NEWYORK

Iam writing all my experiences in america...but i dont know how i missed writing about NEWYORK..

NEW YORK was the crowded city i had visited in U.S.A.. it is one of the largest cities in the United States. The city has been home to the tallest buildings in the world, including the Empire State Building and the twin towers of the World Trade Center.(ofcourse they got demolished and now it is known as ground zero)Manhattan is the downtown area of NEW YORK and commercial capitol of the United States and is famous for the city's skyscrapers

There is so much to write about this city..

When ever i think about my trip to NEW YORK it remembers me all the sweet memories.

I started taking photoes since i boarded the flight ...that high my excitement was..

I was very eager to see THE STATUE OF LIBERTY. so our first visit was to this place....this palce has a historical background .It was presented to the United States by the people of France as a gift of friendship ,and is Located on a 12 acre island.

We reached THE STATUE OF LIBERTY by a ferry...when i was going nearer to that statue i felt like i was the luckiest person in the world to see the wonderful statue in person..It was amazing.

Really this is so wonderful than i thought ..we stayed there for some time and we need to have reservation to climb up the statue ..as we dont know that before,we didnt get the chance to go up
Next day we went to see the down town of the city..ie., the MANHATTAN .As i said before this place is very big and famous for skyscrapers...no one in the world can explain this place in one single word..... so awesome.We made a full downtown tour by the double decker topless site seeing bus.Night Tour will get an amazing view of the illuminated Manhattan .

We visited ground zero and spend some time at times square.Times Square is a major intersection in MANHATTAN.On every december 31st there will be a lavish fireworks display from the top of the building. On this night hundreds of thousands of people gather here to watch this NEW YEAR EVE.

NEWYORK is a must see city in U.S.A. Roads are always crowded with people..

ATLANTIC CITY

Newyork trip is not complete without seeing ATLANTIC CITY.

Atlantic City is a city in Atlantic County, New Jersey, USA. Famous for its boardwalk, casino gambling, sandy beaches, spectacular view of the Atlantic Ocean.

One day after finishing our lunch we headed towards ATLANTIC CITY.Around 4pm we reached there.When we were entering the city the traffic was moderate and we went to the seashore and spent sometime on the boardwalk .

As it was becoming dark,the traffic came to its maximum.There were lots of people coming from different places to visit the CASINOS.We entered one of the CASINOS.OH GOD!!!!!! I had never seen such a crowd before in U.S.A.People were busy in gambling and for seeing this place two eyes are not enough ....I wanted to take some photes but it was not allowed.We played some card games with the minimum amounts, but there the gambling goes with higher amounts.

This place is good for the people who like to play gambling.

We were back to Newyork at 3.00am

Whenever i play cards i remember ATLANTIC CITY...

PHILADELPHIA

When we were in Newyork,one of our family friends suggested us to see PHILADELPHIA.I dint know the significance of that place.so i asked the same.They said it is the historical place where AMERICA's independece declaration was made.

I was so excited and wanted to see.so went to PHILADELPHIA.

PHILADELPHIA is 1 and half hour drive from newyork.one morning from New jersey We directly went to the historical site ,where AMERICA got declared independence. Here we see America's most sacred historic sites like, the Liberty Bell and Independence Hall.

The Liberty bell is known as most famous ringing occurred on July 8, 1776, to summon citizens of Philadelphia for the reading of the Declaration of Independence. This bell is also known as Independece Bell.

we spent some quality time there and took the siteseeing bus to make a tour to downtown.we boarded "ride the duck" it is a bus cum boat.It leads you through Philly's historic streets and a splash into the Delaware River .We enjoyed that ride very much.We never saw that before , the bus converting into a boat and splash into the river.It was a good experience.

On the same day we returned to Newyork along with the memories of PHILADELPHIA.

ORLANDO

Now a days i feel lonely and having no interest in anything .on one weekend my husband said "why dont we go to ORLANDO".i didnt take it seriously......because i heard its all about rides and basically kids will enjoy it............

after 2 days my husband said that he booked tickets for ORLANDO.......i was sooooo excited and started looking for that trip on the net...

ORLANDO, The city is well known for the many tourist attractions in the area, in particular the Walt Disney , SeaWorld and Universal studios ....

Walt Disney World is most visited theme park in the world. At over 25,000 acres, the massive property features four world-renowned theme parks............

SeaWorld is the world 's premier marine adventure park with incredible ,thrilling rides and up-close animal encounters.

Universal studios has two amazing theme parks in one convenient location......

after getting the information, i came to know that it will take 62 days to complete the orlando in full........oh god!!!!!!! we have only 3 days in hand.........and we want to see the maximum........is it possible ...i dont know...........

we started our journey to orlando..........

first we want to see Universal studios .I didnt get the sleep previous night because of the excitement...........we got up ready and went there early.........

seriously each and every bit excited me a lot and we wanted to cover everything...but as i said before there are two parks and each one is sooooo huge ..so atleast we wanted to see one of them completely so we went to Universal studios...............

there are lot of rides and 3d and 4d shows......till now i know abt 3 D shows but there i saw the 4 D show.its really good..in 4D shows we feel like we were walking ,riding etc..,its sooooo amazing.its been night when we came back...i was so tired on the first day itself............

next day we dint feel like going because of the tiredness but we have to see lot more in 3 days...

so we went to SeaWorld ......... The parks feature sea lion, and dolphin shows

One of the biggest attractions is the Shark Encounter,and the Penguin Encounter.....................

