A short sightseeing cruise by this vessel called Minneapolis Queen really helps you understand what Minneapolis means.
Upper St, Anthony Lock and Dam is a unique experience and do not miss it when you visit Minneapolis.
Minneapolis is well connected and St Paul is its international Airport.
Ellora Caves, about 15 miles from the historical city of Aurangabad in India, are a wonderful piece of ancient art. Looking at cave no 16, you start thinking how this must have been carved. The nearby fort at Daulatabad is also work of inspiration with very imaginative architecture. You may also like to visit temple of Shiva -Hindu deity and enjoy the design besides getting spiritually elevated.
If you have time spare one day for the Ajanta caves.
Plan for a three day stay at Aurangabd in good hotels like Ambassador, Rama International and travel by taxi. Aurangabad is 50 minutes by plane from Mumbai(Bombay) India and is very reasonably priced. Be there between November to March to avoid heat. Dec/Jan are the best. Carry English to Hindi dictionary so that you can enjoy commentry of guides more.
It is nature - sublime, pristine and improved by man. Visit with family and friends and you'll find the park is very refreshing. The weeping tree and tree houses are examples of great imagination!
The most wonderful 3D show at Chocolate city is superb. You can pretty much smell the chocolate. I started liking chocolates after this visit.
Go from Harris Burg by car/taxi .Harris burg can be reached by flight -I think itis international airport.
Enjoy travel by AMTRAK -It is very good.
Staff are very friendly and the travel counter persons are excellent. However don't forget to ask and demand what is promised eg daily amenities -t ooth brush, shaving kit etc. I would say our stay was very good.
Food at Crown India - just 400ft from the Crown Plaza is excellent and very reasonably priced. They also offer a free drop at falls.
Needless to say Niagra Falls is a divine experience. Also don't forget to experience the wondeful aquarium with your family.
Go via Buffalo Niagara Airport and ask the hotel in advance to book a taxi so you save. Crown Plaza has website and you may do advance booking.
