It had been long since I've learnt from various sources that the famous Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando, Florida that opened near the end of the second operating season of SeaWorld of Ohio, has been a phenomenal success from visitors all around the globe. Various reviewers have attributed the grand success to Disney that Orlando today has emerged as a tourist hotspot for a massive number of people that would make their way to central Florida for vacations. And there we were, to explore the marvels of central Florida and make the best of our winter vacations in January!

The first day in Florida was really an eventful one at the SeaWorld in Orlando, "the theme park mecca of the world"! To cut it short, we had a beautiful view of the Orlando airport, of the city in our way, the amazing palm treeline in each and every strip---and finally reached the spectacular sea world in the mid-day. What followed was a bunch of sweet little surprises and unforgettable encounters with a host of sea animals throughout the day!! And as we explored them all, little did we wonder how the SeaWorld has thrived as a remarkable vacation destination since its opening day in 1973!

Why did we choose the Sea World of Orlando as the first destination of our trip?

Well, as the world's premiere marine adventure park with 200 acres of world-class shows, thrilling rides and unforgettable animal encounters, what else can beat the SeaWorld in the unmistakable appeal it holds for adventure lovers like me and my husband! For the records, more than 80 million visitors have explored the mysteries of the sea in the SeaWorld, along with up-close animal interactions and exhilarating thrills, and no wonder, we couldn't wait to be part of that crowd! Above all, there were those new state-of-the-art rides such as "Kraken" and "Journey To Atlantis" we heard of which twist, turn, and drench guests with unprecedented thrills that we longed to explore. At the same time, amazing animal encounters with sea animals including killer whales, dolphins, sea lions, stingrays and more were too good to resist!

The shows and rides of Sea World, Orlando:

After that wholesome trip to the SeaWorld, we keep telling our friends over here that whether you choose to meet Shamu, the world's most famous killer whale, or immerse yourself in the grandeur of the underwater circus called Odyssea, you are sure to have a show you'll enjoy inside the amazing SeaWorld.

The Wale and Dolphins' show, "Blue Horizon":
What we really enjoyed was the Whale and Dolphin show: "Blue Horizons"! The set-up was a bit weird, but then it really kicked off well, with all the acrobats and diving, with the beautiful addition of birds to the show. Accompanied by a musical score, trainers performed alongside their aquatic counterparts, with the highlights of the show being the dolphin tricks including the usual fair of midair summersaults. Some of the underwater spirals seemed fairly impressive as well, requiring concentration on both the part of trainer and animal. I really don't know much about the reviews, but to us, that was a good blend of performance from both the animals and the humans. All in all, a captivating and visually stunning show.

Compared to that, the enticing Shamu show didn't live up to the hype that surrounded it. The Shamu show being the most popular show at SeaWorld, running 20 minutes and showing as many as six times a day had caught my fancies long before, as I chanced upon the website of SeaWorld, Orlando before planning for a trip here in January. The highlight of the performance was supposed to be the spectacular natural behaviors of orcas and the unique relationships that SeaWorld trainers have with these animals. We expected the show to be a one-of-its-kind, enlivening a spirit of wonder. It started off as a captivating, dramatic show, presented in a completely enhanced Shamu Theater, featuring new music, video and animal behaviors. However, the time was too short and as soon as we were prepared to transport our hearts to the edge of sheer wonder, the show was over.

However, what the Shamu show lacked was compensated by the amazing sea lion show, where "Clyde and Seymour take Pirate Island". In this sensational show, an animal trainer dolled up like Mister Smee and his sea lion buddy pranced around the pirate-themed set. The setting was amazing, with the animals being the key point of the show. The show was funny and highly entertaining, taking animal intelligence to the next level!

About the Penguin encounter:

Next, we headed towards the fascinating Penguin encounter, renowned locally as the "SeaWorld's slice of the Antarctic! Well, what a wonderful journey it was through a 120 foot long moving walkway, feeling as if we landed up in a frozen wonderland! And there they were, the darling Rock-hoppers, Gentoo and King, delighting us with their sweet little gestures! Moreover, it was such fun to see the wonderful activities of three species of flying birds as they jumped, slid and dived both above and below the water!

