It’s been awhile since I visited New York. I actually think I’ve talked about my New York tours before, but I don’t think I told you about my fun trip in New York. It was actually kind of hilarious.

I didn’t know New York that well at the time, but I was in college, I was young, and most of all, I was naive. I was there in New York City with my 1986 Ford Escort and I was trying to find my way around town. I ended up in a particularly rough part of the city and I had to ask for directions from the homies on the block. It must have been funny seeing a North Dakota university student lost in New York City.

I eventually found a hotel and decided to check in. Imagine how naive I was when they asked me how many hours i wanted to rent it for. I was like, well, I don’t know how much sleep I need. Maybe 8 hours? The clerk looked at me very strangely. I don’t know if they had ever seen a naive North Dakota university student before.

The next day, I hit as many of the tourist spots as I could. I even took a ride out to the Statue of Liberty. I also had a chance to see the World Trade Centers, Wall Street and Times Square. After hearing about the Top of the Rock, I sure wish it would have been open when I was there, but I still had a great time.

When I think about the fun I had there, I wish I could go back and visit New York once again. This time I would get the help of Trusted Tours and Attractions and their online travel guides. There’s a lot of information available. Speaking of them, if you sign up for their travel enewsletter, you have a chance to win a $150 Magellan’s gift certificate. Sounds like a good deal.

Summer vacations are always a great thrill and provide a needed break from the hustle, bustle and stress of daily life. It’s a chance to spend time with friends or family in a carefree environment. When I think of summer vacations, I remember one particular trip to San Francisco that was a real treat.

There are many things to do in San Francisco and the summertime is the best time to visit it. The weather is cool and it feels like a natural air conditioner. You never get too hot going from tourist place to tourist place.

It was so awesome to see the many great places to see there are in San Francisco, such as Fisherman’s Wharf and Alcatraz Island. I personally loved the museums and Chinatown. A short drive south is Silicon Valley and I made the side trip. It was a blast seeing the cradle of the Digital World.

It’s been awhile since I’ve been there but I am hoping we can make it down there this summer. We still got a month. If we do, we will check out Trusted Tours & Attractions. They have got great tours and can help with things as diverse as New York City tours or things to do in Las Vegas.

Speaking of Trusted Tours & Attractions. They are currently running awesome promotion where if you sign up for their travel newsletter, you can have a chance to win a $150 gift card for Itunes.

I love talking about my vacation experiences. They are always a lot of fun to share and I get a lot of feedback in my email from friends and family about them. I think I have been more places than many other people so I have a unique perspective of a place, especially a city like New York City.

I love visiting New York. I have been able to visit New York on several occasions. I remember on my first trip to New York City, I didn’t know about any things to do in New York, but I didn’t let that daunt me. I am not usually one who seeks out city tours when I travel, but that trip was an exception. I looked into New York City tours and took a tour of Broadway and other sites.

I was just really amazed about the things I was able to see in New York. I even made a trip on the Staten Island Ferry and alsomade a trip to Ellis Island. It was great seeing all of the names and just feeling the hopes and dreams of millions of people sorrounding me. I couldn’t help but be proud to be an American. That pride grew when I went to se the Statue of Liberty. She truly is a beautiful lady.

I’d like to go back to visit New York City again, this time with my family. I want my kids to experience the same feelings I did. I will definitely check out Trusted Tours & Attractions and their online travel guides, just like I did when I wanted to know about things to do in Las Vegas. They have got great discounted tickets. You can even have a chance to win a GPS from them (until June 30th, 2008) just for signing up for their travel newsletter.
