Weneedavacation!

I need a vacation badly! How many times have I stressed it out here? I already posted a poem here about stress. A friend of mine invited me again to go with her and her family for a vacation. I declined but now I'm reconsidering after I watched the video at Weneedavacation.com. What a nice way to invite family, friends and whoever one wants to invite for a really nice vacation at Cape Cod or Florida. I checked the Cape Cod vacation rentals and they are very inviting! It would be nice if family and friends can go together and rent those vacation rentals. At Weneedavacation.com, one can plan and share by using the Power Search feature, save favorite listings for future use, send email inquiries, rate listings, and share all these to family and friends. To aid in your planning, their is also a newsletter you can subscribe to.

Custom Tours of New York

I have always wanted to go to New York. Not to live there but just to visit a friend and her family and see and feel what it's like to be in that place. I almost had the chance last year but due to work commitments, I wasn't able to fulfill my plan. Instead I went to another place.

My dream vacation to the Big Apple is to be able to take a private tour and see everything that I should see to get the best experience. I saw online that Family in New York offers custom New York sightseeing and tours. They offer to take you and your family to a tour "off the beaten path". Sounds interesting, don't you think! I would love to see the "real" New York City!

Mexico Vacation

I love to travel! As you can see on the side bar of this blog, I listed some of the places I have been to. Each one of them brought back happy memories. Now, I have a list of places that I want to visit someday. Oh my, I just saw the place where my co-worker went to last month. She had a grand time. It was Casa Blanca Condominiums, I'm sure of it. It's one of the Rocky Point lodging and Mexico beach vacations that Sea Side Reservations have on their site. If you are planning for the ultimate Rocky Point Beach Vacation, try Sea Side Reservations online.

TheRoomService

Ever heard about the TheRoomService.com? A pioneering Russian capitalist s now re-defining room service, Mr. Konanykhin, the man in the photo, a famous American enterprenuer, announced that he will turn TheRoomService.com into an international brand. What does this mean to us women or people in general? We will now have the choice of getting our food of any cuisine from wide selection of restaurants and other stuff like groceries and wines ordered online and delivered right to our hotel room. Isn't that great?!

Student Travel

I never had the chance to travel to different countries when I was in high school or college. It would have been a different experience, no doubt about that. My mom was so overly protective. Even with a tour in nearby towns, she wouldn't approve. If I become a mom, I wouldn't do that to my child. I would let my child experience travelling to different cities and countries at an early age if I can afford it.

Anyhow, I've seen a lot of student tours. There was one time in Universal Studios. The students were speaking in a different language. How can the school organized such a big party travel? I heard a co-worker of mine talking about her daughter participating her school's student travel Europe program. One particular company that provides educational tours for students around the world is Hemisphere Travel. They provide international and US tour packages with the guaranty of meeting or beating other offers with the same tour packages. They even have a tour for Broadway! Nice!

Timeshare

When we went to Orlando weeks ago, we stayed at the Bonnet Creek Resort. I and my friends are very thankful to Gie for giving us the opportunity to stay there for 2 nights and 3 days through her timeshare ownership. It was very enjoyable vacation and one of the reasons why is because of the wonderful place we stayed at.

See picture attached. We were at the 8th floor of one of the condo complexes. She booked a two bedroom and two baths condo with a jacuzzi. It was like a home. We brought food supplies and a rice cooker to cook our favorite rice and meals. We didn't have to bring utensils, plates, glasses, pots and pans, toaster and other kitchen supplies because everything was all there. Aside from cooking, we had a karaoke session because the place has its own entertainment center, we washed and ironed clothes and we chatted and went online because there was available internet connection. Everything was so convenient and the place had swimming pools, gymn, internet center, mini golf and much more. There's no way to get bored there. If you are an owner, you get the quality services and amenities all free. It's so nice to have a timeshare, I just can't afford it. hehehe.. Anyways, I can dream, can't I?

Car hire worldwide

I'm so excited to go to Orlando this coming weekend. I haven't gone on vacation for months now which is already a long time for me and I feel like I'm burning out. Also, I haven't seen Universal Orlando so I'm sooooo excited! Sorry for my exaggeration. I'm just like a kid whenever I go to these kind of places. It's just going to be a two and a half hour drive from here so it's not so bad. I will be taking my car with us. I hope it's fit enough to go the distance. Let's hope for the best.

Actually, I'm already thinking of renting a car. Maybe it's better than using my own car. There is this cheap car hire that one can find online. They have contacts of car suppliers worldwide that can search for a rental car for you at the lowest price. I'm thinking that if ever you get stuck somewhere with a broken down car, as long as you have a laptop or access to the internet, you can actually contact them to provide you with a rental car. They even have Orlando in their list of locations served. And they offer a book now and pay later scheme. How cool is that! Now, I just need to find a laptop I can borrow from my friends. wink*

Want to visit Pinas!

I really miss the place back home especially the white sand beaches, clear blue waters and soothing sea breeze in beach resorts nearby our home. If I want to go to an island, I just hop on a bangka and for only a 20 minute ride I'm already there. It's kinda the same here in Florida but we do not have huge waves and sharks and the waters are most of the time calm there. Makes me think of purchasing a ticket right now and fly! Anyway, my favorite place in Davao city is Paradise Island and Isla Reta.
