I Need A Break!

Aarrgghh, I feel so stressed out! I badly need a break. How I wish I can easily escape from all my responsibilities and book a flight right at this very minute.

Just a few days ago, my baby's dad and I were talking about traveling to various destinations when he comes home next year. This would be a perfect time for us to relax and also to talk about our future plans for our almost 3-month old baby girl. We do not have concrete travel destinations in mind, but we were considering Spain as an option.



Spain is a home to many beautiful towns and cities like Sitges, Marbella, Torremolinos, and Benidorm. Spending a nice vacation to any of these will sure be a pleasurable one. But to make the experience truly memorable, everything should be planned accordingly including the hotel accommodations.

Bohol Adventure

I'm getting more and more excited as the day of our trip to bohol comes nearer. Yup, we're going to Bohol! Me and my best buddies (Dex, Bow, Talie, and Glad) were planning this trip since last year. Before, we were contented to go nature-tripping in resorts here in Bicol. But last year, we decided to extend our boundaries and explore the beauty of Philippines. First stop - BOHOL!


The Island Paradise Province of Bohol

Located 803 km. south of Manila, Bohol is a part of Region VII Central Visayas with Tagbilaran City as its major city and capital. People from this place speak Boholano as their native dialect; but some also speak tagalog, English, and even Chinese.

Bohol is a home to the ever famous Chocolate Hills, making it one of the most visited places in the Philippines. But aside from this tourist attraction, there are lots of other places to visit in Bohol. One of these is Panglao Island.

Panglao Island


Panglao Island, which is located southwest of Bohol, is the place to be if you want to experience sun, sand, and sea. A lot of tourists come to this place because it is an ideal vacation spot, with its white sand beaches and accommodating resorts.

Just a while ago, me and my buddies were comparing different Panglao Island resorts such as Alona Palm Beach, Alona Kew, Lost Horizon, and Bohol Beach Club. All of them look great, but we have to choose one which will suit not only our preference but also our budget. We, then, chose Lost Horizon - main reason: because it's affordable for the five of us. The cottage costs 2000php but it is consumable. This is not our final choice, however. Anyway, it's still a month more before the trip, so we still have time to decide.


Other Activities To Do in Bohol

Aside from spending one day at Panglao Island, of course there are other activities that we don't want to miss in Bohol.

One is to visit Chocolate Hills.

And two is to meet the famous tarsier.


After doing these two, including the nature-tripping in Panglao Island Nature Resort, we can really say that we have a fun-filled Bohol experience.

So now, all we can do is wait. Today is just the 26th of January, so it would be 41 days more to go, since our Bohol adventure will start on the 8th of March. Hmmm..I don't think that would be too long.

For now, let me find that 2-piece which I'm going to wear in Panglao Island. Wehehehe! Can you imagine how I'd look? (giggle)

Hotel Reservations Made Easy

I mentioned yesterday in my tagged post that one of the things that I've always wanted to do is to travel to another country. That is right! I want to spend a nice vacation in other countries like Canada, United States, France, Italy, and Australia. I know, I can make this happen but only if I focus on achieving this dream.

I don't know if this is a coincidence, but just this morning, I got this task to make a review on this great site which deals on hotel reservations in various countries like the ones I mentioned above. This is definitely a good start for me, since I believe that any vacation plan entails lots of preparations which very much include hotel reservations.

I checked HotelReservations.com and learned that they offer great hotel deals and vacation packages in countries like Canada, UK, Germany, France, United states, Spain, Italy, and a lot more. Since Canada was the first on my list, I clicked on Canada and I was directed on this page where I can enter my target destination city, the room information, and the dates when I intend to stay. Afterwhich, I clicked on the search button, and there on the next page I found great hotel deals in Canada. Though the options were many, I know, I will not have a hard time choosing since the images, rates and descriptions of each hotel were clearly indicated. By simply comparing them, I can decide which one suits not only my preference but also my budget.

HotelReservations.com really makes the task of booking hotel reservations not only easier but also hassle-free since they are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Plus, they have other offerings like cars, flights, motels, resorts, condo rentals, and vacation rentals. And with their lower rates and great discounts, any would-be traveler's vacation will be easy on the budget.

I know, my dream vacation to any of those countries will not be soon. But with the information that I got from writing a review for HotelReservations.com, I'm more determined than ever to achieve this great dream.

My Mind Is Drifting in Italy

I had a good time last night with my bestfriends Krisma and Ate Rhey. We spent our time gossiping and laughing the night out over beer and cigar (Esse courtesy of Krisma from South Korea). We went home at around 3am, so now I have a hangover, on which I looked as if my energy was totally zapped out. My body is here inside the office, but my mind seems to be somewhere else - in a place where I could totally relax and have fun like Italy.

Venice, Naples, and Florence are just some of the great cities that I want to visit in Italy, that is if I already have the fund to do so. The said cities are popular travel destinations and each has something to offer to both locals and tourists like me.

Venice, for one, is a favorite destination for lovers who are looking for a romantic getaway. Naples, on the other hand, is a home to many historical places and is considered the major cultural center in Italy. Visiting this place will sure be a very educational experience. And if you want to see more of Italy, Florence is another place to be. This boasts a lot of tourist attractions including well-known museums.

But whether it is Venice, Naples, and Florence that I will be given a chance to visit, I should see to it that everything will be planned accordingly in order to make the experience truly memorable. And one important thing that I should carefully consider is the hotel reservation.

Good thing, the Internet has now provided a simpler and easier way to check on hotel reservations in Italy. By simply going online, I can already find helpful information on Hotel Naples, Hotel Venice, and Hotel Florence. This online service will sure help tourists like me to book reservations easier and faster.

So, there's nothing for me to worry when the time comes that I would be able to make that real trip to Italy. But for now, I'd just let my mind drift to this exciting place.

A Dream Travel to France

My pregnancy has been a long and tiring journey. A few moms may not agree with me, especially those who were supported by their partners and families all throughout, but for me, it was. The whole nine months of carrying my Baby Gaby, with me alone on my place, was indeed a struggle. So before my due date, I already set plans of taking a nice break after I gave birth - and there is no better way to do it than to travel.

But where? I have no specific place in mind until I saw this documentary featured in one of the local TV networks. It highlighted the beauty of France, especially Paris.

France is well known for its cuisine, wine, language, and of course its culture. It offers a lot of exciting destinations, whether you want to experience the metropolitan way of life or be closer with nature at the countryside. It is also a nice place to study because it is a home to more than 250 universities, including specialized schools and American universities.

But the reasons why one should travel to France do not end there. There are still a lot more. So, to convince myself further, I searched for more information about France. And voila, I found this site that could give me the information that I need! From destinations and cuisines to current events and language, this site is of big help for would-be travelers like me.

France is indeed a nice place to travel and to explore. I just hope my dream travel to France could become a reality one day. But for now, I'd settle on learning more about this place to unravel more of France secrets.