Well, the story of our enchanting journey to the SeaWorld of Orlando would be incomplete if I don't mention anything about the host of spectacular rides like Challenge Kraken--that transport you to a domain of sheer excitement and ecstasy. Mind it, this one (Challenge Kraken) happens to be Orlando's only floorless coaster where you would get to experience a fascinating journey to the Atlantis through a part water ride and part roller coaster ride!

After experiencing all the spectacular animal shows, fantastic rides and numerous animal attractions, we found there's a lot more to explore in the mighty sea kingdom, including the Oyster Secret pearl diving lagoon and shop (where you have underwater treasures custom-made into beautiful pieces of jewelry right there), Shamu's Happy Harbor, an unbelievably fun, "just-for-kids" paradise filled with giant pink flamingos and palm trees. And while coming out of the enchanting kingdom of sea animals, we also had the chance to have an exciting glimpse of the nightlife at Sea World, the celebrations of sight, sound, flavor and festivity at the Waterfront! Yes, that is the festivity that defines the most vibrant cities by the sea.

At the end of the day, when we were reached our hotel in Orlando, almost gasping for breath after a great exploration of the spectacular SeaWorld, I was really longing so badly to tell all my friends and near ones about a fascinating experience of being in a paradise for a day! If you have a family and above all, kids, looking for a great vacation, this is the place where you can touch and feed the dolphins, count the teeth on a shark and feed seals and sea lions! And if you are already an adventure lover looking for numerous animal attractions, where you can take your family below the surface, above the waves and beyond your expectations, what can be more enchanting than the SeaWorld?

Anheuser-Busch announced on the evening of 13 July 2008, it would the company of the Belgian brewer InBev for 52 billion dollars. While Budweiser is a brand of InBev keep possession, it does not look good for Shamu and all his friends at SeaWorld, Busch Gardens, Discovery Cove and Aquatica, and the more than 20,000 employees, for Busch Entertainment Corporation, the entertainment of the work subsidiary Anheuser-Busch Inc., the entertainment division of the company is set to a valueapproximately $ 3 billion, which narrows the list of potential buyers. One would either Disney, Universal Studios, Six Flags or employee, are the future buyers. Six Flags is a large amount of debt is, Disney is not in the business of marine parks, Universal, and has a hard time getting enough funding from NBC, as it is. The acquisition is not expected to be completed before the end of the year. In view of the diseased state of the tourist industry and economy even worse, who knows if it knows a realistic goal. SeaWorldrecently raised its admission to $ 70 per ticket, which is the equivalent of one share of the new Anheuser-Busch, Inc. Anheuser-Busch bought the park nearly 20 years, of Harcourt Brace Jovanovich for $ 1.1 billion. It is estimated that InBev will receive between 3-4 billion dollars for the SeaWorld Busch Entertainment Corp. announced that this year it will help build a resort island in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, that is a SeaWorld, Busch Gardens, Discovery Cove , and Aquatica.

Overview

Australia is what you would a family friendly country. In other words, the people are super friendly and everyone is made to feel welcome wherever they are from. Even better is that we have some of the most beautiful coast in the world. The miles and miles of beaches will bring smiles and smiles for a lifetime. Read on to see where my best 3 coastal holidays destination are for families!

QUEENSLAND

Below are my top Queensland holiday spots for families.

1. Gold Coast

Probably the most popular family destination in Australia. But look beyond the theme parks of Dreamworld, Sea World, Wet n Wild and MovieWorld to explore the hinterland as well as the magnificent beaches.

I recommend staying in an apartment where you cater for yourselves but I also suggest trying some of the great family friendly restaurants dotted all throughout the coast.

If you don't have transport I recommend getting a hire car as the buses and train services are not as good as Australia's capital cities.

Take he kids shopping to Pacific Fair, Robina Town Centre as well as Harbour Town only 15 mins from the Gold Coast.

