Visiting New Jersey Anytime Soon?



Planning a trip to the US?

How about New Jersey?!

If you do plan to go there, the site Destination: Jersey City provides a good strategy for your plans.


Destination: Jersey City provides maps which use AJAX technology to allow maximum interactivity!! Okay that was an overstatement =) But if you have used yahoo or Google Maps, you will find the map tool quite useful. =)

You can actually click on the map for a particular district and zoom in on the places of interest. The maps also has legends to tell you what the location is for, dining, entertainment or accomodation and so on. Pretty neat. Below is a screenshot:






Destination: Jersey City also introduces New Jersey to you =) With highlights like the Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island and many more. Point is: it is a rather good write up and you really should go check Destination: Jersey City out and use it as a reference if you are planning to check out NJ.


Oh and one of the nice things about this site is that it is really ALIVE =)

As in it is actually active, for example, check out the calendar function and you can see the upcoming events in the city. Not too bad I would say. It has current events up to the month. And you can even search for the events via category or the date/time of the event!


Best of all Destination: Jersey City actually incorporates the fact that you my dear traveller are actually going to have to make plans. (Hey you spend good money to get there, you better plan!)

The planning function can be found on the top navigation bar, and it give you a sequential list of places you can visit depending on what you are interested in, so that you do not have to go round in circles =) Essentially it gives you a dynamic itinerary.

Well, enough here already, go check Destination: Jersey City out!
