If I were to go on a vacation somewhere in Asia Pacific…
Jun 23, 2009
…I would choose Auckland in New Zealand! Or maybe Sydney, Australia. Or Hong Kong perhaps? My mom and I have been considering a trip to Hong Kong though, especially since my big bro who’s working in China can meet us up and tour us around. I’ve also wanted to go to Disneyland Hongkong after seeing some pics from my friend and her family’s stay there. Aside from being a shopping paradise, Hongkong is also a great destination for cultural activities and festivals. Oh well, it’s me on a holiday dream mode again!

My bro-in-law in Prague recently purchased a ticket for Mom’s trip from Bacolod to Cagayan de Oro via Cebu. The trip itinerary is Bacolod-Cebu-Cagayan de Oro and Cagayan de Oro-Cebu-Bacolod going back. Since Mom’s trip was decided upon few days before the flight, we can’t find available flights via Cebu Pacific which usually has cheaper rates. Thus, it was Philippine Airlines then.
Traveling to the US, Canada and the UK and pursuing studies seems to be an attractive and practical option for Chinese students nowadays according to a China.org report. This is because of less strict requirements for admission. It has also become less expensive as foreign currencies have depreciated in comparison to their local currency, the Chinese Yuan. According to Shi Jingjing, Deputy Director of Canadian Education Center, with the devaluating foreign currencies, Chinese students would find it sensible to study abroad considering the savings they would get. It’s also an opportunity for subsequent work abroad especially when studying on a 
Traveling for business purposes is often a must for a business/man or woman. Thus small and medium traders, while they travel from one place to another to pursue business connections or to supervise the branches of their businesses, they carry with them a laptop or a notebook, to be able to work through the internet while attaining mobility. Also, businesses seek a basic web presence to be competitive and to try to improve their market share.
When it comes to searching the web, Google still rules. Microsoft is not content about this though, and now it has recently launched its search engine simply named “Bing” (

It’s the hurricane season again. From June until November, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration estimates that there will possibly be 9 to 14 named storms, and 4 to 7 hurricanes, with about 1 to 3 hurricanes reaching Category 3 status. While the Caribbean and some parts of Mexico are dream destinations for tropical vacations, these areas are at risk of hurricanes as well. Thus for travelers planning their vacation in hurricane-prone areas, they should buy their travel insurance now, as advised by travel insurance expert Chris Harvey, CEO of Squaremouth.com. He explained that they won’t be eligible for coverage after announcements about an upcoming storm is made public.
Tourists have a lot to explore in Manhattan Beach, California. Fun things to do such as surfing, biking, kayaking and other water sports, are just some of the outdoor recreation activities to be enjoyed making it as a known tourist destination. In addition, travelers have many options for a 
I always get email alerts from an airline company about discount roundtrip tickets or cheap flights to Europe and the curious me would eagerly read to see the rates they offer, after which I would sigh and go on a dream trip mode. Even if I’ve been to Europe twice already (first travel was courtesy of a company training and the second was last year with the family), I’m still wishing I could go back to Europe sometime. I still have not visited my dream destinations such as Spain, Greece or Rome in Italy. I remember we used to sketch some of the important buildings in Europe during our History of Architecture class. Thus visiting the landmarks we’ve studied for real would be a dream-come-true for me.
I love going to the beach and getting soaked for hours in the sea, but I hold back my excitement to eagerly head on to the blue waters when the sun is high. For me, the best time to bathe with less skin damage and sunburn is early morning and late afternoon, although the tide may not be that high. The allure of white sand, blue sky and clear waters can sometimes make beach lovers unmindful and forgetful about protecting their skin with sunscreens or sunblocks.
Mmmmm…!!! Something’s cooking at the parking lot!

Unless you have a heavily guarded residence and a trusted caretaker, one of the immediate concerns for those planning a family vacation is home security. “Who will take care of the house?” This would usually be my Dad’s ready reply when we bring up another vacation plan. Thankfully we have relatives and friends whom we can rely on to keep watch and sleep over at our house when we’re away.
“Huh, is this it?” My sis and I wondered if we passed by a different route. The skies were gloomy and about to rain as we arrived at the 
Most travel bugs are fond of sharing their ongoing or latest vacation whereabouts to their family and friends. Some would spend time checking out the local bookstore for postcards to send. Isn’t it truly heartwarming to receive postcards from abroad, seeing a nice photo about the place together with a short message from a loved one? 
I certainly hope not! That’s what I told techie bro when he raised the possibility of a 
The 2009 Formula One season has already kicked off last month with its first round at the Australian Grand Prix. This racing event is the 60th FIA Formula One World Championship season which consists of 17 rounds of races to be held in series in different countries. So far, Jenson Button from England has the most wins. With the upcoming Spanish Grand Prix (Gran Premio de España) to be held in Barcelona on May 10 and the Monaco Grand Prix (Grand Prix de Monaco) on May 24 at Monte Carlo, many car racing fanatics are looking forward to watching their favorite racing drivers on TV again.

I recently booked a ticket online for a domestic flight from Bacolod to Manila via budget airline Cebu Pacific and was amused to be presented with many additional flight options. Aside from the no-baggage option which lets you save Php200 off the normal fare if you only have handcarry baggage, there’s also an option for choosing your preferred seat (window, aisle, etc.). There’s also the prepaid excess baggage discount option or a donation to an environmental project. All these at an added cost, of course. An important option though is a travel insurance which covers personal accident, emergency medical treatment, recovery of travel expenses and travel inconvenience benefits. Thus, when buying your Cebu Pacific tickets online, make sure you know what options you’re selecting as they all add up to the total cost.
