Shopping for air travel tends to be a hectic and confusing endeavour. When you’re planning a trip, the last thing you want to be spending the bulk of your trip’s budget on is the airline ticket.

Nobody wants to spend hours on the computer desperately hunting for discounted airline tickets. However, sometimes it’s good to periodically keep an eye out for some random discounted deals. There are a million posts out their offering advice on how to find the best deal on your flights but yet there are still so many people end up paying over the odds for their tickets. Here are some general tips for finding the best and cheapest times to fly. Book 4-6 Weeks In Advance Although airlines release random airline ticket deals throughout the day, it is a wise idea to try to book ticket 4-6 weeks in advan...

Few days before April ended, I have already thought about doing this - making a recap of what I did during the month that is just about to end.  Then the next thing I thought, which blog should I post the update?  My main blog or any of the travel blogs ? Then few days after May started, I began putting photos together through Fotolor dot com.  After finishing the collage, I still find myself lazy to begin the post. And now, May 8 in the evening, I hope I will have the strength to finish up the whole post. 1. April 3-7, 2013 . I attended the 60th Anniversary Homecoming in Mountain View College, my college Alma Mater. It was a few days of meeting old friends and making new ones. It was a fun time of reminiscing days gone by.  ^^&&^^ 2. April 17-18 . Together with the Marketing team of the hospital, we traveled to Mountain View College to promote our newest hospital services, the Stem Cell Therapy.  The group stayed overnight but me and Tata finished the Thursday night program,...

It was three in the morning when we left Iligan. Thank God for the traveling mercies that we arrived Camiguin on time for Breakfast . In this post, I would like to share a bit of why were went to Camiguin that day. We were all excited that waking up before three in the morning was not a hassle. Me personally was excited because it's been awhile since the last time I visited Camiguin. If I remember it right, it was in May 2006 during the Labor day holiday with a weekend following it. So I was all ready with my camera because I know that I would love the view going there. The lighthouse at Balinguan Port. Taken while up at the barge already. Camiguin Island as seen from Bainguan Port This is telling us that we are nearing the Island At last we arrived @ Benoni Port From the port we directly went to JJ Pen Fish Restaurant. While our fish for breakfast is being cooked, we saw this water snake. It looks venomous. I was so scared. It reminds me that indeed it is a year of the snake.  It ...

Our flight out of Manila was quarter before ten in the evening.  Me and my companions are very excited of the flight as it would be our first flight to the Northern part of the Philippines, much more to the famous Ilocandia region - Ilocos Norte and Ilocos Sur. So when we the plane landed, we are so excited to grab our bags at the overhead bin. When I deplaned, the thing I felt was the cold wind that splash my face. I said to myself, wow ang lamig ng Ilocos! :D When I saw this, I felt a rush of excitement because surely I will be able to see these windmills for real and up close. :) This is a part of the itinerary in Day 2 tour. The airport terminal is small. Almost like Cagayan de Oro City and currently it is undergoing some major renovation that they don't have baggage belt. I am sure in the next I will visit, meron na din sila. The baggage were just hand-carried by the airport ground personnel and we have to grab it from one corner. But the place is far from this point with the ...

Unfortunately, we were stranded in the island. Not that we missed the boat trip, but there was some mechanical problem on the barge that the management advised them not to travel.  We waited for an hour though to have the final word.  When the reality sank into our head, and after calling families that we cannot make it, we headed to town to buy some personal stuff.  Lucky are those who remembered to grab on an extra shirt and extra undies. lol! So we went back to the place where we had our breakfast .   Not just to have dinner but also to sleep.  Yes, at J & A Fishpen, they have aircon and non-airconditioned dormitories.  We took the non-aircon @ Php 1,000.00 for ten people. Sorry I forgot to take a shot of the room.  But it was really a cozy one with enough bathrooms, enough comfort rooms, and wash sinks outside the room.  The beds were sturdy built and strong enough to be in place even if someone as big as me will go up the second deck.  But I opted to stay down because it is me...

Last week, Friday, I went along with some of Administrative officers to check out an important property in Camiguin. To find out later, the exact location was in Sagay. We started from home at 3AM and after a land trip and a short time sailing from Balinguan to Benoni pier, we arrived Camiguin safely. We had breafast at J & A Fishpen Restaurant . @ the front of the restaurant It was here that the guy took the fishes for our orders. So it is like you point and they catch that for you and they cook it according to what you like. Before our orders arrived, we had the time to around the place and took some photos.  Here are some more of my clicked photos: We ordered fish tinola and grilled fish. A simple but satisfying Filipino breakfast. The warm soup really warmed our cold tummies. :)  After sometime, our ordered arrived! ++++ J & A Resort and Restaurant Taguines Lagoon Benoni, Camiguin A very accessible place to dine when you arrive Camiguin through Benoni Pier.
