Voice of Travelers to Guyana
Beautiful Beaches in Guyana
A long time ago I had seen a documentary about Guyana and that was when I decided I wanted to visit. I wanted to find a cheap direct flight and found one for JFK to Guyana for only USD 200! How lucky! I bought a return ticket right away. Guyana has wonderful beaches and I fell in love with them. It is a very romantic place to spend a vacation. I am back now, but I am already browsing ticket portal sites like skyticket for a cheap ticket to return there soon.
My delayed flight to Guyana
My parents live in Guyana, so I try to visit them anytime I find a reasonable flight ticket. I found one in April which was perfect for my father's birthday, but I had to re-book the ticket because of the bad storms in Guyana. Eventually, I flew out and made it for my father's birthday. While there I also visited the Promenade Gardens since I had never been there despite living most of my life in Guyana. There was no ticket entrance fee and I could walk around all day. For someone like me who has moved to a city with very little green, walking through the gardens was very nice and calming. Highly recommended for budget travelers that love gardens!
