It was a nice tour we had in Universal Studios. It is actually called a Studio Tour or The Backlot Tour, an attraction at the Universal Studios Hollywood theme park in the USA.




From 1915 when visitors sat on bleachers for 25 cents, to the 1964 introduction of pink and white GlamorTrams, to the current technological sophistication, the behind-the-scenes view of a working movie studio has been a large attraction. During the early years of the tram tour (1964–1965) all of the attractions at Universal were reached via the tram. The tour originally departed from the front lot comissary. In 1965, the upper lot studio tour center opened.

In 1991, the tram boarding was moved to the lower lot following the construction of the Starway escalator system. In 1996, boarding moved back to the upper lot to make room for Jurassic Park: The Ride.

As the movie studio continues to evolve, the tour evolves alongside it. In late 1989, CD players finally gave the tour guides a chance to rest their voices. In 2000, the CD players were replaced by DVD players and LCD screens, allowing the tour guides to show scenes from movies filmed at the locations the tram passes.

Since 2006, the studio tours bypassed the Collapsing Bridge, due to aging and wearing. However, the bridge has since undergone renovations, and was added back to the tour schedules in August 2008. Since July 2010, the Collapsing Bridge is now used as a representation of the Skull Island city for the new King Kong: 360 3-D attraction. wikipedia.

While Australia’s winter is starting to dwindle away, the countries in the northern hemisphere are starting to prepare for their colder months, months that make Australia’s winter look like a summer.

For some Aussies, there are two trains of thought. One is that it’s time to top up the tan, dig out the thongs and grab a cool one by the beachside barbie. For others, it’s a chance to explore the other side of the world, seeing snow for the first time, visiting some of the globe’s top ski resorts and experiencing their first ever white Christmas. While you can always find cheap flights to the ski fields in New Zealand during winter, consider some of these other countries a little further from home.

Canada: Canada is famed for its mountains, snow and Mounties and at least two of these draw the crowds in every winter. Mont-Tremblant is one of the most popular resorts and the country’s first official one, opening in 1939. Not far from Montreal, it gives travellers the option of a ski and city break with minimal commuting. USA’s hat also boasts a huge area of skiable mountains in the Rockies, including world-famous Whistler Blackcomb.

USA: Colorado, home of South Park and Aspen, is America’s premier ski location. The slopes are perfect for skiers of all abilities meaning you don’t need bags of experience to enjoy Aspen, but the accommodation is more suited to those with bags of cash.

Switzerland: The Alps is Europe’s major mountain range, running through seven separate countries with many of the best pistes in Switzerland. Two areas of particular interest are Gstaad and Zermatt. Gstaad is found in south-western Switzerland and is another area popular with the rich and famous. The trendy area with its beautiful vistas is sure to impress anyone. Zermatt is famous for two reasons: being a car-free resort and for being the home of the Matterhorn, one of the world’s most beautiful mountains.

Chile: Chile’s Portillo ski resort is one of a kind. With no neighbouring town, the ski resort is an all-encompassing affair. Portillo is one of the most popular venues in the Andes and has been a major destination for more than 50 years. As well as skiing and snowboarding, the resort has its own relaxation suites, shops and entertainment opportunities.

If you’re looking to swap the sunshine for snow this summer, no matter which ski resort you opt for, by planning ahead, you can make sure you get the best deals on accommodation, ski hire and cheap flights.

from 2008 to 2009, 2010, 2011! It's been three years now since I visited Disneyland in Anaheim, California. Together with my sister, my cousin and her family, it was one of the most wonderful vacation I had. We had a lot of fun in Disneyland that time.

I hope I can visit them again in the United States.



“ To all who come to this happy place: Welcome. Disneyland is your land. Here age relives fond memories of the past, and here youth may savor the challenge and promise of the future. Disneyland is dedicated to the ideals, the dreams, and the hard facts that have created America, with the hope that it will be a source of joy and inspiration to all the world. ”

—Walter E. Disney, July 17, 1955 4:43pm

Are you currently planning for your summer vacation? If you are working, getting money for your holiday might be very easy. You can avail of this so-called payday advance loan to spend for your vacation, bills, mortgage, hospitalization or any financial needs that you might have at the moment. It is very easy to get approved especially in the United States. As long as you are receiving your paycheck every month or I guess every fifteen days in the U.S., an approval for a payday loan is not so difficult. I guess this won't work for me because I am jobless and can never avail of any loans anywhere.

