  • When most people think of Las Vegas the first things that come to mind are gambling, general debauchery, eating, and shopping. When I go to Vegas I will typically touch on each of those points, plus I will always try to get in some great roller coaster action. At the top of my list is the Manhattan Express at the New York New York Hotel and Casino. A very close second is the Desperado at Buffalo Bills in Primm Nevada.Primm is about a 45 minute drive from the Vegas Strip and is located right at the Nevada California border on the I15.

  • Opened in 1972, the Cross Harbour Tunnel allowed the first road to run between Hong Kong Island and Kowloon. Prior to that all traffic to and from the main financial centre of Hong Kong had to go by ferry. On my way back from the Hong Kong Museum of History I headed towards the Hung Hom MTR station which included an elevated walkway providing a unique view of the Kowloon tunnel entrance.

  • Venice truly is one of the most beautiful cities in the world. While I can't wait to go back there, I will get a chance to visit fake Venice in the very near future. Fake Venice for the most part looks pretty authentic with cast iron (looking) lamps and stone (or is that plaster) signs with either ancient latin or some random latin-like text.

  • One of my favorite places to visit near Seattle is the Museum of Flight near Boeing Field in Seattle. If you love airplanes this is a great place to catch up on the history of aviation near where commercial airlines began. This is the largest air and space museum in the world and while I've visited this museum twice I still have not seen it all!

  • I'm not sure why I didn't know about this place until last year, but the Woodland Park Zoo is a must visit in Seattle. While it isn't really the biggest and the best at any one thing, it is really really good overall. It's clean, modern, educational and sensitive to the fact that animals are kept there.
