Courageous Sailing Center (Boston MA)

I never knew sailing could be quite so fun but out of the encouragement of my friends during a rental charter bus trip to Boston MA, I took the chance and decided to hop on board. The sailing center we went to is called Courageous Sailing Center which is located on the picturesque Charlestown Navy Yard. On top of learning how to sail during the rental charter bus trip in Boston MA, I had a splendid time watching families having their weekend fun and enjoy the amazing view of the Boston Harbor. Took lots of pictures too, of course. They have many different types of sailing lessons for people of different skill levels, so don’t worry about it if you’re a little nervous about taking on the lessons during your Boston MA rental charter bus trip.

Buckingham Fountain (Chicago IL)

There were two sets of emotions floating in and out my head as I watched this beautiful fountain during one of my many rental charter bus trips to Chicago IL – romance and peace. It’s one of the biggest fountains in the world and it’s right here in the heart of Chicago and remains to be one of the most popular spots for local lovers and tourists by rental charter bus. I guess it’s hard to blame them as those graceful dancing horses are absolutely heart warming. In my personal opinion, it’s not just a place for locals to relax and unwind; it’s also a public piece of art. Kate Buckingham, accordingly, envisioned the special effects she calls ‘soft moonlight’ – and boy, did she hit the nail on the head. It’s simply magnificent.

Varsity Downtown (Atlanta Georgia)

For those who want their food really fast should head over to Varsity in Atlanta Georgia! Or if you have a rented charter bus holiday in Varsity and the kids are screaming their heads off in hunger, this is where you should bring the charter bus round to too. But if you’re looking for healthy fine dining, this is not the place for you. There’s this one time, I rented a charter bus in Atlanta Georgia with a bunch of crazy school friends and we didn’t have the time to eat a proper meal the whole day, by 4pm, we were starving. I could’ve eaten a nuclear plant. But that was not I ate. The rented charter bus driver took us to Varsity Downtown and I absolutely fell in love with the place.

Titanic, Ship of Dreams Exhibit (Orlando Florida)

I hate things cheesy….and I am not talking about food either. But Titanic, Ship of Dreams Exhibit in Orlando Florida is still a worthwhile attraction despite its very obvious link to the movie instead of the real life and times of the Titanic….the one that sank. It would have been a much better Orlando FL charter bus experience if the exhibit dedicate the exhibit to the actual ship instead of the one featuring Leonardo. But that’s OK, I guess. It was still an amazing rental charter bus stop in Orlando FL for us. This Orlando FL rental charter bus attraction is at International Drive’s Mercado shopping center and if you’re ever in Orlando FL for a trip, be sure to bring the kids around to it – they’ll be enthralled by it all!

Hugh Taylor Birch State Park (fort lauderdale FL)

Fort Lauderdale FL, although isn’t as packed tight as New York or Miami but it’s a growing city with a growing number of people renting charter buses for holidays. If you’re looking for a respite in this tourist attraction, you can always head on over to Hugh Taylor Birch State Park which is one of the most tranquil places in Fort Lauderdale FL. Located off the East, this amazingly beautiful one-hundred-and-eighty acre park is nestled in between the vast Atlantic Ocean and Inland Waterway. You would have to rent a Fort Lauderdale FL charter bus for a trip here to appreciate the sheer exquisiteness of this place. But what is more…..it’s a place where people go to for all kinds of water-related activities, which includes swimming, surfing and fishing.

Jungle Queen Riverboat (Fort Lauderdale FL)

You don’t go on Jungle Queen Riverboat in Fort Lauderdale FL to experience Las Vegas entertainment, let me tell you that right off! But it was one of the most fun things I did with my friends during a Fort Lauderdale FL rental charter bus trip there. We rented the bus without knowing what we wanted to do for the day; the charter bus driver was nice enough to suggest many Fort Lauderdale FL tourist attractions to us and Jungle Queen Riverboat was one of them. Despite the dilapidated condition of the riverboat, the experience was really fun. I read somewhere that this Fort Lauderdale FL rental charter bus attraction has been around for, like….forever. 50 years, they said. On board, what you’re bargaining for is decent food but excellent entertainment and view. There’s nothing like dining on board a riverboat like that to test your stomach muscles!

Embassy Inn (Washington DC)

Won’t you agree with me that when it comes to traveling, one of the biggest budget concerns is the place you stay in? if you have somewhere to stay in during your Washington DC rental charter bus holiday there, you’re one lucky chum! When I rented a Washington DC charter bus for a holiday there, I tried out the Embassy Inn downtown and it was a really great experience. It’s nothing to shout about in terms of amenities but after their renovation in ’87, I’d say the 38-room historical inn is one smashing place to stay in. according to the lady manning the counter, the Embassy Inn has been serving charter bus tourists ever since 1910 and many of them were like me, enchanted with the traditional style of décor and furniture setting!

