Fogo for lunch or dinner is always a treat. It is a very expensive
experience, but you are notice prior to arrival - especially for dinner-
so it's hard to complain about the price despite being exorbitant.
I
recommend not eating anything a day prior lolz, wearing stretchy clothing, and prepare for
the meat sweats. Call in advance for large parties and expect to pay at
least $80 a head for dinner.
If you are seeking to experience Fogo de
Chao for the first time, come for lunch. You get the same foods but at
half the cost.
