Vine and Dine: Small-Group Luxury Wine Tour from San Francisco
Tour / Activity
My Rating: 
Location: San Francisco, California
My Review: It was a wonderful day in Wine Country. The Michael Mondavi estate is beautiful – great place to enjoy a tasting or have a full glass on the fantastic porch overlooking the vineyard! Yountville is a really cute town – great place for lunch. Our guide was super nice and helpful, and traveling over the Golden Gate Bridge is a gorgeous way to start and end the tour! The small-group aspect is definitely the way to go.

Las Vegas Double-Decker Bus of the Stars
Tour / Activity
My Rating:
Location: Las Vegas, Nevada
My Review: The Double-Decker Bus of the Stars is a blast! Sitting on the top deck, our views of the Vegas Strip were awesome. We drove past the Bellagio Fountains, the Paris hotel, New York-New York and everything in between. The Elvis impersonator was fantastic and hilarious – everyone sings along and has a great time. Highly recommend doing the nighttime tour as a precursor to your night out on the town!

Atlantis Casino & Hotel
Attraction
My Rating: 
Location: Nassau
My Review: This place is both absurd and kind of amazing at the same time. The over-the-top, kitschy, crowded, Disneyland-esque atmosphere is not my kind of travel, but it is worth going over for an evening to browse the expansive landscaping, the aquarium and the casino. The Casino has several Dale Chihuly glass sculptures that are beautiful. The aquarium is fun -- manta rays, sting rays, tropical fish, turtles, etc. I think you usually have to pay anywhere from $39 to $69 to tour the aquarium during the day. I went in the evening, and there was no one around to check wristbands or anything, so we went right in. It's underground. The Marina Village shopping area is crowded and full of kids running around, but it's not a bad place to grab a drink or some Ben and Jerry's and listen to the guy playing the steel drums. It's also the place to gawk at the enormous yachts in the Atlantis marina.

Pirates of Nassau
Attraction
My Rating: 
Location: Nassau
My Review: The Pirates of Nassau Museum is fun. It's a short activity that you can do one morning before it gets too hot and you go to the beach. It's very interesting -- the history of Pirates in the Bahamas is well-depicted and there are lots of little trivia questions to answer along the way. At $12, it was worth it.

Straw Market
Attraction
My Rating: 
Location: Nassau
My Review: This place is a zoo. If you want to trip over people, deal with crowds and sweat a LOT, then spend time here. You can find some nice straw bags and hats, but there's a lot of tacky designer knockoff bags, as well. You can find straw bags and hats elsewhere, like at the foot of the Queen's Staircase or at the fisherman's wharf.

Nassau Snorkel Bahamas Adventure
Tour / Activity
My Rating:
Location: Nassau, Bahamas
My Review: This snorkel tour is really worth doing. I've snorkeled in many places in North America, the Caribbean, Central America and Australia, and this was one of my very favorite snorkeling experiences. The water is impossibly clear and the tropical fish are fabulous. Colorful, cute, varied in size and patterns...they're truly beautiful. The tour operator is efficient -- the check-in process and all that is organized and easy. The facility is nice, as well. A good shop and places to relax and have a snack or an ice cream before or after. I'd do it again in a heartbeat!

San Juan Islands from Seattle
Travel Recommendation
Location: Seattle
My Recommendation Tip:
The San Juan Islands archipelago is a group of islands north of Seattle. To get there, drive to Anacortes, about 75 miles north of Seattle (1.5-hour drive). Then take the ferry to Friday Harbor on San Juan Islands. There are more islands, including Orcas Island, that are popular. San Juan Island is the busiest, I think, and has the cute little town of Friday Harbor. In Friday Harbor, walk around, eat a delicious seafood lunch and take a whale-watching cruise. Seeing killer whales (orcas) out in the water is amazing. It's a great day trip, or you stay on the islands for a little getaway.

Kings Park & Botanic Garden
Attraction
My Rating:
Location: Perth
My Review: Kings Park is a gorgeous part of Perth. It sits right on the Swan River and looks over downtown. It's great for picnics, reading a book, hanging out, whatever... And there's a nice tree-top walk kind of thing with cool bridges.

Cottesloe Beach
Attraction
My Rating:
Location: Perth
My Review: Cottesloe is one of Perth's most popular beaches - it always seems to be crowded, but for good reason. It's really pretty, the sand is soft and the water is gorgeous. There's a lot of grass, which is great for having picnics if you don't want to get sandy.
