Universal Parks (Studios) Travel Agent Expert

Stepping into Universal Orlando Resort is like entering a realm where imagination knows no bounds. My recent journey to this enchanting destination was a whirlwind of thrills, magical encounters, and unforgettable experiences that transcended the ordinary.The adventure began at Universal Studios Florida, where the iconic archway welcomed me to a world of movie magic. Roaming through the streets of Hollywood, I marveled at the intricate details that brought famous films to life. The immersive rides, such as the Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit and Transformers: The Ride 3D, seamlessly blended cutting-edge technology with heart-pounding excitement.Next on the agenda was Islands of Adventure, a realm of fantasy and adventure that beckoned with its iconic attractions. The Wizarding World of Harry Potter stole the show, as I strolled through Hogsmeade village, sipped on butterbeer, and soared above Hogwarts Castle on the incredible Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey ride. The attention to detail in this magical world left me spellbound.Venturing into Universal's Volcano Bay, a tropical oasis awaited me with its serene beaches and thrilling water attractions. The Krakatau Aqua Coaster took me on a breathtaking journey through the heart of the mighty Krakatau volcano, while the lazy river winding through the lush landscape provided a more relaxed escape.As the sun set, Universal CityWalk beckoned with its vibrant nightlife, eclectic dining options, and lively entertainment. From fine dining at Emeril's Orlando to savoring a butterbeer ice cream at Florean Fortescue's Ice-Cream Parlour, the culinary delights at CityWalk catered to every taste bud.The grand finale awaited at Universal's Islands of Adventure, where I discovered the extraordinary land of Jurassic Park. The Jurassic Park River Adventure offered a heart-pounding encounter with prehistoric giants, and the new VelociCoaster promised an adrenaline-fueled ride through the paddocks of velociraptors.The journey through Universal Orlando Resort was not just about rides and attractions; it was a celebration of creativity, innovation, and the joy of shared experiences. The live shows, character meet-and-greets, and the ever-present sense of wonder made every moment special.Leaving Universal Orlando was bittersweet, as the memories of thrilling adventures and magical moments lingered. The resort's ability to transport visitors to fantastical realms, combined with its commitment to delivering unparalleled entertainment, makes it a destination that appeals to the young and the young at heart. As I departed, I couldn't help but reflect on the timeless allure of Universal Orlando and the promise of future adventures that awaited those who dare to dream.

Ireland Travel Agent Expert

Ireland is like stepping into a storybook where lush landscapes, ancient ruins, and warm hospitality blend seamlessly. A trip to the Emerald Isle is a captivating experience that leaves you enchanted by its beauty and rich cultural heritage.Arriving in Dublin, the capital city, you are immediately immersed in a vibrant atmosphere. The city's cobblestone streets echoed with the lively sounds of traditional Irish music drifting from cozy pubs.

The Cliffs of Moher emerged majestically from the Atlantic Ocean, standing as a testament to nature's awe-inspiring power. The sheer cliffs, reaching heights of almost 700 feet, provided a dramatic backdrop against the crashing waves and offered panoramic views of the Aran Islands. Exploring the Wild Atlantic Way, one stumbles upon quaint villages like Doolin, known for its traditional Irish music scene, and the colorful town of Kinsale, famous for its seafood and historic architecture. Each stop was a chance to savor local flavors and connect with the warm-hearted locals.One of the highlights of a trip is a visit to the ancient passage tomb of Newgrange in County Meath. Built over 5,000 years ago, this prehistoric monument is older than Stonehenge and the Egyptian pyramids. Stepping inside the darkened chamber during the winter solstice, one witnesses a magical play of light as the sun illuminating the inner chamber through a perfectly aligned passage.

No visit to Ireland is complete without delving into its rich literary history. Spend an afternoon at the picturesque village of Dingle, soaking in the inspiration that permeates the air. It was easy to see why so many poets, writers, and artists have drawn inspiration from the country's mystical landscapes. As our journey through Ireland come to an end, one is left with a heart full of memories and a deep appreciation for the country's timeless beauty. Ireland's welcoming spirit, combined with its stunning scenery and rich history, makes it a destination that lingers in the soul long after the journey concludes.

Childrens Museum & Strong Museum of Play

Went to The Strong National Museum of Play in Rochester and Children's Museum of Oswego (CMOO). Both were phenominal. They each had local flavor such as Wegman's at Strong, and local farm at CMOO. Jason got us a great deal on both! Thank you

Savings in Rome Italy

Jason used the public transporation system in Rome Italy (especially the trains) to get around, meet locals and save tons of money. For example is was less than $20 for two total to get from Rome (city) to the cruise port on the train. It would have been over $ 100 or more otherwise.
