1st Timer's Seattle Guide . Top Story - June 2019.
We explored Seattle a few weeks ago, and absolutely loved our time there so I wanted to share with y’all some of our favorites! We were visiting some friends in Bellingham, Washington which is about an hour away from Seattle, so we explored Bellingham for the weekend and then Seattle for a few days. We landed in Seattle on Thursday, and returned to Texas that next Tuesday night, and rented a car Friday-Tuesday. I’ll break down our itinerary and our favorite spots below. :)

My First Time in Las Vegas Gone Wrong
My first ever time in Las Vegas. My brother and I went to Vegas for three nights. Well... it was supposed to be three nights. Let me explain. I and my brother landed at the Vegas airport then took an Uber car to our hotel. we stayed at Harrah's hotel and casino. It was unbelievable. I never saw so many slots in one city. They even had slots at the Vegas airport... can you believe that? Then after that, we checked into our hotel room. Our hotel and room were beautiful. We walked over to the store and got some smoke (if you know what I mean) then went gambling for an hour, then went to our room for the night. The next morning we got up at about nine AM or so, and went gambling for a few hours then walked up to the Vegas strip and went to a few different casinos. We had the best time. I was losing money like no tomorrow, but I still had a good time.

Take a Risk
The greatest enjoyment I've had, waiting for the summer, is when spring rolls around in the desert, because many trees bloom with excitement and push these beautiful blossoms for a season of allure and beautiful fragrance. This is the highlight of my year and it comes and goes.

Sightseeing and Spires? The Best UK City Breaks
So what are some of the spots that you should be considering? Well allow me to divulge. Mad for Manchester The UK’s second city (or third depending who you ask) is becoming a destination that in a lot of aspects is rivaling London. In terms of sporting hotspots, there is Manchester United’s historical Old Trafford, as well as more modern Etihad Stadium of Manchester City. But if you’re more of a cricket kind of guy, then Lancashire Cricket Club also have a home called Old Trafford, this one being a cricket ground, which is a stone’s throw away from United’s ‘Theatre of Dreams’. Or if the nightlife is more your scene, there are plenty of options including the infamous LGBT scene in Canal Street. As well as that, there are some great art galleries in the form of the aptly named Manchester Art Gallery and the Lowry, which has a shopping centre right next to it. So what better excuse to go on a shopping spree? With sites such as Promo Codes For, you can get a whole host of discounts from loads of high street names. Places such as Currys-PC World and Camera King have some great discount codes, so why not treat yourself to a new camera to snap all the sights?

An Experience at the Tongo Whistling Rocks and Shrines, Ghana
A headset was firmly attached to my ear as I was listening to a documentary about a historical destination on BBC radio. During this time, we were almost on our way to the Whistling Rocks and Shrines. Shortly before the start of a turn, we found some excellent huge stones at close range. I was immediately fascinated by this scene. This is the Upper East region of Ghana. It is located in the north of the country, and is the second smallest administrative district in 10 districts of Ghana. The rocks sound like the blast of a whistle of a soccer referee. Tongo Whistling Rocks and Shrines is the claim to fame. The amazing part in the center of this attraction is that the Holy Land and the Heavy Stone are combined where you can go through the ritual process, and experience a feeling of luck, protection, and prosperity. Interestingly, religious customs are carried out carefully in different dimensions. People have to go semi-naked, and be blessed as they want.
