Hong Kong Here We Come

Sunday, January 24th, 2010

I love Hong Kong! I’ve been there twice. One with my mom, my sister and our relatives from Chicago last 2004 and then I came back with my Husband the next year to have our honeymoon. On Wednesday, we will be coming back with our son and the rest of my family, minus my sister who now lives in Canada. And I bet we will have a grand time just like our previous trips. With my notebook and HK map, I hope I will be an accurate tour guide so the whole family will get to see The Peak and we plan on watching this on our first day…

Light Show at 8PM

and I will definitely do a lot of this for my husband…

Of course the trip will not be complete without going here…

I can see my son’s face when he sees Buzz and Woody! As for me? I plan to do a lot of this…

I love Hong Kong food. I wish to eat a lot of dimsum, noodles and my favorite roasted Duck! Yum!

2 Major Travels this Year

Tuesday, January 5th, 2010

Well actually, the trip in Hong Kong is confirmed already. We have our plane tickets already and our hotel packages from the agency are already paid so by January 27, we are all set to go and enjoy Disney and the other sights in the Lively City of Hong Kong. We are also planning a trip to the US of A on May. Why May? Well, it’s the only month my sister who now lives in Canada can take a month off from her work. As much as I want to be excited about this trip because I will be seeing my sister again, this trip is only tentative for me and my boys. I would love to see Florida, their Disney there and checking in in one of the Destin Florida Hotels since I haven’t been to Florida and my Aunt promised she’ll be taking us there but May is a crucial month for my Husband’s work, it’s elections month and we don’t know yet if it will be a good decision to leave while all the fuss in the government is going on. So the other trip, well we are still undecided. We’ll see when we get there. :D

Dream Family Destination

Friday, December 18th, 2009

As much as I love the cold weather, I would love my son to experience the sand, the wind and the water. He loves the water. He’s not afraid of it which is I think, it would be a blast to bring him to one of those cancun family vacations I saw online. It will be fun to stay in a Gourmet Inclusive resorts and hotels like that of the Karisma, where the ultimate escape with your family will be a blast! The Azul Beach Hotel on a beautiful stretch of the Bahia Pentempich beach in Puerto Moreles has family friendly amenities that you and your kids will love. Who would have thought of extras like strollers, cribs, baby milk heaters, beach games, coloring books, refrigerators for milk and medicines, and even kid-sized bathrobes. Such a brilliant idea that they don’t just think of the adults but also the kids. I’m sure we will love to go and maybe go back again because going to places so family oriented is the place to be. Vacations are meant for families anyway!

NYC Bus Charters

Thursday, November 12th, 2009

My cousin who worked in a law office in Washington went to New York City for a short business and leisure trip with his colleagues and he was raving about they ride. He told that it was a nice experience riding the Charter bus NYC. Their bus was so nice and clean and not to mention that their driver drives safely and was courteous. They had the luxury to ride on those nice looking buses that only celebrities ride on. Their bosses made sure they experience luxury on their first business slash leisure trip. I was telling him how lucky his bosses are rich and that they are willing to share the blessing to their employees or else they won’t have the comfort of traveling with those big awesome charter buses from NYC Bus Charters. I wish we have something like NYC Bus Charters here in our country. It will be a treat to employees like us to travel be in business or in leisure if we are traveling with one of these amazing buses. I want to experience riding in one. I bet my cousin can’t wait for their next trip, I know I would if we are all traveling in comfort.

Sights in NYC

Thursday, November 12th, 2009

Who doesn’t love New York City? If you are taking a trip to the United States, New York City should be in your list. Every place and every spot there is something nice to offer for each member of the family. There are so many things that you can do in New York City, you can tour the city to visit the nice museums, shop to all the stores from branded items to those thrifty shops, try different cuisines in all the restaurants all around the city. You can also visit the popular places like the Empire State or Rockefeller Center. New York Sightseeing can be loads of fun if you have something like City Sights NY to rely to when it comes to making your itinerary.You can just go to their site and see all the possibilities the city has to offer. They even have those double decker buses that goes around the city. You can even know the nice places to visit near New York City like The Statue of Liberty. This site will surely be bookmarked. We will be going to the US next year and we will definitely rely on City Sights NY if ever we drop by New York City. See you soon NYC. I can’t wait to visit all the nice places I wasn’t able to see during my first trip there back in 2000. This is going to be very exciting.

