Wishing for an Orlando Trip

One of the basic things to do before going on a travel is saving for the trip.  It does not necessarily mean that you will carry wads of cash or multiple credit cards to let you enjoy a trip, but at least you have enough money to pay for your hopping fare unless you go on foot through the duration of the trip.  You must at least have enough cash to let you grab a meal (real meal) at least once a day.  Because of this, my friends and I are  on tight budget.  We try to save up for a trip in the last quarter of this year. This summer, we are going to Siquijor Island and it is going to be a trip with the daughter.  I am not yet sure what kind of accommodation we are going to have but it would be some hotel.  I wish it will be some kind of like Orlando Hotels which offers a hot deals.  A friend gave me a positive review of Orlando Hotels so am also sharing it with friends in some parts of Europe and are planning a winter getaway for 2012 as early as now.  Good thing about Orlando holidays i...

New Eye-Candy at Midway White Beach Resort

Image
The last time I visited Midway Beach Resort was in June 2011 during our coloquium. We did not stay overnight. It was only a day-time affair and had our commitment service here in the campus. I then never thought I'd be back there so soon. Thanks to IBS for deciding to have the strat plan there or else I will never get the chance to see some new eye-candies in this resort. I bet some of the buildings were already there last year or even before but this time it was nicely renovated and painted. The main admin building.  On the second floor is a conference room.  The orange paint glows nicely against the blue sky.   They have dorm-type accommodations before.  This time, they still have but in a more comfortable room.  They have air-conditioned  rooms that can accommodate 8 people.  You don't have to bring beddings and even towels because they all have it prepared for its guests.  An LCD TV is also provided in each room. They also have a 3-storey wooden building that costs four tho...

LRT Adventures

LRT was my major transport today. The bus arrived LRT - EDSA station  from the airport quicker than I thought it would be. Thanks to a no-traffic morning.  The early flight from cdo made me realized that it is nice to travel first flight as we had a smooth flight and even had a smooth landing.  It was my first time in two years that I fly Cebu Pacific and the plane landed without doing many circles up in the air highway. I then took the LRT from EDSA then got off at Dorotheo Jose.  From there, I walked to LRT 2 Terminal.  Got my ticket from the vending machine and took the train from Recto and to get off at Pureza.  Before I reached the road, I already saw my friend, Stenette with her back on me but I was so sure it was her.  ^^ After breakfast, my first LRT adventure happened. FIRST ADVENTURE I took the train that went on the same route while going to Pureza.  I was like jumping off my seat when it V Mapa station was announced.  I denied myself that I heard the wrong station, and I co...