Harriet Beecher Stowe House (Hartford Connecticut)

I grew up with books and one of my favorite books of all time is Uncle Tom’s Cabin. Hence, when I got the chance to rent a charter bus to Hartford Connecticut for a quick weekend visit, I made sure I scheduled in some time to visit the Harriet Beecher Stowe’s House. Although it’s not the kind of place where you can find tourists pouring out of rented Harford CT charter buses, it’s worth a visit if you love her books and her personality….it’s enchanting, I promise you. As I stepped inside the house during my Hartford rental charter bus visit, I felt like I was sucked into a surreal world of the past. Apparently, in 1873 Harriet Beecher Stowe bought this modest little cottage, she spent a lot of time working on her books and gardens. She loved Victorian stuff, and this is an apparent fact when you visit this Hartford CT tourist attraction. The author stayed there with her twin daughters till her death, so it’s a really significant place in Hartford for me.

Old Sacramento (Sacramento California)

I had so much fun at Old Sacramento that I actually rented a room nearby one of the hotels during one rental charter bus holiday trip to Sacramento CA just so I can go back. You know, the city is so much less fun after a visit to a place like Old Sacramento – no, seriously, I mean it. it’s all dirt and cobblestone and takes you way back by decades. There’s something to be said about all those out-of-style buildings and historical places that even an adult like me find to be fun. I fancied one of those rides around Old Sacramento via a horse-drawn carriage – so, during that charter bus trip, I told the bus driver to go get himself a beer and I took a carriage ride! Amazing experience, I’m telling you and if you’ve not done this before, you don’t know what you’re missing. Some tourists who thronged to this place in their rented charter buses opted for the riverboat ride tour instead.

Manhattan's N.Y. Deli & Pub (Manhattan NY)

There are so many hangout places in Manhattan NY to go to and they usually either cater for the ‘drinkers’ or the ‘party-goers’. I remember I was surprisingly delighted when we took the Manhattan NY rental charter bus to a place called Manhattan N.Y. Deli & Pub during a trip there. Maybe it was the fact that I had great company – but this is the kind of place that promotes a healthy dose of socializing. It’s not one of those hip and hopping dance clubs, nor is this an elite Manhattan NY rental charter bus tourist attraction but it’s really very cozy and nice. Nestled comfortably in a neighborhood called Oyster Point, if you want to have fun mixing around with your group of friends or other locals, make your way to the Manhattan N.Y. Deli & Pub.

Minneapolis Institute of Art (Minneapolis MN)

I found my visit to Minneapolis Institute of Arts during one rental charter bus holiday in Minnesota very interesting, despite the fact that I wasn’t all that hot about art and historical stuff. The interesting part of about this Minneapolis MN rental charter bus tourist attraction is that they managed to strike the right balance….a little bit of this, a little bit of that….which I think is pretty hard to do. Now, if it was an African-American historical museum, they would have everything there within the theme. If it was the Holocaust museum, then it’s Holocaust. But the MIA, as many people in Minneapolis calls it, is exceptional simply because it’s got almost everything in it.

Harriet Tubman House (Boston MA)

The Harriet Tubman House in Boston MA, although not a place where kids and teenagers would find exciting or remotely interesting, I think I would recommend this rental charter bus tourist attraction to history buffs, people interested in historical buildings, history of the country, history of Boston, etc. the building itself comes along with a lot of mystery and history….well, not a lot mystery, actually. Anyway, if you’re around in Boston MA, tell the rental charter bus driver to bring you down to Columbus Avenue for a quick look-around in The Harriet Tubman House. It’s a pretty neat and interesting place because of the richness in history and even if you’re not really into all that kind of stuff, it’d be nice for the photo album or your photoblog.

Harborside International Golf Center (Chicago Illinois)

If your arms are just itching to swing that golf club you have stashed in the charter bus or your hotel room in Chicago IL, here’s what you can do. experience top class golfing at Harborside International Golf Center and if you don’t know where that is, ask the rental charter bus driver to bring you there….I’m pretty sure a lot of tourists have asked after this place before. During my Chicago IL rental charter bus holiday trip there, without the intention of playing golf there at all, I was dragged by my hair there. It’s a public golf course…..I was pretty sure the place was swarmed! Swarmed it was but it still retained a lot of the classy, elegant, calm and serene atmosphere.

Lenox Square (Atlanta Georgia)

I’ll admit that Lenox Square is not the fanciest, nor is it the most impressive shopping mall in Atlanta Georgia. In fact, it’s been around for a long time….a quick check on the Internet revealed that Lenox Square has been around since 1959! Well, I still enjoyed taking my Atlanta Georgia rental charter bus there one day with some old school friends. It wasn’t a shopping trip that we were looking for…it was more like we were a bunch of old school friends hanging out with nothing particular to do and just want to catch up. Turns out, the rental charter bus driver was right….Lenox Square was just right!
