Jurong Bird Park in Singapore is a massive bird-lovers paradise. Contained within the park is the largest indoor aviary in the world, giant waterfall included, where exotic birds can eat their lunch out of your hand. Awesome!

The Katoomba Scenic Railway, built in the late 1800s at the Blue Mountains of Australia, is still the steepest incline railway in the world, transporting passengers down through a canyon cliffside, into a lush ancient rainforest and back up before dinnertime.

GO THERE! A panoramic view of the past…
Saturday, January 15, 2022
Ever wonder what it’s like to live in ancient times? Well, artist Yadegar Asisi’s fantastically intricate panoramic displays are so massive, they might make you feel a little like that guy from Assassin’s Creed. His most recent project, on display at the Pergamon Museum in Berlin, takes us back to the ancient city’s heyday, 129 AD.

Not only is Villa Escudero a great place to experience Philippine culture, it’s also the only place we know with a restaurant in the plunge basin of a waterfall!! Why not kick off your shoes and enjoy some Philippine cuisine while you wade!

Our two favorite things: Florence and FREE! Great tips on free art you can see in Florence. Now’s a great time to go. Heck with the kids. How many soccer games can a parent see? Leave ’em with Grandma and head East to the Old Country while the tourists are few and the gustatory pleasures are many!
