Favorite activities...

Every city you visit has a lot of activities to do. Either for fun, to relax or spend a great time with family or friends. I think the following, are some of my favorites so far. (so far! the more I travel, the more I know)

Paris: up to the top! One of my favorite cities to visit is Paris. Full of history, beautiful gardens, fun streets and of course, very romantic and glamorous. And the best way to see this metropolis from a different point, is from the world famous Eiffel Tower. The best time to visit it, is very earlier in the morning. You have 3 levels to enjoy, the first one is a restaurant, then 2 different floors with an observation deck each. I had an amazing time from the top floor, but I think the 2nd floor is the perfect point to see every corner of this gorgeous city. If you go to Paris and don't visit this tower, you didn't meet Paris. Another thing I love doing in this city, a tour by the Seine. My favorite, a boat that includes dinner. Local food, amazing view and a great ambience and experience.  (Acceso Total 29)

Tuscany: a tour. There are a lot of movies where you can take a look at many of the towns located at this Italian region. But I encourage you to visit and see for yourself those wonderful scenes. And the best way to do it, is by taking a Tuscany tour. I did it and it was awesome! In one day we got to visit historic Sienna, stroll by San Gimignano where we also had an delicious organic lunch with local wine, and finally, Pisa. Either if you rent a car and go by yourself or take a tour so you can listen to stories about the places you visit, the breathtaking view will make you come back another time. If you are going soon, please take me! :) (Acceso Total 29)

Orlando: Disney is also for grown ups! It doesn't matter what's your age, in Orlando Florida you will find lots of activities to do with family and friends. Variety of attractions, the best roller coasters, water parks, shopping and much more. I love going to Disney, and even when Epcot Center is not my favorite theme park, it's the perfect place to enjoy with friends Drinks around the world. Who said you couldn't go around the world in 1 day and enjoy delicious dishes, desserts and typical drinks from each country? A mexican margarita, later a beer in Germany, sake in Japan or wine in Italy. Every country has its speciality. Just remember to drink responsibly, don't drink and drive and you have to be 21 years old or older to drink in USA. And please, don't ride 'Test Track' or 'Mission: Space' after some drinks!

Florida Keys

All you need is a car to drive from Miami and enjoy a great time in the Florida Keys!

If you have enough time, take it easy then! Drive early in the morning from Miami through the US1 south. Doesn't matter where you look, it's a breathtaking view.

The first Key to meet, Key Largo. Stop by the Bass Pro Shop and enjoy the beautiful scenery while shopping. In Key Largo you'll find John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park, where you can enjoy a relaxing day at the beach, camp for the weekend, rent a boat or enjoy scuba diving in the first underwater park created in USA! Amazing things you can't find anywhere else, such as the Christ of the Abyss.

Keep going until Islamorada. Acceso Total 29's favorite place to visit is right there, Holiday Isle! Enjoy a yummy lunch in front of the ocean and don't forget to try the Pina Coladas and the famous Key Lime Pie! And why not renting a wave-runner? Feel closer to the clear waters!

Close to Holiday Isle, you'll find Theater of the Sea. Watch and swim with dolphins, sea lions, sting rays and more beautiful animals from the sea.

Next to visit, Marathon. Before crossing the famous 7 miles bridge, stop by the Dolphin Research Center and know more about those amazing and beautiful animals. And later enjoy the sun at Sombrero Beach. 


Take a walk at the entrance of the 7 miles bridge, wonderful place for pictures.

After the long bridge, you'll meet the Lower Keys where Bahia Honda State Park is located. More beautiful beaches to see and enjoy!

Drive carefully, you might see adorable Key Deers on the way to Key West!

Welcome to Key West! Even when it's a small city, you'll never get bored because there's always something to see and do! From bars, live music, excellent restaurants, rides by trolleys around the city or you might even rent a scooter and go around the key on your own!.

Get to know the Southernmost Point in USA, only 90 miles from Cuba!.

One thing I really want to do: take a tour to visit Dry Tortugas National Park.

What I love the most? By the end of the afternoon, take a walk by Duval Street. Party never stops there! However, before the party, enjoy the sunset with live entertainment and vendors by the dock!

I never have a bad time while visiting Key West! Love it! You won't regret of visiting!

South Florida

South Florida... my 2nd home... There's always something to do! From Miami Beach to Las Olas Blvd. in Ft. Lauderdale.

