Reviews of all the places you'll go and the people you'll meet there.

Khao Kheow Open Zoo Chonburi
The Khao Kheow Open Zoo is located in the Chonburi Province of Thailand. The zoo is home to a large variety of animals. Unlike the name suggests most the animals are kept in pens and cages but by Thai standards the areas they are kept in are quite large. You will also see different species of monkeys, deer, lizards and a couple Bear Cats (Binturong) walking around and hanging out.

Christmas In Mexico
This year for our family Christmas (and my grandparents 55th wedding anniversary) we decided to take a Carnival cruise to Mexico. We had three stops and spent 4 days total on the ship, In this first installment of the cruise recap we will focus on the boat itself. As we were only it's second sailing I leave room for error, there were a few service complaints that, to be fair, happen here on dry land as well.

A Review of Palmers Swiss Cottage Hostel in London, United Kingdom
I'm back with another hostel review! Now, just a disclaimer before I begin; it's been nearly two and a half years since I stayed at this hostel, so some things may have changed.

Plaza Hotel in Las Vegas Review
I had gone to Vegas for a vacation and I stayed at the Plaza Hotel by Fremont experience street. The hotel was rated a three star but in my opinion it was a four star compared to hotels in the state I live in. The plaza hotel had a three bedroom suite where one bed was adjoined to a living room and the living room was adjoined to a two bedroom. Each bedroom had a bathroom with a shower. The living room had a half bathroom. Each bedroom had a tv and the living room had a tv too. The TVs has cable tv. The view from the the room I was in was of the swimming pool and a few of the buildings, and one of the highways or roads. The pool area looked like it had a big area for lounging in. The pool looked like there was enough room to swim laps if you are into swimming laps when you swim.The plaza motel sign was also seen from the view. The beds were comfortable to sleep in. The hotel suite had a mini fridge, a Keurig one cup coffee maker, ice bucket, but there was no mini bar like I thought Vegas hotels had. That was one let down to the hotel.

Review: Sofitel Hotel Corniche, Abu Dhabi
PackThePJs factored in a two-night stopover in Abu Dhabi on the way home from our recent holiday to the Maldives. This was easy to do as all our flights were on Etihad Airways. Using Booking.com we chose the Sofitel Hotel, on the Corniche, in Abu Dhabi. We’ve never stayed in Abu Dhabi before, so why did we choose this hotel? Well, the price was incredibly reasonable, it is rated 5 stars, and the family room we were offered was called the ‘Prestige Suite with Executive Lounge Access and Butler Service’. Hard not to be enticed, really!

The Car Park King
The Tudors have always been a part of British history that I've been fond of. I enjoy the stories of the kings and queens and found the tales of love, betrayal, and scandal very interesting. The Tudors brought the birth of the new Church of England and the golden age. But none of that would have been possible if it wasn't for the War of the Roses and the defeat of Richard III.
