Recently we visited Disney Springs, Disney’s Hollywood Studios and The Magic Kingdom. We were lucky with the weather and although armed with Niagara Falls Ponchos they weren’t required. For a UK visitor beginning of September proved to be a good time to visit. The schools are back so the parks were quieter and mostly adults with small children were the guests. We actually got on … Continue reading Walt Disney World Florida
After breakfast in the Mandarin which was $7 for coffee, $12 for two sausages or $35 for the buffet. It was good though. We navigated our way through the Copley Plaza Mall to take a Duck Tour around Boston. I wasn’t sure about this choice to be honest because of the recent disaster in Missouri but the ceiling of the vehicle was loaded with life … Continue reading Boston 23 Aug – Brand USA
So as memories begin to fade I now have the opportunity to get down on a page what happened on 22 August in Boston. Our luxury transport took us from the fantastic Four Seasons along Boylston to the equally welcoming Mandarin Oriental so that we could have our bags stored until our return to check in. The first port of call was Fenway Park, home … Continue reading Boston 22 August – Brand USA

The Boston Convention and Visitors Bureau pulled out all the stops in hosting our small group. There was a very large mini bus with blacked out windows waiting for us at Boston Back Bay Station. The very smartly dressed driver helped us load our luggage into the back as we took our seats to the Four Seasons Hotel on Boylston Street. Arriving at the Four … Continue reading Boston 21 August- Brand USA
I know this is out of order and I still need to finish the Boston blogs but here I sit ‘again’ in Gatwick departures with my nearest and dearest waiting to board British Airways to Fort Lauderdale. We are staying in Champions Gate in a four bedroomed, three bathroom house with spa, pool and playroom. We have access to the resort facilities that include a … Continue reading Florida Vacay – 01 Sep – 10 Sep 18
I keep mentioning Brand USA without explanation. This is marketing arm of Visit USA and is currently funded with the $14 ESTA fee that all eligible visitors pay to allow them to travel to the States. They offer itineraries and suggestions with links to states and cities for planning. It is a resource for us all. All activity is reported back to the Capital and … Continue reading Brand USA
An early check out from Arlo Soho and Ubers’ to Penn Station was the order of the day. The ornate and rather grand building that everyone knows as Penn Station is a facade as the station is all below ground. Serving 650,000 commuter and Amtrak travellers daily it is the busiest transit hub in the Western Hemisphere. Located in Midtown Manhattan near the Empire State … Continue reading New York to Boston Amtrak – Brand USA
I know space is at a premium in New York and it really interested me how very small spaces are used to park as many cars as possible. Some times up to three stories high. I never did see what they do to bring down a car parked above another but I hope that the guys moving them around are fully insured. The traffic … Continue reading New York Parking and Petrol
There was a small group of 7 soon to be 8 travel professionals on a visit to both New York and Boston. First was New York on August 19 and 20. In New York accommodation was at the quirky boutique hotel Arlo Hotel Soho. Located right by the Holland Tunnel entrance and nearby Canal Street Metro stop. Transfers were mainly by Uber. I have never been in … Continue reading New York-Brand USA Visit
