Taxis For Hire

If you are a frequent traveler from airport to airport, it helps to get your mind at peace when you know there are licensed and insured transport groups that are available 24/7 at the airport.

If you are traveling to Orlando, FL, beware of some taxi companies that may charge you a 20% mandatory driver gratuity fee as a cover up for the attractive low estimate. Most of them also require you to prepay for reservations and charge you for any plan change. You see, those are all trip hassles and you may end up overspending rather than saving.

So, if you have plans of acquiring a transportation going to Orlando International Airport, just check MCO Airport Transportation and see how can they help you. This should be an ideal transport company to deal with if you are traveling with a large group and you need transportations from MCO Airport.

You can also find them available when you reach destination at Sanford International Airport. Good thing with Orlando Sanford Transportation is that you can have various options for your rides in going to your final destination such as your hotels, parks or resorts.
Availabilities of shuttles, buses, cabs or rentals are always there, so name your choice.

Of course, whatever the purpose of your trip would also depend on what kind of transportation you need. Shuttles are ideal for groups that are not in a hurry. But before considering one, just check if your hotel is within their routes.
Otherwise, you can either choose a bus or a cab if you have a particular or fixed itinerary or scheduled tours that you need to catch up.
Others would feel more convenient on renting a car as another option, particularly if you need a lot of driving in the area.

Late Visit at Cousin's Home

September 10, 2010 - Glendale, California

I haven't actually seen this cousin of mine since she was born, so it was kinda exciting seeing her for the first time!

And to think about it, now, she has 3 wonderful kids (all girls) and it was so overwhelming meeting the kids as well who were so much fun to be with!

It was such a nice feeling meeting them all for the first time, and a nice bonding that's worth sharing as well ;). I and hubby had great time spending our weekend vacation with them.

High Quality Patio Furnitures

High quality made products don't always mean expensive, and expensive products don't always mean high quality made. Take for example the case of patio furnitures where many customers sometimes would not rely on the product because it's cheap! Wrong!
Better yet check the adirondack chairs at Terra Bound Solutions online and see it for yourself. With that, you know what I'm talking about, right?
Considering the fact that adirondack chairs are popular as outdoor furnitures, many customers prefer having them. Well, how would you like to have a high quality made yet at a cheaper price chairs like that?!

If you have wider space for your outdoor needs, it would be nice to make some unique accents by also adding some picnic tables, too. This must be a good deal for those who need commercial picnic tables for their business as well.

It's also here where you can get to choose any commercial and residential park benches in various sizes, styles and materials, and yet with premium quality outdoor site furnishings. Check the items you might be needing. You can even get a lot of savings just in case you order them online.

Did You Know?

...that in New York, a cab can be difficult to find between the hours of 4:30 and 5:30AM and 4:30 and 5:30PM?
It's because those are the times when many drivers change shifts or go off duty. So, if you're a cab dependent or you don't drive, avoid looking for them during those times.

Weatherproofing the Place

Guest post written by Todd Felton

Towards the end of last week, it is really incredible how much snow we got. I looked out the window one morning and the neighborhood was a winter wonderland. While my kids got off for school, I wasn't so lucky and I had to go out in the inclement weather and go about business as usual. I am definitely glad that I purchased some new snow tires for my truck. They really gave me a peace of mind. Fortunately, my commutes to work have been just fine, despite the weather. I suppose I should come to expect these conditions now that I live in the north eastern U.S.

At the end of this upcoming work week, I am going to have to do a little more to weatherproof my house, as opposed to just my car. My wife's been telling me that the dining room windows are a little drafty. To be perfectly honest, I haven't been too enthusiastic about looking at the problem myself so I think I'm going to look at options at Homeproimprovement.com. I can't wait until it's time to prepare for spring or summer!

Visiting Family in California

September 10, 2010

Although this trip was more on a business purpose, we thought of seeing our family in LA in the weekend.
I haven't seen my uncle and his entire family for more than 30 years, the reason why I and my husband took the time to schedule the dates to see them.
Later in the afternoon, we were able to settle in at the hotel, where my uncle was patiently waiting for us at the lobby.

What a nice feeling for those tight hugs and seeing my uncle and introducing him to my husband :). The evidences are in these photos below, don't you think?

My uncle took us at Staple's Center to see the place. It was after 5 pm of Friday, so most of the buildings that time were already closed. We had no luck going inside the Staple's Center either due to our cameras and tripods which were not allowed to be carried inside.
We then proceeded to a dinner at Ichiban restaurant in Glendale, later joined by another uncle of mine and aunt which was more of a fun!

As our final itinerary for that day, we went for a night visit at my cousin's house. The kids were so much fun to be with...a good chance for us to bond together as a clan ;).
Whew! tiring day since we barely had no rest since we arrived from the airport.
But the weekend was something being looked forward to, hanging out and a mini-reunion with the entire family.

