Great Lakes Schooner Company is a niche cruise line offering private charters rather than regularly scheduled cruises. Instead of a package of long trips like some of the luxury cruise lines do, the company offers a unique blend of short day and dinner trips around Toronto Harbor and Lake Ontario. What really sets these cruise packages apart from standard luxury cruises are the ships that are used.

The Kajama is a 164-foot, 3 masted Schooner.

Central, on Hong Kong Island, is where colonial Hong Kong started its life from, back in the 1840s, and where some of the city’s most glitzy skyscrapers and swish shopping malls currently stand. As a matter of fact, the area sometimes looks like a showcase of the world’s leading architects…

This article will guide you through a few of Central’s most architecturally fascinating buildings.

Naturally, unless you are staying at one of the hotels nearby, you will start your visit to “Central” from either MTR-Central or the Star Ferry Pier.

Two IFC Tower – Just between the ferry pier and the Airport Express Station, is currently the city’s tallest skyscraper, although it is soon going to lose its supremacy to the upcoming International Commerce Centre in Kowloon.

Soaring to a height of 415 m, this contemporary obelisk-shaped megatower is possibly Hong Kong skyline’s most striking feature. It was architected by Cesar Pelli, the famous Argentinian born architect who is behind the Petronas Twin Towers in Malaysia, and attracted some controversy at the time, as it breached the Metro-plan guidelines not allowing new buildings to cut Mount Victoria’s ridge-line, when seen from different key points along the harbour, including Tsim Sha Tsui’s waterfront esplanade.

Rising to 346 m, The Center is Hong Kong’s fourth tallest skyscraper, and one of the only highrises in the city that is entirely steel-structured, with no reinforced concrete core.

Other than its unique polygonal circumference, “The Centre” is particularly distinguished for its neon-lights-arrangement, comprising almost 10,000 neon tubes in different colors, which turns the building into one of the most prominent features of the “Symphony of lights” show.

There is a skylobby on the 42nd floor, which serves as an observation deck.

HSBC Hong Kong headquarters building (or simply HSBC Building) stands across the road from Statue Square and features a classic example of Hong Kong’s modern architecture, combining contemporary design with traditional Feng Shui philosophy…

Designed by famous British architect, Norman Foster, this 180 metres tall building has a module design, consisting of five steel modules with no internal support structure.

As a lifelong New Yorker, and someone who is generally wary of tourist scams, I was definitely expecting the all New York Pass Discount options to be another tourist scam and was very skeptical when analyzing whether or not they could be recommended. The short answer, is that in MOST cases, they can offer a savings. You have to make sure you are evaluating the passes correctly and reading into any hidden costs.

When planning your vacation, questions to ask are:

Empire State Building – Do you want to go to the indoor-only 102nd Floor Observatory or to the 86th Floor Observatory (the one in all the movies with both indoors and outdoors)? The 86th floor is included in all the Passes, the 102nd floor is an additional fee.
American Museum of Natural History – are you going to the Planetarium and Space Show (which everyone says is a Must See)? If so, check your pass for details – the Planetarium will cost an additional $20 for the New York Pass and New York City Explorer Pass.
Are you able to see any of the Museums on their Free or Pay-As-You-Wish Days and Times? Do you know which Museums are suggested donation vs.
