Dragon Bishop: Visit This Place

Great Pictures of Half Dome Hiking Trail in Yosemite. This is my ultimate mission that I, Shahriar and Nitol are planning to accomplish next month. Source: http://www.trailspotting.com/2008/10/yosemite-half-dome.html

This was my first trip to Grand Canyon although I have been looking for this for more than a year now. I, Shusmita, Ahyan and Nitol took the US Airways from San Jose Airport 23rd May Saturday 9 AM and returned from there at 5 PM flight 25th May Monday. Ahmed Amin flew from San Francisco to join us in the Phoenix airport and he returned early in Monday morning. The fun started at Phoenix airport while waiting for the rental car at Dollar Country. We were given a choice of either picking a PT Cruiser which I don't like or choosing a larger size Christler without any additional fee. We were delighted to get the bigger one and drove to a Mediterranean food center called Biaz market to finish lunch. The drive from Phoenix to Flag Staff was scenic but windy and rainy. I drove a little bit and then gave the steering wheel to Nitol to go for a quick sleep as last few nights we didn't get time for proper sleep due to my neighbor Tufail Bhai's farewell from west coast to east coast. ...

From Visit Around

As my parents just recently came to visit us in USA , I took them to Monterey Bay Aquarium in July 20th. We had lunch in Ambrosia Indian Cuisine nearby before entering the aquarium. We saw all the creatures there, took photos and videos. This time we were lucky to catch the session of feeding the fishes in afternoon. There was around half an hour demonstration that we enjoyed a lot and wondered why the sharks are not attacking the lady who was trying to feed them despite her skuba diving materials and masks. We covered 17 miles drive, Pebble beach and the gold course where Tiger Woods come to play. It was a 216 miles drive the whole day and no one seemed overwhelmingly tired including little Ahyan.

This independence day long weekend, I along with my Shusmita and son Ahyan stayed overnight in San Francisco to watch fireworks and to shop in Union Square. My friend Nitol joined us at 4th July noon when we started in a relax mode. We reached Club Quarters in San Francisco (in Embarcadero) and parked my car in a nearby garage. Then we caught BART for shopping in WestField . In the evening we came back to Ferry Building to watch fireworks, but we couldn't watch well from there. So we started walking towards Pier 39 with Ahyan in Stroller. There we could watch the fires very closely. Ahyan was scared of the sounds and hence started crying loud. We finished our dinner just opposite to my office in market street and then Nitol went back to Fremont while we headed towards our hotel room. http://picasaweb.google.com/nitol.shabbir/4thOfJulyAtSanFrancisco The next morning we went to Naan N Curry in O'Farrell Street. Shusmita did a lot of shopping from Union Square and we returned...

This is what I have been looking for a long time - a site that suggests me where to go in my next vacation trip and also help planning the trip details. http://www.travelmuse.com It allows me to create a list of trips and track each of those separately. Whenever I find a new page while surfing internet, I can attach that page, article or link to any of the trips I have in my list. This way now I have more than a dozen trip plan in progress right now. I hope this service remains free once they come out of beta stage.
