Family Destination Travel Agent Expert

Stepping into Universal Orlando Resort is like entering a realm where imagination knows no bounds. My recent journey to this enchanting destination was a whirlwind of thrills, magical encounters, and unforgettable experiences that transcended the ordinary.The adventure began at Universal Studios Florida, where the iconic archway welcomed me to a world of movie magic. Roaming through the streets of Hollywood, I marveled at the intricate details that brought famous films to life. The immersive rides, such as the Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit and Transformers: The Ride 3D, seamlessly blended cutting-edge technology with heart-pounding excitement.Next on the agenda was Islands of Adventure, a realm of fantasy and adventure that beckoned with its iconic attractions. The Wizarding World of Harry Potter stole the show, as I strolled through Hogsmeade village, sipped on butterbeer, and soared above Hogwarts Castle on the incredible Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey ride. The attention to detail in this magical world left me spellbound.Venturing into Universal's Volcano Bay, a tropical oasis awaited me with its serene beaches and thrilling water attractions. The Krakatau Aqua Coaster took me on a breathtaking journey through the heart of the mighty Krakatau volcano, while the lazy river winding through the lush landscape provided a more relaxed escape.As the sun set, Universal CityWalk beckoned with its vibrant nightlife, eclectic dining options, and lively entertainment. From fine dining at Emeril's Orlando to savoring a butterbeer ice cream at Florean Fortescue's Ice-Cream Parlour, the culinary delights at CityWalk catered to every taste bud.The grand finale awaited at Universal's Islands of Adventure, where I discovered the extraordinary land of Jurassic Park. The Jurassic Park River Adventure offered a heart-pounding encounter with prehistoric giants, and the new VelociCoaster promised an adrenaline-fueled ride through the paddocks of velociraptors.The journey through Universal Orlando Resort was not just about rides and attractions; it was a celebration of creativity, innovation, and the joy of shared experiences. The live shows, character meet-and-greets, and the ever-present sense of wonder made every moment special.Leaving Universal Orlando was bittersweet, as the memories of thrilling adventures and magical moments lingered. The resort's ability to transport visitors to fantastical realms, combined with its commitment to delivering unparalleled entertainment, makes it a destination that appeals to the young and the young at heart. As I departed, I couldn't help but reflect on the timeless allure of Universal Orlando and the promise of future adventures that awaited those who dare to dream.

<p>Quebec indeed boasts a unique blend of cultural influences that set it apart from the rest of Canada.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Let’s explore some of its distinctive features:French Culture: Quebec’s rich French heritage is woven into its language, cuisine, and traditions. French is the official language, and you’ll hear it spoken in everyday life, from street signs to conversations at cafés.</p>
<p>European Flavor in Quebec City: Quebec City, the provincial capital, exudes a charming European ambiance. Its cobbled streets, historic architecture, and the iconic Château Frontenac evoke a sense of Old World charm. Strolling through the fortified walls of Old Quebec feels like stepping back in time.</p>

The city’s festivals, including the renowned Montreal Jazz Festival, attract visitors from around the globe.</p>
<p>Geographical Diversity: Quebec’s vastness encompasses diverse landscapes, from the rugged beauty of Gaspé Peninsula to the Laurentian Mountains and the picturesque Charlevoix region. Nature enthusiasts can explore national parks, fjords, and pristine lakes.</p>
<p>Distinctive Cuisine: Poutine, tourtière, and maple syrup are quintessential Quebecois delights. Don’t miss the chance to savor these culinary treasures. And yes, poutine—a delightful concoction of fries, cheese curds, and gravy—is a must-try!</p>
<p>Bilingualism: While French is dominant, many Quebecers are bilingual. You’ll find signs, menus, and services offered in both languages.If you’re ever in Quebec, immerse yourself in its unique blend of history, culture, and natural beauty.

Over the years, Jason has booked many hotels, and airbnbs for us at our yearly North Myrtle escape. Always gets a reasonable price, and a great accomodation.
Mo - Myrtle Beach ~ South Carolina ~ USA
Went to The Strong National Museum of Play in Rochester and Children&#39;s Museum of Oswego (CMOO). Both were phenominal. They each had local flavor such as Wegman&#39;s at Strong, and local farm at CMOO. Jason got us a great deal on both! Thank you