Sometimes you just need a break from your workplace. Enjoy your holiday! Here is an image of a fountain inside Caesars Palace in Las Vegas. I love this place!

Disneyland where millions of dreams come true...a place to be happy and forget all your problems for a while..Disneyland Park creates a thousand different memories, from joyful times in a kingdom of storybook enchantment to a thrilling journey in to the realm of pioneers in the Old West...

I will be sharing to you next time more photos from Disneyland park!!! keep reading friends!!! hope you enjoy your visit here!!! take care everyone!!

It was almost three years now since I visited Las Vegas, Nevada. I also had the chance to go to California and visited Disneyland in Anaheim and Hollywood Universal Studios in Los Angeles. It was a very interesting and memorable trip. Thanks to my sister and cousin for showing me these places.

I also had a stopover in Atlanta, Georgia during my return flight to Europe. I had around 6 hours waiting time in Hartsfield–Jackson Atlanta International Airport. I don't have the chance to go out from the airport because I was already very tired that time.

Spring is coming soon! Next to that will be summer season. I believed there are already a lot of people who are planning for their 2011 summer holiday. Are you one of them? Did you already decided for a certain city or country to spend your vacation. Whether it is a family holiday, cruise trip, relaxing vacation at the beach, weekend city break or simply touring a certain city or country, I suggest you need to plan it ahead of time to avoid stress and to save time and money as well.

There are a lot of beautiful places in this world and I believed each and every place has its own charm, beauty and uniqueness to offer to its guests and visitors. Here are some of the places I can suggest for your 2011 summer holiday.

Las Vegas, Nevada

You love shopping and entertainment? Las Vegas is one of the best place to go in this planet. Being the Entertainment Capital of the World, for sure you will have a lot of unforgettable, exciting and fabulous moments in this city. Its major attractions are the mega-hotels and casinos especially in Las Vegas Strip, simply called as the Strip.

Don't miss to visit the famous Fremont Street Experience, watch the Fountain Show in Bellagio Lake, the Volcano Show at the Mirage, Botanical Gardens at Bellagio or maybe a walk or window shopping at the famous Fashion Show Mall or Forum Shops in Caesars Palace. These are only some things to see in Las Vegas and there are still tons of them.

I love Las Vegas and hope to visit it again in the future.


Cape Town

This city in South Africa is not only a famous travel destination for European people but also from different tourists from all parts of the globe. No wonder, it is the most popular tourist destination in Africa. Spending a holiday in Cape Town is a good choice not only because of its natural setting but also because of its good climate and well-developed infrastructure. Don't miss to visit its popular tourist attraction like the Table Mountain, the so-called Cape Point or maybe a drive along Chapman's Peak Drive. You might also want to take a hike up to Signal Hill to have a great view of Table Mountain and City Bowl.

I believed Cape Town is truly a wonderful place to visit during summer holidays.

Sweden

Are you familiar with the European country that houses the Nobel Prize committee except for the Nobel peace prize? It is no other than Sweden. This country is a member of the European Union since 1995 but they did not join the European Monetary Union and the euro currency. It is also the largest of the Nordic countries in Northern Europe.

Why do you think that spending a holiday in Sweden is worth it? I heard from a friend in Sweden that it is a country that is great for outdoor life. Depending on the season, skiing, hiking, cycling and canoeing are only some of the outdoor activities that you can enjoy when visiting Sweden. If you love shopping and night life, Stockholm, its capital city and Gothenburg are the best ones to go.

You don't have to worry about your travel safety in Sweden. It has a low crime rate and is generally a safe place to travel.

I wish you all a wonderful and memorable summer holiday!

