One of my favorite places in the world

A shoppers paradise with high end shops galore. You name the designer shop, it's here. This street has one of the highest rents in the world according to Forbes!

You have to take a ferry to get here but it's worth it I've heard. There's an adventure park, a beautiful lighthouse and scenic gardens.

Located across the street from Roy Thomson Hall this luxury hotel will really pamper you. All the rooms have floor to ceiling windows with either city views or lake views.

This hotel offers both complimentary car service and bike valet where they will give you a free bike to rent to explore the city

If you're looking for entertainment this is your hotel. It's within walking distance of the Rogers Centre, the CN Tower and the Convention Center.

The Thompson Toronto has the only rooftop hotel pool in all of Toronto. It's not just a pool it's a bar and a swanky lounge.

This hotel opened just two years ago and has a 24 hour diner and it's own yoga studio. hit the diner, then hit the yoga.

This hotel is the King West village known for it's art galleries. The hotel is like a piece of art itself with it's modern sleek design.

Just recently the city council decided to use part of the river bank of the Arno for a nice relaxation spot in the summer. It's very close to the City Center and free to use.

In May 2008 engineers stabilized the leaning Tower. It stopped moving for the first time in its history. And engineers claim it will be stable for at least 200 years.

I sat on gum in the car and spent the entire time cleaning the seat.

Pisa is about an hours drive from Florence. The tower has lots of interesting history including... during World War II, the Allies discovered that the Germans were using the tower as an observation post.

This is the newest Waldorf Astoria and they have all the restaurants you'd find at the one in the NYC. This hotel is amazing, it's located in the center of 482 gorgeous acres in Bonnet Creek.

There are some really great day trips you can take from San Juan. I couple I've heard great things about are the El Yunque rainforest and famous Luquillo Beach. Also the Río Camuy Cave Park and the Arecibo. Or you can just kick back on the beach and relax to sound of some steel drums.

I heard a cool place to check out is Santurce. It's an trendy area with lots of art galleries and great night life.

This hip hotel just had 220 million dollar renovation. It has no less than 6 restauratns and one of them Perla, is in the signature floating seashell you see in this photo...

This surfers paradise is framed on one end by the Rincón Lighthouse, and on the other by huge dome shaped nuclear reactor from the 1960s. Don't worry all the nuclear material has long been removed and whats left is an awesome surf spot!

This isn't a resort hotel but if you're looking for b&b, check this place out. It's about a five to ten minute walk to the beach and I've some good things about their breakfasts.

I've heard the The Panza restaurant located in this hotel is excellent. It's Puerto Rican food but with an international flavor.

My honeymoon was here :)

This is an awesome resort hotel on peninsula with it's own secluded beach. They have hammocks right on the shore where you can enjoy the Caribbean ocean air.

Dining

This first class resort has a great kids program. It's almost like a camp for kids ages 5-12 with everything for sports to art to tons of other activities.

This is hotel is a sports enthusiasts dream. They have a ton of complimentary gear if you stay there...everything from snorkel gear, to tennis racquets to kayaks.

The resort hotel is about five minutes from the historic downtown. They have stunning views of the marina and casino in the hotel is you wanna test your luck.

This walking tour promises to take you off the beaten path to show you some real Puerto Rican culture, history and some tours even have a food tasting!

Climb it!

Climbed the pylon and got great shots of the Opera House.

This is a steel arch bridge that extends across Sydney Harbor. It's the iconic image of Sydney and locals have dubbed it the "The Coathanger" because of its arch design.

Sydney's best hotel, the Park Hyatt, with that fabulous Opera House view. For a 10-day itinerary, click thru

Here's my criteria for a worthy splurge: a great hotel (with a spa) that has windows that go from ceiling to floor and oh, just happen to give you a perfect view of the Sydney Opera House.

This hotel just re-opened after a multi-million dollar renovation. They hired famous Australian artists and commissioned them to create paintings and sculptures just for this hotel!

Seen that whenever on the train from Milson's Point to Wynyard and vice versa.

SOON!

Seven million people visit this site each year, 300,000 of which take a guided tour. There also probably at least a few lost tourists who don't take the tour and think this is worst zoo they've ever been to.

Begin a day at Bondi Beach - spend the afternoon at the Sydney Opera house. It's ideal.

The Opera House is also a first in mechanical engineering. It has an air conditioning system that uses the harbor water to cool the inside of the building! So cool! Couldn't resist the pun!

The outside of this building was actually used as the setting of the tri-atholons of the 2000 summer olympics

it was awesome

Always good to visit

The design here is called modern expressionist. It cost over 100 million dollars to build this Opera house! It is stunning!

1998, 1999, 2002, 2010 ... Masterpiece

There are actually mutiple performing venues here. It's also one of the busiest venues in the world with over 1000 performances a year that are attended by over a 1 million people! I can't wait to be one of them!

Another world class playground for all ages!

Australia!!!

This performing arts venue was conceived in the 1950s but wasn't actually built until the 1970s. In 2003 it won the Pritzker Prize, architecture's highest honor!

There is a huge park that surrounds this palace that was built by King Ferdinand I. It is full of windy trails and has maze like feel!

Great views and photo ops up here. worth it for sure.

this used to be the summer residence of the Royal Family. If you love beautiful stucco art, this is the place to see it!

Great views and photo ops up here. worth it for sure.

I want go to China in this year

This national monument is considered one of the major expressions of 19th century Romanticism in the world. Also there is a canon here that used to fire everyday at noon in the 1800s.

Great views and photo ops up here. worth it for sure.

On a clear day you can see this Palace from Lisbon. It's considered one of the 7 wonders of Portugal!

One of my favorite sites in Portugal. We rented electric bikes and rode them all around the hills. The were supposed to help us get up the hills, but for those of that were heavier it ended up being a serious workout.

This is considered the best preserved medieval Royal Palace in Portugal. It was inhabited pretty much continuously from the early 15th up to the late 19th century.

Sintra has become one of the most popular daytrips from Lisbon. Just don't travel there during rush hour. Sintra has some of the worst traffic in Europe!

Here you'll find futuristic architecture that completely contrasts what you'll see in the rest of Lisbon. Most of there futuristic buildings were built for Expo 98.

This monument sits right in the harbor. It was built in 1939 by Portuguese architect José Ângelo Cottinelli Telmo, and sculptor Leopoldo de Almeida, as a temporary monument during the Portuguese World Fair in 1940. It still stands today as is a very popular tourist site.

This monument is right along the Tagus river. This is the spot where ships used to depart to explore and trade with India and Orient. This monument is celebrating the Portuguese Age of Exploration during the 15th and 16th centuries.
