nospam@example.com (Lady Limelight) — Wed, 01 Feb 2012 14:24:17 -0700

With Valentine’s Day just around the corner, some of you may be wondering what would be the best thing to do without breaking the bank. Well, here are a couple of suggestions. As a part of the Winter Starlight Music Series, The Hans Holzen Trio will be performing at the Top of the Rock at Rockefeller Center. Watch the performance for free with your admission ticket on this romantic night while sipping your favorite cocktail and enjoying your preferred snacks.

Prefer to take sail instead of being stuck indoors? Here’s to the amazing Hornblower Hybrid which is an eco-friendly cruise which will set sail on the February 11th and 14th. We have a pretty good idea that the cruise is going to be rather packed so, book a place as soon as you can. If the cruise is unavailable, you can, of course, call US Coachways up and use our New York City charter bus rental (could be anything from a luxury limousine to a party bus that you can enjoy with your friends and their partners) packages.

Get thinking and be creative with what you want to do during Valentine’s Day in New York City. This is, after all, the city that never sleeps. For details about our New York City charter bus rental services, please head over to our fleets page or give our customer service staff a call right now.

Accommodation Budget – Should It Be A Concern?

nospam@example.com (Lady Limelight) — Wed, 25 Jan 2012 21:33:11 -0700

There are many things that people worry about when it comes to budget travel and one of the biggest budget buster is actually accommodation. Luckily for many tourists who are heading over to Connecticut, the options when it comes to cheap sleeps is almost endless. From small motels to home stays; from dorms to small hotels, there are plenty of them over here and we often do not hesitate to point them out to our bus charter Connecticut customers.

Holiday Inn Express Hotel & Suites is one such hotel. In one hotel, you have multiple options so that customers can choose one that suit their budget. The amenities are great and hotel clean. Another fantastic budget-stay option would be The Omni New Haven Hotel at Yale. According to some of our bus charter Connecticut customers, the package that comes with free breakfast is a MUST because of the view from the top of the hotel building.

When it comes to finding a good accommodation, remember that it is not top priority. If you are vacationing with your family members or friends, the priority is to reserve it for food, entertainment and transportation. As long as you keep your perspective and expectations right, there shouldn’t be a problem with your budget.

Happy traveling and exploring Connecticut!

Denver Restaurants For Great Dates

nospam@example.com (Lady Limelight) — Tue, 10 Jan 2012 21:19:14 -0700

Looking for a nice restaurant to eat out with your spouse or partner? Here are a few suggestions.

There is no denying that when it comes to pricing, Angelo’s is one of the best. The ambiance is not as romantic as some may like it to be but it is extremely casual and the restaurant, at the point of writing this, does not take table reservations. They can’t promise you a romantic ambiance but they do promise some of the best pizzas around.

For health-conscious Denver charter bus rental customers, your best bet would be Root Down Restaurant located along 33rd Ave. The dishes available in this restaurant use organic local products which should be perfect for folks who like local, fresh ingredients and upon request, they can prepare vegan and gluten-free dishes too.

And after a fulfilling dinner, head over to the White Chocolate Grill. As the name suggests, the outlet serves up some of the best desserts around. Located on Lone Tree, the location is a little off downtown area but the molten chocolate soufflé will be well worth the drive.

In the meantime, remember to check out some of our available Denver charter bus rental packages which we can tailor-make for just about any event.

Mainly because of the sunny weather and all-year-round fun events, the sunny shores of Miami is a big hit with foreign visitors as well as our local Miami charter bus rental customers.

And speaking of events, the Art Basel Miami Beach event this year was an incredible success. Every year, Miami and Basel (Switzerland) teams up together to hold the event.

Kid-friendly Detroit Zoo Worth Your Time

nospam@example.com (Lady Limelight) — Mon, 21 Nov 2011 18:08:31 -0700

Some contend that it is one of the best attractions there is in Detroit while others think that the Detroit Zoo is…just like any other zoos that they have been to. The perspective and how you view this beautiful and well-organized Detroit charter bus rental attraction depends on what you are expecting from it. During the summer, many of the animals are sleepy and inactive when you visit them. In the meantime, they are all out and about during spring and autumn.

One of our customers who took her daughter there during spring enjoyed a very exclusive and educational dinosaur exhibit. The exhibit isn’t there all the time but she took the cue from a notification on the zoo’s website. The polar bears are surprisingly friendly too. As you take a walk under the tunnel where the bears are housed, they will gaze at you in wonderment, as if interested to get to know you better. Suffice to say, the Detroit Zoo is great for young kids, and not so great for teenagers who may think of it as childish. It all depends on your child’s inclination.

The zoo, in our opinion, is larger than many other zoos found in other states and cities, and is well worth a visit. If you are a school or charitable organization, you might want to check out some of our unbelievable Detroit charter bus rental deals that we dish out on a regular basis by joining our online social networking accounts. It pays to stay connected and have fun if you are heading over to the Detroit Zoo.