It is almost three years now since I visited Universal Studios Hollywood in Los Angeles, California. Time truly passes-by so fast. Special thanks to my sister and cousin for touring me here. I truly had a great time. Visiting this place was one of the most memorable travels I had. Just sharing some of the images I took during our visit last June 2008.




EARLY YEARS OF UNIVERSAL STUDIOS

Universal was founded by Carl Laemmle, a German-Jewish immigrant from Laupheim who settled in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, where he managed a clothing store. On a buying trip in 1905 to Chicago, he was struck by the popularity of nickelodeons. One story has Laemmle watching a box office for hours, counting patrons and calculating the day's take. Within weeks of his Chicago trip, Laemmle gave up dry goods to buy the first of several nickelodeons. For Laemmle and other such entrepreneurs, the creation in 1908 of the Edison-backed Motion Picture Trust meant that exhibitors were expected to pay fees for Trust-produced films they showed. Based on Edison's patent for the electric motor used in cameras and projectors, along with other patents, the Trust collected fees on all aspects of movie production and exhibition, and attempted to enforce a monopoly on distribution. It was believed that the productions were meant to be used for another company but the firm turned Universal down. more here

It's been awhile since I did not chat with my sister from Las Vegas. If I am not mistaken, I guess for over a month. We had a chat last Tuesday but only for some minutes because I was having a headache at that moment. She mentioned that she plans to have a vacation next year. I would like to suggest er to take a look at Branson vacation packages. She's never been to Branson there and for sure it would be nice for her to see and experience the place for the first time. I hope to chat with her again next week. Before I forgot it, I would like to greet all American friends for a happy celebration of Labor Day. I believed friends in the U.S. base nearby will have a four-day weekend off especially the soldiers. Hubby will also have an off on Monday. We will see what we can do. Have a great weekend ahead!

I am sorry folks! This is not really a perfect picture I took from inside of Paris Hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada. Beside that I am not a professional photographer, my camera is also not a good one. These pictures were not edited also. I still wish to visit Las Vegas next time to take better pictures of it. For now, just enjoy watching these images I took during my visit last 2008.
Paris Las Vegas is a hotel and casino located on the Las Vegas Strip in Paradise, Nevada, USA, that is owned and operated by Harrah's Entertainment. As its name suggests, its theme is the city of Paris in France; it includes a half scale, 541-foot-tall (164.6 m) replica of the Eiffel Tower, a sign in the shape of the Montgolfier balloon, a two-thirds size Arc de Triomphe, a replica of La Fontaine des Mers, and a 1,200-seat theatre called Le Théâtre des Arts. The front of the hotel suggests the Paris Opera House and the Louvre.

The Paris is linked via a promenade to its sister property, Bally's Las Vegas, through which it is linked to the Las Vegas Monorail. wikipedia

I just received a message in my Facebook account from my cousin in Las Vegas the other week. She was asking me when am I going to visit them again in Las Vegas. I also received another message from a friend in New York inviting me to visit them anytime I want. If I can find the cheapest flights online anytime this year, I might be flying to U.S.A. I just mentioned in my other site that a friend of mine from the U.S. will be visiting me this summer in Europe. I might end up flying with her back if I can find cheap flights to Chicago. She live near this city and this is where she will be boarding a plane in going to Europe.

Sometimes you can find good travel sites online where you can book a cheap flight anywhere around the world. One of the best site I visited is Travel Grove. They also have international sites in Germany, Italy, Spain, France, United Kingdom and the United States. I believed travelers who are in this country will find it very convenient for them to browse a site that is in their own language. I find it a very good idea.

Lastly, if I will be visiting New York, for sure I need a New York travel guide to know what are the main sights worth visiting in this city. I know one of my friends is living there right now but I am not quite sure if she know everything about New York beside that it is really a big city. I want to browse and go back again next week to travelgrove.com site. I just found their site very informative to a budget traveler like me. I just can't browse it this weekend because we will be out for a weekend trip again.

I am also sharing here a picture from Las Vegas. I took this photo in Caesars Palace Hotel during my vacation last 2008. Don't forget to visit Travel Grove if you are looking for cheap flights and hotel anywhere in the U.S.

