New Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal Studios Orlando

Thursday, February 18th, 2010

You’ve shared his every adventure from printed page to the silver screen. Now you can join Harry Potter and his friends as you venture into a world where magic is real…and excitement knows no bounds.  It’s all at the new Wizarding World of Harry Potter to be revealed in Spring 2010 at Universal Studios Orlando in the Islands of Adventure park.  Pass through Hogwarts castle gates and explore the familiar passageways, classrooms and corridors. 

New Rides/Attractions

Experience new pulse-pounding rides.  On Dragon Challenge, you’ll need the courage of a Triwizard Tournament champion as you climb aboard one of two ferocious dragons that twist, loop and nearly collide in a high-speed, intertwining rollercoaster chase across the sky.  Each side provides a completely different ride.   On Flight of the Hippogriff, take off on a family friendly coaster that spirals and drives around the pumpkin patch and past Hagrid’s hut.   Last but not least, on Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey, experience a state of the art attraction that brings the magic, characters and stories of Harry Potter to life in ways never before imagined.  Make your way through the classrooms and corridors of Hogwarts.  Then soar above the castle grounds on a groundbreaking new ride that lets you join Harry Potter and his friends on an unforgettably thrilling adventure. 

Food & Drink:

Sample fare from the wizarding world’s best known establishments.  Dine at Three Broomsticks where you can choose from fish and chips, shepherd’s pie, soup, salads and tasty desserts.  At Hog’s Head, enjoy Butterbeer, pumpkin juice and other beverages while adults can also choose from a selection of domestic and imported beers, specialty drinks, wine, spirits and mixed drinks.  Visit the legendary Honeydukes for sweets including Bertie Bott’s Every-Flavour Beans, exploding bonbons, treacle fudge, Chocolate Frogs and more.

Shopping:

Shop for magical supplies and wizarding  equipment at Dervish and Banges. Browse confiscated items and purchase Hogwarts and Quidditch clothing, movie prop replicas, magical created toys and more at Flich’s Emporium of Confiscated Goods.  In Ollivanders, step inside the small dusty shop where a Wandkeeper will help the wand choose YOU.  Try different wands with unpredictable results in this interactive experience.  Send letters with a Bogsmeade postmark from the Owl Post or visit Zonko’s Joke Shop where you can browse a selection of novelty items and toys including Sneakoscope, Extendable Ears and more.

Keep in mind when you book a vacation package, some packages ensure you will have Early Park Admission to experience all the magic and excitement of the Wizarding World of Harry Potter.  Universal’s Islands of Adventure will open an hour early each day so guests can enjoy all three rides before the general publc…this can save you hours in line.  Call us for details.

Day Trips from Las Vegas

Saturday, January 2nd, 2010

j0444205Visiting Las Vegas and looking for things to do nearby? Here are some popular day trips.

Red Rock Canyon:  One of the most beautiful areas in Las Vegas, Red Rock Canyon is home to a 13 mile scenic byway drive through blazing red canyons only 19 miles west of town.  There are plenty of places to pull off and take pictures, or even take a hike through the Las Vegas Valley.

Bonnie Springs Ranch:  Nearly 20 miles west of Las Vegas near Red Rock Canyon lies Bonnie Spring Ranch.  Originally built in the 1840’s, it operated for decades as a working cattle ranch and watering hole. Nearby, visit Old Nevada, where visitors can get a taste of what life was lie in the 1880’s. Children will love the jaw-dropping gun fight reenactments, along with the petting zoo and mini-train ride.

Lake Mead:  With more than 550 miles of shoreline, Lake Mead is packed with year-round activities for the whole family.  One of the largest manmade lakes in the United States, it’s located just 27 miles southeast of Las Vegas.  Visitors will enjoy multiday houseboat rentals, Jet ski adventures and water sports such as fishing, boating, kayaking and waterskiing.  Also available are guided scuba diving tours in and around the Overton B-29 sight, where divers can explore the underwater wreckage of a World War II-era B-29 bomber.

Hoover Dam:  The Hover Dam is so vast that its masonry contents hold more than that of the Pyramid of Giza.  These and many other fascinating facts are available during regular Hoover Dam Discovery tours that explore the center and top of the dam.  Catching a tour is never a problem with guides available every 15 minutes.  No time for a guided tour? Check out the visitors center where you can learn all about the history of this manmade wonder through fascinating exhibits. Visitors yearning for some adventure can paddle or raft in kayaks, canoes and personal rafts down the Colorado River by putting in at the launch site below the dam.

Grand Canyon:  See the Grand Canyon by bus, airplane or helicopter tour.

White Water Rafting:  Rafting the Colorado River is one of the top adventures in the U.S.  Experience the thrill and fun of class 3 to 6 rapids.  Note: you have to wake up early (pick up is around 4 a.m.,) and then you don’t get back to the city until around 7 p.m.

Travel Attic: Sandals Antigua

Monday, December 14th, 2009

CB023856As a Certified Sandals Specialist, I have been fortunate enough to stay at most of the Sandals Resorts.

My favorite of all is Antigua.  The island of Antigua is beautiful and well kept.  One feels safe there because employment is usually 100% so you don’t feel like you will get robbed walking in St Johns, the capital. When touring the island, the  modest homes are not shabby and there are sugar mills and sites such as Nelson’s Dockyards which are rich in British history.  Another nice feature is that the airport is not far from Sandals unlike some of the other islands where you can drive two hours just to get there.

Once we arrived at Sandals, we were awed by the elegant yet casual ambiance and the amazing number of restaurants.  They have added more since we were there but the food and service are the best I’ve seen at any Sandals.  There’s a fine Italian restaurant, a pizzeria, Kimonos Grill, a sushi bar, Tex Mex, an authentic British pub, even a restaurant called Barefoot as you are sitting on the beach itself.  The Sandals beach is one of 365 beaches on the island and it is perfect.  Not too big or too small, it adjoins beaches of a couple of other resorts and the sand is fine and white.

All in all, Sandals Antigua holds many fond memories.