Of the many things that the people of Baltimore can be proud of, one of the biggest reasons to be so would be its unique cultural blend that is a result of being located right smack in between the northern states and the southern one. It also has a robust working class history which makes the culture here even more distinctive. As a leading Baltimore charter bus rental company, US Coachways is proud to tell the world that in Baltimore, the saying ‘there is more than meets the eye’ is truer here than anywhere else in the country…and we are incredibly proud to be serving the people of this amazing city.

It is the highlight of anyone even slightly interested in architecture, culture and history of the country and this city. Many of the houses located in some parts of the city retains the original designs and features. Long gone are the days that they make rowhouses with the marble floorings and doorsteps. Although urbanization of the older neighborhoods is an unavoidable thing, the authorities recognize that they need to retain as much of the culture of Baltimore as possible during the planning stages.

A Great Dining Experience At Gaslamp Quarters

nospam@example.com (Lady Limelight) — Mon, 07 Nov 2011 18:44:11 -0700

To most people who come here to San Diego, Gaslamp Quarters is just your average conventional over hyped tourist attraction and cultural center. It is a pity that they do not know, like some of our San Diego charter bus rental customers, that it is a great dining destination. From Italian cuisine to Mediterranean fanfare, it is all to be found here right here, in Gaslamp Quarters.

For Italian food, you get to choose from the likes of Toast Enoteca & Cucina, Bice Ristorante and also, not forgetting, the famous de'Medici Cucina Italiana! The price of each dish depends very much on the restaurant that you pick but overall, they are mostly quite affordable and offer the promise of a wonderful feast. As far as wine bars are concerned, The Grape, Wine Bar and Ivy Wine Bar and Ultra Lounge bring you some of the best wines from around the world. If you are not familiar with wine selection and quality, we assure you that the experts can recommend some you some.

For out-of-towners who have never been here in San Diego, eat what the locals love and for that, you can find them easily at famous San Diego restaurants like Madame Cora's Marble Room, New Leaf Restauarant, Stingaree Restaurant and Nightclub or ask our San Diego charter bus rental bus driver to bring you around to Cafe 21.

Cartoon Art Museum Features Archie And Gang (San Francisco)

nospam@example.com (Lady Limelight) — Wed, 02 Nov 2011 17:21:04 -0600

They may not be real people but the teenage Riverdale gang ‘led’ by redhead Archie Andrews and his burger-loving friend, Jughead, sure had a big effect on our lives since it was created. Not only did Archie, Jughead, Veronica and Betty entertain people here in the US, Archie was (and some contend that they continue to be) a one of the biggest cartoon hits in the comic world.

In months, we saw a sudden surge in the number of people who took up our San Francisco charter bus rental services to Cartoon Art Museum, a precious gem located along Mission St., so, we took a look at it and found that the museum had a special exhibit for Archie and gang from July 2011 to end of the year. You still have time to catch it if you are there. Archie lovers are going to enjoy the surprising feature on Sabrina the witch and also Josie and her posse.

Apparently, you are not just going to see just the final prints and publication history of the series, you are going to catch some preliminary sketches as well. It is always interesting to see what went ‘wrong’ before the final thing came about. This is a family-friendly, kid-friendly exhibit, so bring the kids along for the ride and it could be the perfect time to introduce the young ones to joys of reading the antics of Archie and his Riverdale gangs.

If you are planning to head over to catch the exhibit before December and is in need of a good San Francisco charter bus rental package, the number to call would be 1-855-BUS-CHARTER. We can’t wait to be at your service.

Top Must-See Must-Do Los Angeles Tourist Attractions

nospam@example.com (Lady Limelight) — Thu, 27 Oct 2011 14:52:32 -0600

Yes, whilst it is true that one of the most popular and sought-after attractions in Los Angeles is Disneyland, it should not be your only focus. And besides, Disneyland (during peak season), can be havoc, especially for impatient kids. If you want to find out where to go where you can truly chill out and relax with your loved ones, here are some top attractions in Los Angeles.

Party bus drivers and event organizers can tell you, first hand, that many vacationers love their trips to Catalina Island. Located slightly off downtown, the trip to this Mediterranean haven will be well worth the trip. One of the things that will automatically take your breath away is the gorgeous scenery and beach-side scenery which will be your personal sanctuary for as long as you want. There is a very laid-back ambiance around here with lots of people chilling around the pool and beside the beaches; what more, in many places, you will catch people driving around golf carts and not cars. Quite an amazing sight in Los Angeles. Party bus tourists will come in throngs, so book your hotels and transportation ahead of time to avoid disappointment.

Those of you who are hunting for good, reliable and affordable Los Angeles party buses, get ready to go heady with our out-of-this-world amazing bus rental rates in LA!