SeaWorld's main attraction is its shamu show. 'Shamu' is used as a stage name for adult Orcas in performances at SeaWorld parks...............we get to see all types of sea animals in one place......oh god why didnt i go before to see thisss...

after seeing sea world we got recharged for the next day....we got new strength .......

last day we went to Walt Disney....here we have 4 main parks to see.but we have no time to cover the 4 ....so we planned to go to Magic Kingdom and Epcot

first we went to epcot....... Epcot, is divided into two unique sections - Future World and World Showcase. Future World consists of the environment, imagination, energy, space, technology, and the automotive industry. World Showcase is made up of pavilions representing 11 nations along with food, entertainment, architecture, and attractions.

in future world i liked every thing .....but i liked soarin even more.........its a thrilling ride..this is one ride you don't want to miss on your next trip ......

world showcase we covered only half because we have a plan to see Magic Kingdom also

from Epcot, to Magic Kingdom we went by monorail....it takes 10 mins to reach from one park to another.......

Magic Kingdom is the ultimate...........the photo i posted above is the highlight of magic kingdom.....it is the Cinderella Castle .................its like a dream world to me.some times i felt like iam dreaming...............here also there r so many shows and rides .........one of the biggest attractions is the night colourful parade and fireworks...........

this trip is really a memorable one to me and built memories that last a lifetime and you will momentarilly forget the realities of every day life ,of schedules and obligations when we go from one adventure to the another

i dont want to go again and again because i want to remember this as a memory for my life time.

SPRING TIME

After the winter in USA, i wait for the spring season.....because its a season of flowering.........all the trees which loose their leaves in the fall season begin to flowering in the spring time and Its the season of growth for the plants from the cold winter........ its beautiful to see all the trees in their fullest with colourful flowers

spring starts officially on march 21st and lasts until 20th of june

in between this time we see different trees with different colors like in falls time..........people get bored sitting in the indoors in the winter start coming out and enjoy the spring time.trees getting bloom gives us some excitement in life

every where the grass looks green...lakes which were frozen for winter become thawing.............

we have to be very careful in this season...because people say that we get a lot of allergies......

by taking some precautions we can enjoy this season ............

MY JOURNEY TO BUDAPEST

One day when i was chatting with my brother(who is staying in budapest for 4 years)he casually asked me to visit their place .........then i didnt take it seriously............. but after some time i came to know that europe is a beautiful place and we should c it one's in our life.........

I mailed my brother that iam interested in coming to their place and to send me the related documents ......

The very next day my brother called and said he was happy for my decision and looking forward for the day of my arrival in budapest and sent the formal invitation which should be sent to hungarian embassy..............

I applied for hungarian visa and within 2 weeks i got the visa for 3 weeks..............

I was very excited to see my near and dear ones as well as the new place........

I packed a few things and got ready for journey..................

After coming to US this is my first travel to a long distance in flight ...i observed each and everything very carefully and remembered my first flight journey to US...

I boarded the flight and my first stop was Atlanta..i got down in atlanta and finished the required formalities ....................they took some of my papers related to US..and said those will be handed over to me when i get back to AMERICA.....

Iwas waiting for my next flight, which goes to FRANKFUT..in the meanwhile i started thinking about my EUROPE trip...i remembered my brother telling me that, in BUDAPEST people talk in their local language and some shop owners dont know even english also....

This point scared me a bit...because how can i communicate if i get a problem???.........

After some time i heard my flight announcement and i boarded it...in my next seat i had an indian so i didnt get bored. the flight took 9 hours from ATLANTA to FRANKFURT..... i had a great time in flight

HOOOOO i entered into EUROPE................

At FRANKFURT i saw many indians, because its a transit place..people change flights here to different destinations...

In FRANKFURT we have to get trains for going from one terminal to another.....that much huuuge airport......................... its a different experience......

From there i took flight to BUDAPEST,my last destination....in that flight each and everyone was talking in local language.... i felt alone...........

After 2 hours i landed in BUDAPEST... i finished my customs formalities and came out ....my brother was waiting there............on seeing him i forgot my strain and strees ............

It took me 14 hours to reach my destination............here we have to change our time .they r 6 hours before US

We took taxi to their place which is 30 min from airport..in taxi my brother was talking to me but i was watching outside ....all buildings were of same type.......... old and strong construction.I WAS OVERWHELEMED BY THE SHEER BEAUTY OF THE CITY

We reached home and i felt happy on seeing my dear ones...i had my lunch and took rest as i was feeling some jet log .next day morning i felt fresh.....we had a lot of fun .as it was cold outside we preffered to stay at home for some days.....................

As my stay was for 3 weeks we covered each and everything very leisurely..

BUDAPEST is a tourist place.so we see all types of people like germans ,french,dutch etc.,........and the local language is hungarian, but we hear mixed languages......It is the capital of hungary and a big city with huge constructions..their currency is forent(HUF)they count it from 1 to 1 lakh .they dont have any decimals....isnt it funny.....

The city is divided into two by DANUBE river.one side is BUDA and the other is PEST...Chain Bridge is the central point of Budapest.Trinity Square is at the heart of the city and usually thronging with tourists. we covered the parliament ,museum ,parks,underground trains ,malls,.....

They have a good public transportation with busses and trams available very frequently .In winter it gets dark at afternoon 3.30 itself.......i experienced more cold when compared to US.........sometimes my hands get burning sensation and become red because of cold...........

I dont know how my 3 weeks stay got completed... and my return date arrived .....its a beautiful experience for me in my life.

I promised my brother that i will visit that place again when time permits and took leave from them......................
