Family Travel Destination - Sea Isle City, New Jersey

Some might not have heard about Sea Isle City before, me either. I got to know this island city from the recent tropical storm disaster (Hana) that hit most of the South Eastern part of USA’s Atlantic Ocean’s coastline, started worst in Haiti and weakening towards North Carolina, without hitting Sea Isle City. Sea Isle City is one of the most popular family travel destination in Cape May County, New Jersey of United States. It is located  along the Atlantic Ocean, east of USA and not water. Though it is widely considered as an island city, Sea Isle actually shares its land on Ludlam Island with neighbor, Strathmere.

With more than 30% of residents being Irish ancestry, Sea Isle City is a beach town with most of its housing used for vacation rentals and second homes. It has a 1.5 mile beachfront promenade and several arcades, shops, restaurants and bars in the center of town. Visitors from all over the world come here for its serene environment. You can stay in one of those beach front bangalows, relaxing under the beautiful sun while kids are having fun on the beach and enjoying sun setting at the same time. It is just a perfect holiday destination for families. For those who are adventurous can even drive down to the nearby Atlantic casinos for some luck try!

If you are wondering any city rentals Sea Isle travel agency could help arranging accomodation in Sea Isle, FREDA Real Estate Agency located in Landis Avenue of Sea Isle City is one of the trusted company in the city. It serves Sea Isle City Rentals and Sale needs since 1955.

For your information, many of the properties there are actually second homes to expariates. You can log on to Freda’s website for more information.

Tik..tuk…tik..tuk… The clock start counting down! Yes, I’m going to Shanghai this winter! The countdown began yesterday after we have booked a travel package to Shanghai at MATTA fair, Putra World Trade Centre, KL, Malaysia! You can feel my excitement from the number of Exclamation marks with that I’ve ended all the above sentence!!! Ha.. Ha… I have opted for a packaged travel to Shanghai because of these top 5 reasons:

1. This is my first ever travel to China;
2. For safety reason especially Shanghai where I’ve heard enough stories of friends being ‘conned’ by the local (sorry to those friends from Shanghai);
3. We need a guided tour to cover so many travel sites in a limited time (8 Days only);
4. We are altogether 5 persons in the group as I’m going with my family old folks!, and
5. The promotion during the MATTA fair was really attractive! (In terms of price off course).

MATTA fair is the biggest and most popular travel fair held twice a year, in March and September in Malaysia. During this 26th edition of MATTA fair, from 5th to 7th of September, nearly thousand booths are gathered together offering attractive travel packages, inbound or outbound travel, air tickets, ground trips and more to visitors. Lucky draws and great prizes are to be given away to those lucky one. 

We spent almost 6 hours there to do an overall research on various packages of Shanghai trip including prices, itinery and all those what’s, when’s, where’s and how’s… until we have our decision made with this travel agency, Regal Worldwide (holidays) Sdn Bhd. This is among the most well known travel agencies in KL and it was also why we opted for them: Reliability. We don’t want to sacrifice our vacation for that little price difference between agencies, if the agency go busted. Most importantly, the more popular is the travel agency, the less chance for a trip to be cancelled due to insufficient sign-up’s in the package!

After all, we got a 8D7N Shanghai/ Hang Zou/ Nanking/ Xu Zou/ Wu Zhen all-inclusive package deal for RM 2,375.00 per pax which I think is not too bad . The departure date is going to be on 15th November 2008 from the KLIA. Wow, slightly more than 2 months time from now!!! Tik..tuk…tik..tuk… start counting down again…. - Travel Feeder.
