Travel is more of a passion to me rather than just a hobby and I love to travel across the globe. Though travel is my passion but I don’t want to travel full time as I love my job, my family and my friends very much. I can’t think of leaving all of these and set out for travel across the globe. Unlike many travelers I don’t like to stay in hostels or traveling in 3rd class so money is a big factor for me . .

I go out for vacation at least 4-5 times a year to various places. A few months back I went to New Orleans for couple of weeks and it was a great trip with loads of fun and relaxation..

I went to New Orleans with one of my girlfriend, Ivy; who loves to travel as me and was thinking of going somewhere for a long time and when I told her about my plan she was more than happy to join me.

I believe that holidays are for meeting new people and chlling out with friends rather than exploring as many places as you can. Before traveling anywhere I do lot of research about good hotels, things to do, local transportations and history of the place. After doing thorough reasearch I book my hotel, flight tickets and tickets for other attractions as well. Most of the time if you book your ticket well in advance you get a better deal than booking at the last minute. A few years back I had visited Eiffel tower and didn’t book my ticket in advance and as a result I had to stand for more than 3 hours in the queue and after that incident I always prefer to book my tickets in advance.

We went to New Orleans in July this year. Our flight landed at Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport at 2 o’clock in the afternoon; from there we took a taxi to our hotel, The Ritz-Carlton. Our hotel was located nearly 12 miles from the airport and one way trip costs $20. You can also book a round trip for just $38 at the airport. The airport shuttle will pick you up at least 3 hours in advance of the departure flight. When we reached our hotel it was around 3:30 PM and we were very tired so after having a sandwich I went to my room to had a good sleep.

In the evening we didn’t do much as we were very tired so we decided to take a walk and explore the nearby areas. Our New Orleans hotel was situated in the French Quarter, which is the most famous area of the city. French Quarter has many historic buildings and is a National Historic Landmark. During the Spanish rule this area was known as Vieux Carr© and many historic buildings were built during the Spanish rule. I loved the area and decided to explore it further before leaving the city. We decided to have our dinner at a local restaurant named, Angeli. It was a small Greek restaurant which serves delicious food at a very reasonable rate.

After we finished our dinner we headed to our hotel as next day we had to wake up early to go to New Orleans School of Cooking to learn how to cook local dishes like Gumbo, Jambalaya, Shrimp Creole and few more other dishes. We have booked our classes from 10 AM 12:30PM and it cost us $29 per person. As I had heard a lot about this class so didn’t want to miss the experience.

After coming back from our trip I invited few of my friends to taste few traditional Louisiana cuisine that I had learned from my cooking class in New Orleans and every body loved my food.. I am currently planning to attend the Tomatina event, where people throw tomatoes at each other, in Spain very soon.

For the last couple of months, I was thinking of going on a holiday for few days with my friends leaving my two kids, Jimmie 10 and Sarah 7 with their dad. I can’t even remember when was the last time I went out with my friends.

Before I had kids I used to go on hiking, river rafting, diving and many other adventurous trips but after I became a full time mummy I stopped doing all these things and became busy with my two lovely kids and a caring husband.

About 3 months back Emmy came to my house and asked me that she is planning a trip to New Orleans with our old college friends and if I am willing to join them . It was such a good oppourtunity hang out with my friends once again, but I was little worried about kids and whether Justin, my husband will be able to take care of them or not but when Justin assured me, I called Emmy and told her that I am joining her.

It was my first trip to New Orleans but I had heard a lot about it. New Orleans is well known for its nightlife and Bourbon Street is the entertainment venue for those who love Jazz and partying late. Bourbon Street is popular among party goers. Pubs, bars and nightclubs are lined on both side of the street which is almost 1 mile long and we will find Jazz music being played by bands in almost every establishments.

I love Jazz so we went to a Jazz club named, Bombay club which is located in French quarter and is an upscale restaurant serving delicious food and amazing Jazz music. We stayed there till 12 and then we went to some nightclub in Bourbon Street and stayed there quite late. I would like to give you few safety tips about Bourbon street – Do not carry or wear valuables, always stay in group and do not go to desereted lanes.

Next day we went to Spa Atlantis after having a late breakfast. Since it is a very popular spa so we had booked our session a couple of weeks back. I would recommend that if you are in New Orleans then take some time off and visit this Spa. The spa treatments are slightly expensive then other spa houses that I have attended but their quality of service makes for their prices.

After our spa treatment we decided to go to Garden District which was built in 1830s and is popular for its 19^th century mansions. In Garden city we took a guided tour and enjoyed every moment of it. We saw Sandra Bullock’s house, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button’s house, Commander’s Palace and many more other notable houses.

We became very tired after our tour to Garden city so we headed to our hotel to take some rest. After I returned to my room I called home and spoke with my kids and Justin. I was very worried about them as I was not sure Justin will take care of them or not but he is doing great and kids are enjoying their time with their dad as they had never been able to spend much time with their dad as Justin spends most of his time on business travel.

Next morning we left New Orleans and went to De Sota National park to participate in some adventure sports.

As outlined by a report in CNN, research have demonstrated that taking a vacation and going to a new destination may actually increase your creative thinking abilities. Have you been feeling like your creativity is going down and you are also unenthusiastically going through the motions at work? This is an indicator that your brain needs a break.

So why do you should visit a new location?

You may have noticed that when you find yourself in a tricky situation, a friend or an outsider is frequently able to offer good advice. The reason is that they can look at the circumstances from a distance and examine the whole picture. Taking a trip to a fresh place may help you get a healthy perspective on your routine activities and then make alterations for the better. To get the full benefits of a vacation, just taking a couple of days off from work is insufficient, a change of location is also vital.

When you visit a completely new place that has a way of life quite different from your own, even routine activities get you thinking. As an example, a simple visit to a restaurant will set your mind humming with a number of questions like, “what will be the specialties here?”, “should I include a tip to the server or not?”, “how much should I tip?” and numerous others. To get the most from your vacation to a different destination, the secret is to observe the locals and find a fresh perspective of looking at the world. All you have to do is take an interest and find something new in everything close to you. A vacation helps put your mind in the proper frame of mind to achieve this. If you are looking for a location to relax and recharge your batteries, Boyne Falls in Michigan is a wonderful option.

What makes Boyne Falls a great holiday destination?

Regardless of whether you desire a tranquil, relaxed trip or prefer to engage in some extreme winter sports, Boyne Falls has something for everyone. The small town has much to offer in terms of activities. All the activities are around the majestic Boyne Mountain.

If winter months are best for skiing and snowboarding, summer in Boyne Falls is ideal for cycling, hiking or simply relaxing and taking rest in the beauty of nature. You can even choose to get pampered and relieve your aching muscles at a spa. You may also enjoy live music and cocktails at one of the town’s nightlife hot spots. There are several resorts, for instance bluegreen, that provide luxurious accommodations. With a number of fine dining options, places to shop, an indoor water park, 2 golf courses and miles of cross country trails and hiking paths, you can’t go wrong with this ski resort.
