Universal Islands of Adventure in Orlando (USA): Our favorite theme park – Road trip in Florida #6

It is the park we preferred among the 3 theme parks in Orlando. I will explain why. Part 1: Travel Diary Part 2: Practical Tips Part 1: Travel Diary This isn’t the first time we visit a Universal park, we went to Universal Studios in Singapore (with very few tourists) and liked it very much, even if the park seemed small to us. I don’t know why we missed the one in Osaka but as we will go back there next year,…

[Practical Travel Guide] Disney parks in Orlando (USA): Top Attractions, where to stay, Fast Pass: Road trip in Florida #5
So, it’s already been a week that we are on our Road trip in Florida (read part 1, part 2, part 3, part 4). There are about ten amusement parks in all in Orlando but we decided to spend only 3 days: 2 at Disney and 1 at Universal. Being very tired, we didn’t prepare much for these magical days, apart from buying the tickets in advance. And we’re wrong to come in “I’m living in the moment” mode because there’s a lot of planning to do, especially when you spend so little time in Orlando. Don’t make the same mistakes we did. In this guide, we share some tips…

The Drive In experience, the outdoor cinema in the United States – Road trip in Florida #4
When we spent a day at Hollywood Studios in Orlando, we passed a restaurant that replicates the American Drive In experience: the famous open-air movie theaters where you can watch a screening while sitting in your own car The wait was too long for us to eat in this restaurant but it gave us the idea to try to live this typically American experience in a much more authentic way by going to a real drive-in The drive-in is a true symbol of the American way of life and in particular of their adoration for cars. These open-air cinemas had their heyday in the 1960s. They are gradually disappearing: there…

La Isla del Sol on Lake Titicaca: How to get there, where to sleep, guide & tips
Updated September 2019 : Following an economic conflict between the Center and the North of the island, access to the North and Center was blocked / closed for more than a year and a half and tourists could only visit the southern part of Isla del Sol, among the Yumani who remained neutral during the conflict (I see many articles and comments spitting at the southerners, but they did nothing. Many negative comments also come from people who did not do any research before coming, and are offended to pay the entrance fee to the island when it has always been the case) A peace agreement was signed in July…
