Florida and Dali? I never would've thought to put the two together. When I think of the Tampa Bay Area, it doesn't exactly conjure up thoughts of Spanish surrealism. … more
If you are in Bath, Maine, or on the coast "downeast" of Portland, take a day to see the Maine Maritime Museum. We took about 5 hours for a tour of a late 1800's boatyard, a boat trip on the Kennebec, … more
I was visiting last week for The Treasures of Vacheron Constantin which exhibits some 170+ antique watches at the basement of the National Museum of Singapore. An excellent exhibit, not to mention … more
Loved seeing the Sistine Chapel but was disappointed by the lack of respect it's given by the world wide tourists. Our tour guide told us to whisper if we had to talk at all, but when we got inside it … more
The Hearst Castle, owned by the state of California, is a fabulous place. Although the more than 100 ornate rooms and detailed ceilings, gold leaf floor designs in the crazily gorgeous indoor pool, … more
Disclaimer: We didn't actually get to go inside the museum, we only toured the outdoor exhibits. Not exactly a National Park, but I thought this is the best community for this review. … more
My husband and I have been fortunate enough to have made several visits to Paris. There is so much that is wonderful about the city, but I think my absolutely favorite place is the Musee National du Moyen … more

This museum is enchanting. The first time I went I was shocked, maybe because Paris is so full of good museums that its easy to miss this one. The garden is especially beautiful with lots of famous scuptures. … more
The beauty of this intimate world class art collection is that it is small enough for the viewer to look at every single piece slowly, carefully and lovingly and yet still see the entire collection in … more

I would recommend seeing what you really want to see, due to the time-warp factor of the museum. Then, start from the top and work your way down. There aren't as many people on the top floor.

trailblazer reviewed Hearst Castle.
September 01, 2009
Hearst Castle is worth the high price of admission. It's the antithesis of the rugged image of the California West -- even if it is nestled among rolling hills with cattle grazing. It's luxury and indulgence … more
