Cookie travels

When the kids were about to have their summer vacation months ago, I was thinking back then where should be our destination. With a stronger Euro currency compared to USD, a trip to New York would be within budget, I suppose. So I started to plan and in the process of planning, I searched the web for online travel guides and found a good resource for sightseeing tours, attractions, and museums. The company is Trusted Tours & Attractions. They provide tours in Chicago, New York, Atlanta, Los Angeles, Las Vegas, and in more cities. One thing I like about this online travel guide is I can just easily and securely purchase our tour tickets online.

There are a lot of things to do in New York. From the list of New York City tours, I settled for the Classic New York Double Decker Bus Tour coz this includes the uptown, downtown, and Brooklyn loop tour, a ferry ride to Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island, tickets to the Empire State Building Observatory and South Street Seaport Museum, and a night tour. This tour is Hop-on and Hop-off with stops at 50 designated places throughout Manhattan and Brooklyn, and the ticket is valid for 48 hours. That’s great value for our money.

Trusted Tours & Attractions is also having a special promotion. Up for grab is a chance to win a $150 iTunes Gift Card if you sign up for their newsletter. The newsletter can be a good start to plan for your next vacation. And who knows you will be the lucky winner too.

I made some changes in my travel blog again for the good of Cookietravels..hehe. The bold text that you can see from few of my posts every now and then is one of them. Reason? I still need to ask the expert. The other one is the Entrecard widget which as I have mentioned in my previous post “Entrecard Traveling” had been a quite an addicting experience for me. The Entrecard was started few weeks ago but as I have observed, it has greatly increased the number of site visitors. And I’m so happy about it… way to go Cookietravels.com

Earlier this year, i was inspired to start out my own travel blog. It was not difficult materializing this idea coz my techie bro was there to help me out with the domain name registration, hosting and setting up.
