Online Reservations

2010-11-15T08:45:00.002-08:00

Whatever your travel needs for the upcoming Holidays try to plan ahead. Nowadays we can book hotel rooms, rent a car and buy plane tickets online which make it a lot more convenient and not worry where to stay when you get to your destination unless you have relatives that picks you up in the airport and place to stay. After several trips I have learned that renting cars online is by far the best way to go specially on peak travel season. I do suggest try to reserve way advance. I have experienced last summer that I did not reserve the car after I booked my plane ticket because I thought it would be convenient to just do it right at the counter. That was a big mistake! It turned out I walked in to more than 5 rental car counters and all of them said fully booked. They only entertain people who have reserved online. I managed to rent a car at Alamo but it cost me $90.00 per day plus tax and other fees cost me almost $ 150.00 a day when I could have rented that for $27.00 - $ 50.00 per day and even cheaper if booked as package with plane ticket. The difference is I did not reserve online. I learned from it so now my next visit I made sure I book ahead of time. This December I will be back in Toronto again and I had a hard time finding a 8 passenger SUV on the dates I needed. I managed to find online but it is not a familiar company but I am desperate so I anyone knows someone in Toronto area that I could rent an SUV please buzz. Thanks

Visiting Toronto, Visiting Her

2010-09-08T10:56:00.005-07:00

I spent my weekend in Toronto with my Honey that's why I was not able to reply to messages recently. Stayed at Four Points Sheraton Hotel Lake Shore , great view and accommodation. I would really like to make an individual reviews of the hotels and restaurants we visited. Bottom line is we had a blast in Toronto, spend time together, dine together and visited our friend Yhen who took us to her cousin's birthday party. We met few people and visited for a short period. By the way thanks Yhen for the Tim Horton Coffee , sure was a treat and taste good specially that cold night.

There are lots of places we planned on going but with limited time we had, we just have to squeeze in whatever is on our top list with the amount of time we have First we planned on going to Centre Island, was gonna take the ferry , found a parking spot but it was too cold yet my Honey wearing tank top on and shorts, so we decided to go shopping for jacket first, went to Union Station and took the train and head towards Eaton Centre. Great sale on Aeropotale lol so finally we both got our "hoodies" then head back down and so we decided to take the PATH and went to see CN Tower up close. There we took our time but we actually forgot our time is running fast and hardly had time to to go Centre Island. ohh well we had a great downtown stroll that day.

Then the following day we drove to Niagara Falls which is about 1 and half considering traffic and try go karting. Yes! we had great time then decided to make reservation at the world-famous Revolving Dining Room overlooking Niagara Falls There we took lots of pictures , we just can't enough of the breath taking sight while dining. The restaurant actually revolve a full rotation in an hour, so we got to see the view around Skylon tower. The food taste great and the desserts are just to die for.it was yummy! I have to say , it was one of the best tasting vanilla cheesecake I had and she ordered Chocolate Amaretto Torte. The whole experience was memorable and very romantic ahihihi. after riding the mustang, time to ride go kart lol Rainbow Bridge connecting Canada and U.S.

GREAT CEBU CITY ACCOMMODATION , Cebu Gran Prix Econotel

2010-07-17T11:49:00.018-07:00

It's been a year now since I last visited Cebu City. Cebu is just my place to visit everytime I go to Pinas. I don't really go to real fancy hotels but I want a place that is clean, comfortable and location is a big thing. Last year we checked in at Cebu Grand Prix Econotel. I was very pleased with their service, the rooms are clean , free breakfast,all rooms have access to WIFI (good speed too) it is right across from Robinson's in Fuente Osmeña . Restaurants are just few steps away like Jolibee, Chowking and Robinson's "food court". Night life Cebu Grand Prix Econotel for bar hopping is just 100 steps away where Mango Square is the place to go for bar hopping and clubbing.