As an alternative to the much-crowded Disneyland, 8 Flags is a wonderful for kids, teens and grown-ups alike. Here is a place where you can leave your worries, stress, anxiety and work problems at the door and pump up the adrenaline with the tallest and fastest roller coaster known to mankind. Not for the faint-hearted, however. There are milder rides for those who prefer not to scare themselves senseless during the vacation in Los Angeles. Another must would be the Magic Mountain where you can get quite shaken up so, tighten the seatbelts.

Here in Los Angeles, party bus are often used to ferry people around during their vacations. Reason? Simple. The sunny weather can sometimes have no mercy on the skin and traffic, (this can be a killjoy factor for those of you who intend to rent a car and drive around yourself. And if you have a party bus, you SHOULD slot in a day for Universale Studios, a famously entertaining tourist attraction themed rides and park. There is a short guided tour for those who want to learn more about the studio to learn about the behind-the-scene works, props and life in the (fast and furious) filming industry. Although the admission ticket is incredibly pricey, I would have to say that it is worth every single cent of it. To avoid the crowd, plan and book ahead of time and if you can avoid it, visit during off peak season.

There you have it, our favorite Los Angeles tourist spots – hope it helped you put together your itinerary better.

nospam@example.com (Lady Limelight) — Sun, 23 Oct 2011 13:13:38 -0600

Suffice to say, Detroit is one of the top tourist destinations in the country. Foreigners who are not into shopping, locals who are looking for a nice, relaxing day out or people from other parts of the country who are looking for something fun to do in a different city, they always end up having an incredibly memorable time in Detroit.

Bus Charter services may make your trip much easier, more comfortable and perhaps you will get more time to spend at the attractions because you do not have to battle with the crowd, the traffic and waste so much time looking for a parking space when you drive yourself. Detroit, having experienced an incredible percentage of growth over the years, is as hustling and bustling as many other cities in the country. So, don’t expect empty roads, malls and tourist attractions. During summer months in Detroit, bus charter packages are quickly snapped up by tour companies in anticipation of throngs of people from all corners of the world and the country.

There are tons of things to do in Detroit and here are some really amazing and unforgettable kid-friendly places in Detroit.

The Detroit Science Center is also another great place for education and fun at the same time. The kids (even teenagers, they don’t say it but personally, they like it here as well) will get to learn practical things about earth, the people and how things work through the many hands-on activities. If you are really particular about what you expose your kids to, head over to their website and find out more about this attraction in Detroit.

Bus Charter companies working with tour companies are also familiar with the fact that people from other countries are really curious about the culture here, since it is so intensely different from the everyday world that they live in.

And of course, nobody should forget about taking the bus to the Detroit’s Children Museum when they have kids tagging along with them…there are puzzles, a special cozy little reading corner, kid-friendly computers and building blocks to keep the toddlers occupied while the other kids dabble on with the other hands-on activities.

nospam@example.com (Lady Limelight) — Tue, 11 Oct 2011 16:10:52 -0600

October may be the month when everyone’s talking about Halloween. We know many moms are busy trying to put the Halloween costumes, pumpkin carving and treats together while the kids are getting all excited for some serious Trick or Tweeting but nothing can really steal the show from Houston’s Holiday Parade. On November 24, 2011, Houston locals will be gearing up for the biggest party of the year with some going to the party in throngs with our Houston charter bus rental services all booked up.

Expect a live crowd of at least 400,000 people from all walks of life and everywhere in the world. Proceeds made from the many stalls during the Houston Holiday Parade will go towards some selected foundations which mean that you get to have fun for a good cause – a fab way to kill two birds with one stone. You can’t miss the Parade (even if you tried to) because the parade is happening right smack in the middle of downtown. The parade will start from Minute Maid Park and ends in Dallas.

There is no admission fee for the general public but if you want a seat during the parade, tickets are selling for anything between $12 and $75.

Christmas – A Small Town In Florida With Big Surprises

nospam@example.com (Lady Limelight) — Sun, 02 Oct 2011 20:56:52 -0600

Yes, the town is called Christmas and although it is one of the least known communities in Florida, we do have our Florida charter bus rental customers ring us up whenever they want to group travel to somewhere less known (it is possible to get tired of Disneyland after all) and quaint.

The town is located slightly 20 miles of Orlando FL but is easily accessible especially hen you are using our reliable charter bus rental services. Christmas is slightly quiet during summer months as people would prefer to hit other ‘more fun’ places but during winter, it is only natural to come to place named Christmas in FL. In other states, the wreath is usually seen when Christmas is approaching but for the residents of Christmas, the wreath is a common site…quite understandably so.

Christmas boasts of a well-maintained Fort Christmas Historical Park, Jungle Nature Park and an exciting RV park. If you feel like roughing things up a little bit, we strongly recommend the Tosohatchee Reserve State Park for a good camping trip.

For those of you who are heading here in a group, remember to give US Coachways a call for professional, reliable and affordable Florida charter bus rental services.
