The Monarch of the Seas is Royal Caribbean's oldest and smallest ship currently in it's fleet. This was our first time sailing on her but we have been on her sister ship the Sovereign of the Seas twice before. The ships are very similar in layout and design. The Monarch was once the biggest and most advanced ship of her time but even though she is now the oldest, she is still holdi...

This Halloween season, my husband and I decided to take a tour of a relatively famous pumpkin farm in our own backyard. We drove to Helvetia, Oregon that is right outside of Hillsboro, Oregon, and Hillsboro is near Portland.  OK, now you get the idea on the location.  Helvetia happens to be the home of the Roloff Farm.  If the name sounds familiar, it's because the family is ...

My husband and I love to go to flea markets. We live in Pa. and had heard alot about this flea market in Roger's Ohio. This flea market is located at 45625 St RT 154 Rogers, OH 44455. We frequent the normal local flea markets in our area but we have never been to one like this. This is awesome!!! This is the biggest flea market we have ever been to. It takes us about an hour to ge...

I was on board this Straits of Malacca Cruise last year and the words to describe it is...superb, wonderful, luxurious and unbelieving.Pros: Accomodation is wonderful with ample space and air conditioning, television and beds of course. For entertainment, there is ample choices like swimming on deck, gyms, sauna, jog, library,dance, watching movies, karaoke, even golf and of course the cas...

For a great place to stay and have outdoor fun in southern Ohio, Happy Trails would be a wonderful choice.  You can save a few bucks and have a great time.On my most recent hike to Ohio I discovered this stable/ campground/ resort. I’ve listed it under campgrounds, because I think people associate the word “resort” with places that are less rustic, but this is much more t...

If you ever need to rent a car it will be worth your while to check out National Car Rentals "Emerald Club".  Our family has not used any other car rental agency for more than 5 years.   There is absolutely no charge to belong.  As an Emerald Club Member I completely bypass the car rental counters, go directly to the Emeral Club aisles at the airport...

As anyone who drives in Boston knows, traffic is a nightmare. If you are headed for Logan Airport, you are usually stressed due to the amount of traffic and possible delays. For those with these issues, Logan Express is for you.Having lived outside of Boston for several years, I had made the trip back and forth to Logan many times. I refused to drive it myself, having my husband do it instead. ...

Before we discover Splash Island Resort, our family and my wife's sisters families go for an annual summer get together at 8 Waves Waterpark & Hotel. It is situated in San Rafael, Bulacan and could take us around one and a half hour trip. The entrance fees are only 60% of Splash Island Resort but you need to pay for the cottage of your choice. There are several types of cottages, open a...

I stayed at the Kaluakoi Villas Hotel on the island of Molokai.  This is a very secluded hotel located directly on the beach.  Our room was large and had a partial kitchen with stove and refrigerator and coffee maker. The staff were very friendly at check in. They even told us to make a dinner reservation before we went to our room.  The earlier you get the reserva...

My husband and I recently returned from a week long trip to the Dominican Republic. I did a lot of research of resorts all over the caribean before finding Excellence, Punta Cana. Overall the trip was very nice, but there were a few things we didn't like. Excellence, Punta Cana is an all-inclusive, adults only resort. I read a lot of reviews online and found http://www.tripadvisor.com/ to b...

So it is far, but the beauty of nature awaiting from this island is remarkable. From Cebu City, one needs to ride a bus or v-hire towards Hagnaya for around three hours more or less.  From there ride the express ferry boat or a fast craft.  But if you have your own car, you can take this along with you via riding a RO-RO boat. When you arrive at the port ther will be a lot of locals w...

On our last vacation we rented an economy car from a neighboring business to us, U-Save Car and Truck Rental. The service was impecable and we had a huge selection to chose from. The vehicle's were very clean, all we had to do was load our luggage into the trunk and go. You can chose their insurance or carry your own personal insurance. The rates beat everyone else here in town. They do hav...

Yesterday, I really got rewarded; I was taken for a massage. I haven't gotten a massage in at least a year and a half. I used to get them more often for muscle pain and fatigue, but it got expensive and honestly, I didn't feel like it provided any long-term or even intermediate relief. Basically, it only felt good in the moment.Since this was a gift to me, I was totally game. I wanted t...

This was my first ever Cruise, 7 days Eastern Caribbean on the Carnival Glory "Fun Ship" out of Port Canaveral stopping at Nassau, St Thomas, and St Marteen. Boarding the ship was easy as we had VIP status so we were able to walk past the hundreds queing in the hot sun and get personal service to board the ship before most of the others. We had a "level 11" Suite with big ba...

My husband and I have been fans of the Kansas City Royals for 35 years. We've attended countless games at their beautiful stadium, but had seen just the public areas of the facility. During a recent trip to KC, we decided to take a tour of the stadium. To be honest, we almost didn't do it because of the cost. We were quite surprised when we saw the prices, since we had toured Fenwa...

On 30th June 2007, I flew from Manchester to Dubai to Kuala Lumpur on Emirates Airline, economy class. This is the first time I fly with Emirates and I am very impressed with what Emirates has offered me throughout that long flight. Booking online for the e-ticket is a breeze and the website is very user friendly. The entertainment throughtout the flight is superb with games and even multi...

I recently stumbled upon a travel package that saved me a ton of time and money too. It was for our trip to Pigeon Forge, Tennessee to visit the amusement park Dollywood.We live about 4 hours from Pigeon Forge so we were driving there but still need to find a place to stay and get tickets to the park. Pigeon Forge and the Gatlinburg area have hundreds of hotels. I knew finding one was going to ...

Expensive, but worth it! $25 per person (not including tax) gets you into the exhibit and a free cup of hot chocolate.  I was a little miffed at the pricing but the experience was amazing! They keep the exhibit at 9 degrees so dress warm even though they give you a full length hooded winter parka. We were fortunate to bring hats and gloves and were really thankful! Imagine an indoor ice sc...

What's the big treat for my kids after doing well at school year round? Well, nothing comes in my mind other than swimming. Summer is just in time where my kids finish a school year and as a treat for the hard work it's been our annual getaway to get wet. Splash Island Resort in Laguna (under new management) has a world class facilities to cater local and foreign visitors. There are big...