See you soon NYC! :D

Find Great Dining in London

Tuesday, November 10th, 2009

I love traveling and what makes it more exciting when you travel is the food. Food and travel should always be together. You should explore everything and that includes the popular food in every place you go to. Restaurants in every place especially those that are new to you should be tried or else your trip will be worthless. I always wanted to go to London, I know traveling to UK places will be very expensive but I still dream of it because I know someday, I will be going there. Have you ever gone to a place where you almost got lost for food? My husband and I had an experience in Hong Kong during our honeymoon. There was bird’s flu then so we were really scared to try chicken or duck so we went around the city for almost 2 hours just to look for a descent place to have dinner since we don’t want eating in a fastfood.

If we only knew about QYPE then maybe we didn’t have to suffer from hunger going around Nathan Road in Hong Kong. So you bet, I will definitely have that bookmarked for future trips especially when looking for the popular, posh list of Restaurants London. I heard you should try French cuisine when you’re in London. Wines are highly recommended. But of course, a friend who has been to London also told me to bookmark the Pubs London list so I can go out and have fun during the night with my husband. It’s not everyday you get to experience a night out in London right? I was browsing the site and there are so much to discover in every place, not just about food but the places you can go to while you are on a trip to a certain place. I love this new discovery and all travelers should know about a great site like QYPE.

Booked

Monday, November 2nd, 2009

D and I were talking about him looking for a job abroad, two in our family actually got great opportunities abroad by just trying their luck in finding one online and in broadsheets. Both are single but if they have families on their own, they can take them with them. So D is inspired and is actually looking for a job at philadelphia job listings while I on the other hand is actually busy with something else. What? Looking at info and guides to see this in January…

Yes, we’re booked and I’m too excited that my son will see this next year. I won’t miss this for him. He loves seeing lights and this won’t be an exemption. Oh this will be a treat and I’m too excited to see his reaction!

These Boots are Made for Walking

Wednesday, October 28th, 2009

We might experience cold weather this January and aside from Disneyland and shopping, I’m actually excited to use some winter clothes. Ever since I knew about fashion, I always dream of sporting some winter clothes but we are living in a tropical country which makes it impossible but when traveling then it would be possible. I’ve been drooling for these boots and they are on sale at ALDO. It would be very nice to wear one in one of those winter orlando vacations maybe next year? Oh my goodness…

and I’m particularly in love with this casual boots, which are actually very affordable for just $30…

I Love NY

Wednesday, October 28th, 2009

Sister in law will be going to LA this December. Too bad she can’t go around the US since this will be a very short trip. New York would have been a great place to visit. If I could only come with her maybe we can drop by New York and get a car service with Car Service NY of Go Airlink NYC so we can just be dropped from one place to another without worrying about the parking. Reservations are hassle free since they have on line reservation 24/7. They are always reliable and on time, from what my aunt told me, you will be never late in doing your itinerary with them. I have an Illinois driver’s license and I think I am authorized to drive in some other states but in New York City, you would need a very reliable car service to take you to places. They have an array of prestigious cars but I would love to rent an very luxurious sedan or maybe a cool SUV where we can ride all throughout New York City, Westchester, Connecticut, JFK, LaGuardia and Newark Airports. Yes, they can even take us upon arrival and departure to the airport when we need it. Definitely, when we come to NYC next year, they will be in my list of things to do before the trip.

New York! New York!

Monday, October 26th, 2009

One of the places I’ve enjoyed visiting when I was in the United States was New York City. It’s definitely a city that never sleeps. We arrived at around 9pm there and the city is still very much alive with all the lights and traffic. There is so much to do when you’re in New York. New York City Sightseeing will definitely be so much fun. I heard from my best friend that riding the double-decker buses promises the best possible views of New York City. You will definitely have the best sight of all the attractions, neighborhoods and places of interest. My best friend loves New York as well, lucky her, she had the chance to see the Rockefeller Center and the Empire State. I on the other hand only saw the outside of the Empire State and wasn’t able to go to Rockefeller. We both agreed that we want to come back to New York someday, maybe together. We heard of great services from City Sights NY. Imagine helicopter tours of the great city or the double-decker bus my best friend was talking about. They even have night tours where you can see the best Manhattan skyline during the night. Some people think that shopping is the only activity you can do in New York City but they are proven wrong, with the tours and all, New York promises you a great time touring the museums and landmarks plus you can try the variety of great food all around the city and its neighboring places. I will definitely come back to NYC and this time, I will avail of the City Sights NY tours to make it more memorable.
