My Favorite Checked In Places in 2015

A very Happy New Year to you…! Can’t believe how time flies ?…As we are in 2016, with the new year, have new aspirations to explore the places, adventures and travel plans for this year. Thought to throw light on my 2015 adventures and most memorable travel moments.

2015 has been a blissful year and I was fortunate enough to travel around so many places in the United States of America. But my biggest achievement was that I moved from tourist zone to traveler zone and explored new horizon for myself. Here is a quick recap of my favorite checked in moments in 2015.

Niagara Falls, NY, USA

Niagara Falls were first in my checklist of exploring the places in the United States. I had an amazing experience with the Majestic Niagara Falls. The Falls were powerful, surreal, hypnotic and spectacular. Any of these adjective is not sufficient to describe the glory of the Majestic Niagara Falls.

Walt Disney World, Florida, USA

Visiting Walt Disney World, Florida was like a childhood dream come true. The four theme parks of Walt Disney World- Disney’s Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Disney’s Hollywood Studio and Disney’s Animal Kingdom will make you feel overwhelmed that you can’t ask anything more in your life.

Empire State Building, New York City, NY, USA

One of the iconic building of New York City. No trip of the NYC is complete without visiting the Empire State building. The view from 86th and 102nd floor is breathtaking.

Statue of Liberty, New York City, NY, USA

It was a memorable experience visiting Lady Liberty at Liberty Island and exploring Ellis Island. It is a great place to visit and I had a wonderful experience with Lady Liberty.

 

 One World Trade Center/Freedom Tower, New York City, NY, USA

It is a beautiful addition to the NYC skyline. A casual cafe, a bar with small plates & American fine dining with breathtaking views from the 101st floor. It’s an experience for a lifetime.

Times Square, New York City, NY, USA

When you visit Times Square in Midtown Manhattan, you will find an answer why tourists from all over the globe come to marvel at the neon billboards? This part of the city never sleeps at night. Nothing made me feel like I was in New York City like standing in Times Square did. Watching all the people coming and going, like ants on an ant hill. I thought it was amazing that I was actually seeing this in real life after seeing it in so many movies. Magical, and a must-go for anyone visiting NYC.

St. Augustine Lighthouse, St. Augustine, Florida, USA

St. Augustine Lighthouse is a must visit tourist attraction of St. Augustine. It’s a nice landmark and well-preserved piece of History. The view after climbing 217 stairs to the top of the lighthouse is magnificent and splendid.

Grand Canyon National Park, Arizona, USA

You have to see to actually believe how beautiful the Grand Canyon is. It is probably the most amazing place that I’ve been to in the United States. It’s just unbelievable how the Colorado River carved out this gorgeous canyon. It is simply a display of how beautiful mother nature can be.

Las Vegas Strip, Nevada, USA

One of the most visible aspects of Las Vegas’ cityscape is its use of dramatic architecture. The rapidly evolving skyline and constant modernization of hotels, casinos, restaurants, residential high-rises, and entertainment offerings on the Strip with the best party of the town will make you insane.

Universal Studios, Orlando, Florida, USA

Universal Studio is an amazing place where you will go beyond the screen, behind the scenes and jump into the action of your favorite movies at the world’s premier movie and TV based theme park. The Wizarding World of Harry Potter is the legendary attraction of Universal Studios.

Ocean Drive, Miami Beach, Florida, USA

Ocean Drive is a place with high energy and has many restaurants with some awesome drinks! Great Vibes and awesome beach parties at night. This is a MUST see for anyone traveling to Miami Beach.

Silver Springs State Park, Ocala, Florida, USA

Silver Springs is the world’s largest artesian spring and Florida’s oldest tourist attraction. It is one such place to spend quality time with Nature. There is lush greenery everywhere surrounded by plenty of flora and fauna which can soothe any soul. The feeling is priceless to see the crystal clear deep spring water containing enormous aquatic life and the soft gentle breeze around the Springs that caresses your face and cools your body.

These were some of my favorite places that I have checked in 2015. Do share your memorable traveling moment or let me know your favorite place which you have checked in 2015 in the comments below.

Happy Traveling,
Ana

      Wow Ana,

      You’ve seen some cool places!
      I imagine you’ve had a blast with each experience.
      I used to live in South Beach, so I’m well aware of what Ocean Drive is like. Very cool place – as was Lincoln Rd.

      Wow! you went to so many amazing places … and all in one year? That’s awesome! I’ve got two teenagers who are heavily involved with sports so our vacation time is limited to one free week during the summer. Sigh.

      You were all over in 2015! I love Walt Disney World! I was there for the third time in 2015. I haven’t been to the other places you checked in, in 2015 but many of them are on my list to visit.

      Wow, it looks like you had some pretty amazing travels last year! I think I take Niagara Falls for granted because we live about an hour from there and have traveled there more times than I can count. Such a stunning wonder of the world!