Hey folks! How are you doing? I hope everything is under control despite the economic and financial crisis that is happening all over the world now. I believed some are still planning for a vacation getaway despite the crisis. Some might have the plan of visiting the world's famous Great Barrier Reef Resort located in Queensland, Australia. I never heard of this place until I visited a site some days ago. I also found a travel magazine featuring this island paradise. This resort is located within its own National Park in Orpheus Island. This name might be new to you but I guess after reading this post you might be given an idea where to spend your next vacation. Great Barrier Reef Accommodation in this island offers luxurious accommodation to its tourists and visitors. Melbourne's exclusive Sunday Age voted Great Barrier Reef Hotels among the "Top 10 Luxury Holidays".

I can't imagine spending a holiday here and go scuba diving, snorkeling, canoeing, fishing, cruising or simply go around the National Park and enjoy viewing the landscape and nature. I have seen some photos of Orpheus Island online and found the place truly a paradise. If I have the finances to travel now, I might visit this island to escape the cold spring time in Europe. I guess it is enough for dreaming now. Let me just share you other paradise from my home country. I am just imagining that I am in Orpheus while looking at this picture. I can't wait for some Europe tours this coming summer!

I just watch a news online telling that a Qatari diplomat named Mohammed Al-Madadi will fly back home tonight after scaring passengers of a US airline by slipping into the bathroom for a smoke and joked about trying to set his shoe on fire. I wish to find that news and maybe share it here. I will see.

Here is the picture taken during my my stop-over in Atlanta, Georgia last July 2008. I boarded Delta airways in going back to Europe. It seems raining outside! Happy weekend folks!

I only have memories left during my visit in Disneyland, California. Thanks to our technology for having a digital camera that can bring us back time by looking at the pictures. I miss riding the Ferris wheel in Paradise Pier, Disneyland. I know I can visit one of this place again anywhere in the world. In God's will! Amen! here is one of the pictures I took during my 2008 vacation in the U.S.

I dreamed a dream and that dream came true! Going and experiencing Las Vegas might be an awesome experience for many. This city fascinates me especially its buildings, hotels, architecture, statues and a lot more. Before the month of February ends, I would like to share this pictures inside Paris, Hotel in Las Vegas.

It's a great pleasure seeing one of the luxurious hotel in Las Vegas. Even I don't have the chance to stay in one of their luxury rooms, at least I had the chance to see it in person. This is one of the favorite hotels where I always hang-out, shop, play games, sightseeing and dine-out. I know I can't afford to stay in one of their rooms for now but I am happy that I had experience and witnessed things in this place. I already am already contented about it. When I win the lottery next time, I would probably check-in in this hotel..wink!! here I am inside Caesars Palace Hotel!Caesars Palace is a luxury hotel and casino located on the Las Vegas Strip in Paradise, Nevada, an unincorporated township in Clark County, Nevada, United States in the Las Vegas metropolitan area. Caesars Palace is owned and operated by Harrah's Entertainment. Caesars is located on the west side of the Strip, between the Bellagio and the Mirage.

It was a dream true Walking at The Red Carpet in Universal Studio in Los Angeles, California. I finally experienced seeing one of the famous cities in the world called the "City of Angels". I could not believed that. Thanks to my dear family and relatives for the great tour during my two months vacation in the US. I am sharing a picture as evidence of my travel..wink! More updates next time!

First of all, I would like to extend my warm regards to my sister and her Hubby, to my cousins and their family in Las Vegas. That was really a great time meeting you guys in Vegas. Obviously, you can see in my background the Eiffel Tower in Paris Hotel in Las Vegas. I can still keep all my memories in this place and the fun and enjoyment I had as I visited this city through the pictures that I took here.

I was trying to find the book I bought about Disneyland in California during our visit there last June 2008. It seems that I can't find it right now. I just thought of sharing this picture taken somewhere in Disneyland. Belated happy Valentines to everyone! Letting you know that I am slowly back in the blogosphere.
