Travel Mezze - February 2010

All of us travel to different places. Every few days, weeks, months or years in our lives, we need to travel. There are many reasons why we have to. Some maybe because of job requirements, others are due to family obligations and gatherings while to some, in order to enjoy that most awaited vacation. We always have to bear in mind that safety measures should always be observed. I remember last year when a couple from New Zealand asked my help to contact the Consul of their country assigned in our city. Their bags were opened and most of their important documents and all their money were stolen. The wife was even crying when they approached me. I tried to contact where the Consul was but nobody was answering in his office as it was night already. We needed to contact the embassy office which was in a nearby country but they couldn't as they lost everything, their money, passport/visa, important documents, they lost them all. Good thing that they left their clothes at the hotel and that they were booked till 2 days from that day. It was really a nightmare for them. I ended up calling the embassy using the call card I bought.


TSA locks


When on a vacation or if we need to travel abroad, we need the necessary locks for our luggage or big bags. It is important that TSA locks are used as we are sure of the quality of these locks and the safety of our luggage. Some of these locks maybe a bit more expensive than the regular locks that we can buy, however, we should not suffer quality and the safety of our important things with just a few dollars of savings. It is always important to be a step ahead.


There are times also that we don't want the total weight of our luggage to exceed what is allowed by the airline. We have to make sure that we are not carrying things that weigh too much and we end up paying for more money than how much we have budgeted for that trip. In this case, we can always buy luggage scales that we can use whereever we are. There are portable and cheaper ones that we can buy online or at our nearest stores. It is always important to have a checklist so we won't forget these important details. It should be an enjoyable and unforgetable vacation or a successful business trip, not a disastrous experience.

The Mayon Volcano: A Perfect Cone

February 24th 2010 11:07
The Mayon Volcano is famous around the world because of it's perfect cone. It is one of the wonders of the new world and is a famous destination of many mountain climbers. Tourists around the world just can't miss the beauty and magnificence it brings once they themselves are able to witness it first hand.

Just last month, the Filipino people was on the alert for the possible explosion of this volcano. Magma and other volcanic stones and ashes emitted from the volcano for days. This has alerted the local officials to evacuate the nearby settlers to evacuation areas. However, for many people, this has been a great opportunity to witness themselves the active volcano. For them, this is a one in a lifetime magnificent experience. Many foreigners rushed to the Philippines just for that.

So, did the volcano erupt or is this volcano about to erupt soon? The volcanology department of the country has opened the possibility of it erupting in a few weeks or even days. However, lately it seems it had slowed down its volcanic activity.

I remember last year when one of my musician friends went to Michigan to participate in a Summer Music Camp in one of the famous music schools there. It was a great opportunity as he was accepted for a scholarship for the summer. His tuition fee was all free except for miscellaneous fees. He is an exceptional musician though. We did communicate once in a while and among our favorite topics were the great places to visit in Michigan. He enjoyed telling me about them and I enjoyed it as if I was there.

He said that family vacations in Michigan are good ways to improve the bonding of the family. He loved seeing families enjoy together their favorite activities, see in person their favorite Henry Ford Museum, and enjoy the beautiful and impressive scenery at the Hidden lake Gardens. The Renaissance Festival is truly a wonderful experience to witness also. As a musician himself, he specially loved this as he saw musicians playing his favorite pieces. Other entertainers were belly dancers, comedians and sword fighters. What adds to the excitement of the celebration are the Renaissance costumes worn by the participants. You would truly feel you are in this kind of era. A vacation Michigan experience is truly extraordinary. You can also enjoy a tour at Frankenmuth of the Cass River on the 70-ton paddle wheel boat.

Michigan has so much to offer. Why don’t you include it in your next vacation itinerary and witness the many great opportunities this state has to offer?

Nature has beauty by itself. We can see all around us, nature at its best. Wherever we go, we are truly blessed to witness all these beauty that nature has to offer. One of these most beautiful places is the Niagara Falls.

For those who have been to this place, the experience is truly magnificent and enchanting. The sound of the waters flowing, the inviting charisma of the falls, and the true joy that we experience every time we see it is truly extraordinary