2. Sunshine Coast

Less crowded than the Gold Coast the Sunshine Coast is a big win for families. Of course the big attraction is Australia Zoo. The kids will love the bird and crocodile shows and there are loads of animals to get up and close personal with. The Zoo is constantly getting updated and is a far cry from the the Reptile Park days. Steve and Terri Irwin have poured millions of dollars into the park and it really worth spending the whole day there!

Probably the most family friendly place on the Sunshine Coast is Caloundra. Great protected water and beaches of the Pumicestone Passage Marine Park, and fun water activities at Kings Beach makes this a winner with kids.

Surrounding the Sunshine Coast are family attractions such as Aussie World and the leaning Ettamogah Pub, The Big Pineapple, the Ginger Factory, Underwater World at Mooloolooba and Montville in the hinterland.

TRAVELER TIP Avoid driving to the Sunshine Coast from Brisbane on a Friday afternoon, the traffic is a nightmare.

3. Far North Tropical Queensland

26km of beautiful beaches just north of Cairns gets far north Queensland on the list. Visit Yorkeys Knob, Machans, Trinity, Holloways and Ellis beaches, or Palm Cove, which is absolutely charming with its panoramic beachfront, flanked by chic boutiques, colourful galleries and classy coffee shops.

Port Douglas famous with the rich is worth exploring with the kids for a few hours. Probably the pick though is taking the scenic railway from Cairns to Kuranda and spending the day exploring the markets. The kids will love the stuffed cane toads on display or taken them to the bat sanctuary. Then get the skyrail back down to Cairns.

Not to be outdone is the Cairns Esplanade lagoon. Millions of dollars have been spent on this family and the kids will love splashing about in this picturesque setting.

Perhaps book a mini bus tour for day trip up to Mossman gorge and the Daintree. You might just see crocodiles in the wild....don't tip the boat!

Highly recommended is a trip out to Green Island for some snorkelling fun...

Cairns is a 24 hours drive from Brisbane or a 2 hour flight. Cairns itself has an international airport and takes flights from brisbane, Sydney or Melbourne.

NEW SOUTH WALES

1. Sydney

Not really considered a family holiday destination Sydney has loads of attractions for kids. Get a ferry from Circular Quay over to Taronga Zoo. Spend the day at Bondi Beach or Manly which is home to Oceanworld. Why not take the kids to the Powerhouse Museum. Climb the AMP tower building (used to be called Centrepoint) to get a birdseye 360 degree view of the city.

2. Northern NSW

Top 10 things to do:

Visit Timbertown, a heritage village at Wauchope.
Take the Yamba-Iluka ferry to the whale-watching platform on Bluff Beach, Iluka.
Visit the Pet Porpoise Pool at Coffs Harbour.
Do a night tour to see koalas at Pine Creek National Park near Coffs Harbour.
Take the Everglades Waterbus Tour in Port Macquarie.
Brave the Skywalk in Dorrigo National Park.
Have a choc-coated banana at the Big Banana after you do all the rides.
Try go-kart racing at the Raleigh International Raceway.
Paint the breakwater at Nambucca - it's legal!

3. Port Macquarie and surrounds

Port Macquarie, is about four hours north of Sydney on the New South Wales North Coast.

About halfway between Sydney and Brisbane Port Macquarie offers a top spot for families of all sizes.

There are no less than 15 beaches, long winding rivers, rainforests, breathtaking mountains, and a very friendly year long climate.

You could try:- horse riding, cycling, sailing, cruising, wind surfing, paragliding, waterskiing, kart racing, and tennis.

Why not take a Camel rides on Lighthouse beach.

Cuddle a koala at the Billabong Koala and Wildlife Park, do some dolphin spotting on the Hastings and Camden Haven Rivers, whale watch, relax on a Barbecue Boat or get some blood pumping by hiring a jet ski.

Take a river cruise, cast a line from any number of local "spots" or enjoy a swim or walk at one of the many beaches.

Top family beaches: Shelly Beach, Dunbogan's Pilot Beach, and the beach inlet at Lake Cathie are more protected and ideal for young children and so is Settlement Point with its river frontage, play area and barbecues.

So there you have my top 3 Australian East Coast destinations for families. I trust you found this information helpful for your next holiday and I hope he kids will never say "I'm bored!"