Ciao!

The Wizarding World of Harry Potter (Harry Pottery & The Forbidden Journey)

NOTE: Watch out! This is a super thrill ride! You also must leave your things including loose articles in the provided lockers inside (close to the entrance). Lockers are free.

If you have fear of heights, and sudden drops and twirling, this ride is not for you. You will be seated on a shaped chair, buckled up with metals for safety and watch out for those chairs that are constantly moving along! You have to be careful in going to your seats because they continue to move along and you have to catch an empty one.

After you've been seated and buckled up, you will then be making your way through a series of simulated classrooms and corridors of the Hogwarts, just like what you see in the movie...the typical classroom scenes. You will then be soaring up above the castle grounds, and you'll be suddenly high up in the air but all you can see is actually like a big screen that seems like you're there joining Harry Potter riding on that broomstick! LOL!

Expect a sudden drop anytime, then soar high up suddenly, a sudden twill and twist, and it goes on like that for several minutes.

You'll then end up going down the corridors as you watch the whole gang cheering up on you to a job well done!

Hurray! you've done it!

Reunited in Orlando!

July 16-19, 2010 -Trip to Orlando, Florida

It was still the peak of summer, an ideal time to meet a classmate-friend whom I haven't seen for 20 years!
So, we were reunited in Orlando, FL where she is currently based at. We met at Universal Studios on July 17, 2010. It was my request to go there and see Universal's "Islands of Adventure".
I and hubby frequent Universal Studios but the Islands of Adventure wasn't there yet so with this visit, I took the chance to suggest it, which was openly approved ;).

We did some rides, including "The Wizarding World of Harry Potter" - which was the only one I got curious with, - the main reason of why I wanted to be there.


It was funny, but the first attempt to go to the ride was like - I gave up, - and the lines were horribly long and super crowded! so we skipped it and went somewhere else instead.
But we went back later, and endured the 3 hours wait in line!

Hubby had to stay behind to watch our belongings because there were no available lockers to put our small items and purses, since these are not allowed to carry on the ride.

The ride lasted for about 10 minutes or so, and I decided, I won't do it again!!!!

I couldn't stand the constant twirling and turning around. Our day ended up with a sumptuos dinner at a Chinese restaurant, meeting my classmate's family for the first time! :)


The entire day was so tiring, but we all enjoyed it.

Thank God for meeting a long time friend after 20 years! I've discovered, we both didn't change...it was still like the same old us, except that our ages have gone up and we both got married! LOL!

Extending Hold on Your Reservations

Normally, most airlines don't want you to hold your flight reservation for longer than 24 hours which is the industry standard, as it ties up valuable tickets.

But there is more flexibility than you might think particularly if you're working with an agent over the phone rather than booking online, buying a ticket in an expensive first class, traveling during off-peak periods, or traveling out of the country.

Control Your Crowd

Crowd control products are the best items to get the crowd in order. They are great help in securing both your space and the crowd as well.

One way of doing it is through the use of stanchions which meet the great demands of the convention industry made of tough quality materials that can withstand tough uses.
Another type of a leader barrier ideal for making lines much more organized is by the use of velvet rope, as well as retractable belts.

For tougher security purposes, the use of barricades is a must, specifically for traffic control, privacy or security purposes. They are in the forms of traffic cones, drape walls, pipe, etc...

Be safe and secure!

The Best Seats On The Plane

Generally, the "pitch" which means the distance between rows of seats varies from plane to plane.
The pitch on domestic airlines ranges from 30-38 inches, averaging about 32. For 31 inches, a six feet tall passenger's knees would touch the seat infront of him; with 34 inches, he can put a book in his seat pocket without his knees touching it; with 36 inches, he can get up from a window seat going towards the aisle without disturbing the person next to him.

take note also that not all exit rows are spacious. When they're aligned one right after the other, the front exit-row will not recline.

Watching What I Want

This guest post from Edgardo Rosa

I live in a house of ten people. Between six kids, two in-laws, and my husband, I used to rarely ever get to watch anything that I wanted to watch. Even with directv in vermont in three rooms of the house, it was sometimes impossible to get one show in. Within five minutes someone would be complaining that they wanted to see this or that. I really got aggravated one night when I had to miss the Miss America pageant. I mean, this show only came on once a year and I could not even watch it. The very next day I went out and bought myself a device I had always wanted. I bought a DVR.

I have to say, for the price that I paid for that thing, it was worth every red cent. I would have paid double. now when everyone goes to sleep at night, I have the TV all to myself. I get to watch everything that I missed throughout the day. I just simply check the guide in the morning and set the thing to record whatever I want. Then the shows are ready when I want to watch them. It is just that simple. I finally have a way to get to watch what I want, whenever i want to watch it.
