<p><br/> <br/> Australia's second largest city is a delight to visit, for sure, with highlights including the National Gallery of Victoria, the Melbourne Museum, the Melbourne Cricket Ground, the Royal Botanic Gardens, the Laneways, and Federation Square. But among some it also has a reputation for being on the expensive side. I wanted to visit, but was skeptical as to whether I could pull it off on a budget. But I gave it a go, and was pleasantly surprised to learn that it wasn't so difficult after all.

<p>Milan is a metropolis of the future, where creativity, business and fashion meet together and influence each other. Milan is also the city of nightlife, full of cafès, bars, restaurants and nightclubs where looking good and excellent drinks are compulsory. In this modern and fast-paced city a lot of cool events take place, such as concerts, international DJs and clubbing nights. It's also a city full of events, concerts, drama shows and exhibitions. This big, dynamic metropolis is full of life and there’s an embarrassment of riches when it comes to entertainment.</p>
<p><br/>Milan is also the city of happy hours: there are many places where you can have an aperitif. You can start your evening in one of the most famous bars with an<span> </span><em>aperitivo</em>, which isn’t just a simple pre-dinner drink, but a social event where food, fashion, music and cocktails combine and set the right atmosphere to start your night. Many clubs are also restaurants: this is a good opportunity to join together food and music in the same place.

<p>San Diego is a wonderful Southern-California destination, and especially for families! And I recently discovered a venerable family-run garden/nursery that's not only a great family destination but also free to visit. Fewer than 10 miles from San Diego International Airport, City Farmers Nursery has been on its rustic property for over 45 years, started from the ground up by the Tall family.<span> </span></p>

June 9, 2011:</b> The ‘open’ secret is out… American visitors LOVE everything Royal when they visit London! Of course we knew it really, but now interesting new research from the Leisure Pass Group – the innovative company behind the handy ‘London Pass’ has released new statistics - and that makes it official. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>It may not quite be ‘Tea with the Queen’ but USA visitors were almost twice as likely to visit Windsor Castle – the Queen’s weekend home – than other tourists, as well as more likely to visit the Queen’s horses, housed at the Royal Mews, and take a peek at Kensington Palace – Princess Diana’s last home. USA visitors even were more likely to see where many Queens, Kings and nobility lost their lives at the ‘Tower of London’ – now home to many of the Queen’s jewels.</p>
<p><br/> The London Sightseeing Pass gives access to all of these Royal sites and over 55 top London attractions including Westminster Abbey where Prince William and his bride Kate Middleton were wed earlier this spring. Users have priority access at the busiest sites to avoid queues, a free guidebook and over 40 additional deals and discounts, making the London Sightseeing Pass the perfect money saver and the ideal way to explore the city’s premier attractions. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>A one-day London Pass costs $70 for adults and $45 for a child. A two-day London Pass costs $94 for adults ($70 for children aged between five and 15 years), three-day passes are $115 for adults and $78 for children and a six-day option costs $152 for adults and $109 for children.</p>
