In December of 2005 my husband and I took a t trip tNYC for 4 days. Of course Central Park was one of our top places to visit. Its a major part of New York City. It was so beautiful, even in December, and full of energy. There was no snow and a bit warmer so many people were out. We watched the horse-drawn carriages, artists, the energy and life CP brings. We walked a lot but loved every minute of it. We want to go back in the early fall too see it for its true beauty.

My husband and I went to NYC after Christmas in 2005 and had only planned to stay until Dec 30th before the NYE craziness started to happen. We tried to go to Top of the Rock on two occasions but it was either too busy or too foggy to see anything. We were a bit disappointed but loved the rush and energy of the people walking around, the large Christmas tree, ice skating, it was fun to watch it all. When we do make it back one day, we will for sure spend some time there again...and it will not be during any holidays!

I had a lay-over at Detroit Metro airport in 2003 and I was all by myself and need a place to stay. Due the aircraft problems, I was put up at the Westin at DTW. It was one of the best night's sleep that I had gotten in a long time and I did not have children at the time. The bed truly was seven layers of heaven and they treated me so well there. I only got about 5 hours of sleep before my early AM flight out, but it was a great 5 hours!!

To walk around Coconut Grove and enjoy all the shops, restaurants and bars makes you feel that you are in true Florida and that you are in a fun place within Florida. It is easy access, fun, safe and so pretty. Perfect to go out at night and meet friends. There is always a band or musical group playing somewhere. A must see in Florida....

If you are interested in getting a tour of the island with out having to walk every square inch, the Conch Train Tour is the way to go. It will take you to a lot of the famous attractions of Key West and the guides are knowledgeable with Key West's history. Kids will love being on the train. Be pared to be gone for a bit bit truly worth the ride, enjoy!