Take a walk by the famous street in South Beach (known by locals as SoBe): Ocean Dr. You will feel as walking at one of the Hollywood films (Scarface, The birdcage, Bad Boys, There's something about Mary...) Exotic cars, famous restaurants, Deco style hotels, stores open until 2am (some of them) and the most gorgeous and sexy people from around the globe in one place! If you're lucky enough, you might even walk into a celebrity or through a film set! How many have I seen?! Or take a picture next to Casablanca's car and Humphrey Bogart.

In South Beach, Collins and Washington Av. are very well known by its stores plus the awesome nightlife. You can find lots of restaurants, pubs, variety of night clubs as Mansion where you might even party with Paris Hilton, Matt Damon or Vin Diesel!

SoBe is so sexy and HOT that there's a World Erotic Art Museum in Washington Av.

Close to the South Miami Beach, in Downtown Miami take a walk at Bayside, a shopping mall, there's always a show at night by the marina. Remember Will Smith's video 'Miami' at the end of the song? There are restaurants, stores and bars in front of the bay. At Bayside, you can also enjoy a tour that'll take you to where celebrities live and around the famous canals, by the day or night. A very tourist spot!

Miami, melting pot of culture as I call it, you can find diverse restaurants where you can experience a latin breakfast, an Italian lunch and then a Greek dinner. All in one city, authentic Mexican, Spanish, Venezuelan, French, Turkish, Brazilian cuisine. You want it, you'll find it. 

Family time? Visit Miami Sea Aquarium in Key Biscayne or Miami Metro Zoo to the South by the US1.


Ft. Lauderdale is part of South Florida, another beautiful city to visit. If feel like driving while getting to know the area, I love going from South Beach driving north by A1A to Dania Beach. Gorgeous beaches along the way, stores, malls, and lots of bridges with a great view for amazing pictures. So roll the windows down and enjoy the time!

Live it up few hours by the beach in Ft. Lauderdale and across the street you'll find restaurants and stores. Then, get dress for the night and have dinner at Las Olas Blvd at any of the restaurants in the area. Very romantic too!

Only few minutes by car from Ft. Lauderdale beach, visit the Hard Rock Cafe & Casino in Hollywood. More than 20 restaurants, night clubs, bars and stores open until late.

Don't forget to get to know more about the Seminoles! From Miami, take the famous Calle 8 and go north until you reach to the Everglades. They have different spots where you can take a ride on an Air Boat, listen to the stories of the area, watch an alligator show and get to know more about their history!

And remember to keep clean the city and respect the nature. Also, check out Acceso Total 29's video about Miami Beach, Miami and Ft. Lauderdale (last 2, in Spanish only)

Road trip: Atlanta...

My long day, Sat August 9th...

Waking up at 6am to drive from Miami to Atlanta! Around 7am we were on the road, and I couldn't drive as I do (80-85MPH :) yeah I drive fast) cuz a weekend ago I've got my 1st ticket, 15 mph over the limit (oops) and everytime I hit 75 my parents went mad. lol but I'm a good driver! I love to drive! :)

Half the way, already bored. It's all straight, keeping the same speed, trees, farms.... that's all I saw.

Around 8pm we arrived at Atlanta, Georgia! Yei! But we didn't make reservation whatsoever :) We took a look at 3 different hotels and decided to stayed at a Hilton Garden Inn (1501 Lake Hearn dr.) Of course, Hilton means GREAT service. Good price for a great place. Indoor pool, jacuzzi, bar, free Internet, parking lot and what I loved the most free cookies and coffee at the lobby lol
1st day we went to Down Town.

Our 1st visit in Down Town, the Aquarium. I think if you buy the ticket over the Internet, it's cheaper. And I think it's better to go by the afternoon since there are less people, specially if it's a Sunday as we went. The line was long that morning to get in! But it's a MUST see while in Atlanta. 

Then we walked to CNN. Every 30 minutes or so, there is a tour for an hour inside the CNN studios and you get to ride the longest and highest escalator that will take you up in 2 minutes and 30 seconds. It was fun and you get to know more about the most famous news network in the world.

Close to CNN and the Aquarium, there's the Coke museum. We didn't get inside but it looks like fun.

Tomorrow we'll be going to the Martin Luther King Jr. center.
