Disneyland Resort, Paris: The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror!

| 1 comments

One of Disney's most popular attractions worldwide; was launched on 5th of April at Disneyland Resort Paris, amidst fanfares and razzmatazz.

Guests plunged faster than the speed of gravity in this 13-storey drop based on a "lost episode" of The Twilight Zone®, the spooky cult television series that ran from 1959 to 1964.

Perhaps the following video can give you folks a better picture about this new attraction in Disneyland Resort, Paris. Enjoy!







Antigua Travel Tips

Since my last post was all about Antigua, I thought it would be nice if follow it up with some Antigua travel tips. I do remember a few after reading about them from some blogs and travel sites yesterday.

Here goes:

  1. Bring along your bug sprays since we have lots of bugs in Antigua.
  2. You can get best rates and save lots of money by traveling to Antigua during summer of fall.
  3. Caribbean sun rays are quite damaging, bring along your favorite sun blocks and lotions.
  4. Bring along some hats and sunglasses.
  5. Antigua has a $20 departure tax.
  6. Shopping is best done at Heritage and Redcliffe Quays.
  7. Antiguan local time is according to Atlantic Standard Time
  8. You are expected to leave some tips
  9. If you want to rent a car, go ahead but remember that you will be driving on the left hand side of the road.
  10. Make sure that you are well insured. Better take comprehensive travel insurance if you don’t have one.
  11. No sandals please. Better bring along your sneakers or beach shoes.
  12. Vaccinations are not required but do check before going.
  13. Most businesses are open from Monday to Saturday.
  14. Like any other islands in the world, you can dress conservatively except maybe in hotels and some fancy restaurants where you will be required to wear jackets.

Do you even know where Antigua is actually located?

It is an island nation located somewhere in the eastern Caribbean Sea, on the sea's boundary with the Atlantic Ocean. The island of Antigua is part of the Lesser Antilles archipelago. To the south of Antigua, we have neighboring islands of Guadeloupe, Dominica, Martinique, Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Barbados, Grenada and Trinidad and Tobago. If you have never heard of those islands before, just refer to the map featured down below. :-)

I really don’t like to describe wonderful places with words because words can never do justice to the real experience. Let me leave you folks with the following videos so that you can picture Antigua yourself in your mind. Enjoy!
