Visiting Karlovy Vary on A Sunny Day

Whoaa! I did it again to this lovely city!  Karlovy Vary  is always an interesting place for me to visit. Even though  it was already my  third visit in this famous spa  city, I  still wanted to come back.

Germans call this city “Karlsbad”. In English  Karlovy  Vary is called “Charles Bath”. It is named after King of Bohemia and Holy Roman Emperor Charles IV, who founded the city in 1370. This city is located in western Bohemia, Czech Republic, on the confluence of the rivers Ohře and Teplá, approximately 130 km (81 mi) west of Pragueor Praha.

Lanzarote On a Budget

Lanzarote is one of seven islands that make up the Spanish owned Canary Islands, which are located only 80 kilometres away from the coast of the African mainland. Flight times coming in from Europe are generally short, with four hours generally being the longest.

One of the best things about Lanzarote is the fact you can take a holiday here at any time thanks to its warm climate all year round; the island has about 340 days of sunshine on average a year. Another great thing about Lanzarote is the fact you can travel there on a budget and still have a great holiday.

Yay, I’m almost  turning another year  younger  soon!  Whose getting older anyway?  So as the saying goes, “only the buffalo gets older”. lolz!  I believed this time is quite a memorable  natal  day for me. It will be the first time I will be  spending my  my special day in a cruise trip.  It might  not be a luxury cruise like what I did last  spring time but at least I am happy that I will be visiting  some places that are in my bucketlist. I am  heading to Scandinavia  for the second time!

Enjoyed the Flamenco Show in El Albayzin

Have you been to the region of Andalusia in Spain? If you did, you are for sure very familiar about this famous folk music and dance in Andalusia called Flamenco. It was so far one of the most memorable holiday I did in 2011, visiting some cities in the region of Andalusia  including Seville, Granada and Cordoba. We also visited Madrid, Spain’s capital city and Toledo that time.

Another Trip is About To Begin!

There are a lot of things to take care of. The past days was quite stressful. Not really that bad but sometimes if you have to think of a huge internet company whom you expect to deliver good or excellent services, you cannot believe that they are not really like that?? Probably they are good… and I  was just not on perfect timing…An addendum, as of 07.02.13…I am glad,  they finally responded to the issue…Thanks  for the  support and help. Truly appreciate it!

Anyway, another month is here! I am welcoming July with all my heart! I want to get rid of stress so I am happy to announce that I will be travelling again soon. Two more sleeps and I will be able to visit three countries again for a period of 8 days.

Short Escape in Doha Qatar

It was one of my vacations in the Philippines and I boarded Qatar Airways. When I received the ticket confirmation last November 2009, I found that that I  have  a 6-hour  layover  in Doha International  Airport.  I was trying to think  what will I do during that long hours of waiting for my connecting flight to the Philippines.
