![Don't try to see the zoo in a day. The zoo has 9 different animal zones and covers 100 acres in Balboa Park. If you only have one day to spend there you won't be able to see everything, especially if you have kids in tow. To make sure that you don't leave disappointed, check out the San Diego Zoo website before you show up and come up with a list of must-see attractions.

Taking the MTR Train to Hong Kong Disneyland
Posted on April 5, 2012 | 11 CommentsWhoever decided to put Hong Kong Disneyland and the new Hong Kong International Airport on the same island is brilliant. The result of this little nugget of transportation planning means that making the trip from downtown Hong Kong to the House of the Mouse could hardly be easier. The trip to Lantau Island takes a little over 30 minutes, which is about the same amount of time it would take to drive or take a cab and costs $24.50 hkd for adults and $12.50 hdk for concession (rates even lower if you use an Octopus card). -
Tutorial: How to Take Better Indoor Pictures Without a Flash
Posted on January 16, 2012 | 3 CommentsThe good news is that it is possible to take nice pictures without a flash.

Top Tips for Visiting Legoland California
Posted on January 4, 2012 | 5 CommentsWhile the park only really has 1 major thrill ride to satisfy big kids, there are plenty of small coasters, a target ride, a pirate themed splash zone, and many other well themed rides to keep kids from age 5 and up to the young teens entertained. And of course, adult fans of Lego (AFOL - there's actually an official club) and teenage fans of Lego will enjoy checking out the many Lego sculptures around the park. I would allow 2 full days to see everything. -
