Visiting Houston with a CityPass

Houston, Texas, was to our minds just a stop-off point before going to the west (California) for a one-month trip through the National Parks. We chose Houston because that’s where we were applying for our Chinese visas. If it wasn’t possible there (as we are not nationals and don’t have a permanent residence in the […]

Our experience at Johnson Space Center in Houston

Johnson Space Center in Houston is NASA’s headquarters and one of the main attractions in Houston, where history was made… and it’s obviously famous for … Houston we have a problem. We had already had a great experience at Kennedy Space Center in Florida, where I satisfied my hunger for knowledge and information about space […]

New Orleans, for one night only…

New Orleans, for one night only – we wish it could have been more. Our journey to Houston started in Orlando, and as it is a long drive we decided to make two stops on the way. One was close to the wonderful Grayton Beach, while the second one was in New Orleans. We were […]

Grayton Beach

Our journey to Grayton Beach didn’t start in the best possible way. When we travelled from Orlando, where we had spent a fantastic week enjoying the theme parks, the closest (and most affordable) stop for us before Grayton was a city called Marianna. We found a motel for a good price and we didn’t need […]

Crystal River and the manatees

Swimming with the Crystal River manatees was one of Ruth’s “many wishes” on our USA trip. One by one I had to ignore her wishes for budget reasons or because of the location (or just for spite 🙂 ) but this was a nice one that was worth the trip and later we realized that […]

A Magic day at Magic Kingdom

This is written at the entrance of Magic Kingdom: “We believe in our idea: a family park where parents and children could have fun together“. This sentence from Walt Disney says everything about our feelings and those of many other families at Magic Kingdom that day. It was a very hot day and we knew […]

Legoland Florida experience

A Legoland Florida experience – after a great experience at Animal Kingdom Noah was really looking forward to this day, particularly because he loves to play with Lego. I’m not sure what exactly he was expecting though … He probably thought we were going to a place with a room full of mini Lego or […]

Animal Kingdom experience

Animal Kingdom experience – one of the four theme parks at World Disney World in Orlando – is a much smaller park than Magic Kingdom. We therefore weren’t too concerned about arriving there late, but we shouldn´t have arrived as late as we did. It was almost 1 o´clock when we left our car at […]

Kennedy Space Center Experience

NASA’s Kennedy Space Center … That´s the dream of many kids who want to be an astronaut one day … I was one of them a long time ago. That feeling followed me for some time until I was in college when I chose a different career – definitely something easier and less technical 🙂 […]

Crowne Plaza Orlando Universal: our experience

Crowne Plaza Orlando Universal Studios: our home for the first 2 nights in Orlando. While this is an executive hotel, welcoming many business visitors that come to town, it is also an ideal place for families planning to stay close to the major parks in Orlando such as Universal Studios Orlando, Walt Disney World, Epcot […]
