Getting Great Travel Deals

Don't stop asking for breaks. Before you leave for your trip, search online for current car and hotel rates. If they're lower than what you have, call and ask for that rate.
When you're at the hotel/car place, tell the clerk if you're in a trip for a special occasion like anniversary or birthday, then ask if there's a chance for an upgrade.

If the hotel won't dole out upgrades, they would always be willing to offer up amenities like breakfast or valet parking. So, keep asking ;).

Be nice and kind and you'll never know what kindness can get you. Who knows, you can even get an upgrade for that.

Complain nicely, and at times you can get either an upgrade, a discount and a special rate! :).

Pet Supplies 4U

I think I can say thank goodness for pet supplies plus online shops. They are always "angels" when we are doing the "rat race" and can't hardly go to the actual pet store to shop for our pets due to tough daily routines. {sigh}
Pets deserve the best pampering, just like being part of our family. Pet supplies are not difficult to find, the fact that there are many pet stores available around in many places these days. But so far, pet stores online can still offer more convenience than driving to your actual pet store.

Hanging Out At The Gas Lamp Quarter

3-19-10

It was still cold when we were in San Diego, CA the entire week but didn't hinder us to go to the Gaslamp Quarter to hang out.
The place is quite cool as a hang out. You won't get bored if you love to shop, or looking for entertainment. I mean party club goers can definitely enjoy the place as there are many clubs that open during the night. I was there at broad daylight, so they were closed! ;)

I can say I would pretty much prefer going during day time since I am not fond of clubbing, but I like shopping! LOL!
It is also a place where you can eat. Lots of them around the place, so you won't be having any problems when you get hungry.

We tried the Old Spaghetti Factory at the 5th Avenue, and they have the best spaghetti ever in San Diego, I must say ;).

Ordering a meal here comes in complete package; - salad, bread, spaghetti entree' beverage and dessert, with a good price!
Watch out! Wear loose clothing when you eat here...you'll have the tendency to pop up, lol.

Oh, and of course a quick shopping in the area was never forgotten. I got some stuff I wanted once again ;).

As many would say, if it's "Made in the USA". it must be good! :)

Here also comes many colorful designs of message flags where you could choose your - "Mix N'Match" colors. You either have to choose your own custom message flags or if you're running out of time, you can choose from a lot of designs on their stocks.
These are all great deals that you don't want to miss, with cheaper prices and yet the products are made of top quality materials. That's the real deal!

Visit To The Queen Mary

March 13, 2011

While in Long Beach, we visited The Queen Mary ship and bought tour tickets for two, which was a self-guided audio tour. We wanted to tour where we could take our time and where we could explore the ship in our own pace with an audio guide.
Part of the tour that was included in our tickets was the "Ghost & Legends Tour" of the Queen Mary which is sort of an interactive show tour with special effects that highlights some of the ship's famous paranormal hotspots as we were guided into the ship's haunted past. The entire tour was an hour and a half. It was actually kind of fun for us because our tour guide would try to scare us at times while walking on the dark alleys, lol!

After the ghost tour, we had the audio tour to visit the entire ship. I found the audio tour a little bit boring later on because we had to do a lot of walking back and forth and the distances are quite far. We even had to use the escalator to go up, but the escalator happened to be not working, so we had to climb it like stairs and it seemed to me it was more than a hundred steps way up high! UGH!
Unfortunately, we didn't finished up that tour, and instead I had to tell my hubby we need to find a food shop because I was starving, lol!
But in fairness, the place has a lot of food shops, so it wasn't hard to find one ;).
There is also a hotel at the ship if you want to take your time in the ship.

I got some achy feet with all the walkings, but I could say it was still fun as an experience.

Our Catalina Island Experience

March 12, 2o11

We're now on the middle weekend of our 2-week trip in California and now settled here in Long Beach. Since it's the weekend, we planned of going to Catalina Island. It so happened that our hotel was just 5 minutes away from the Catalina Express Ferry Station.
We bought tickets for the 11AM schedule going to Avalon, and took a quick brunch at the ferry terminal canteen since we still had few minutes of waiting.

The ferry trip is one and a half hour before reaching Avalon. This is when you are boarding Catalina Express at downtown Catalina landing in Long Beach, CA.
Once you're in Avalon, you can already see the scenic view around the area. Awesome views!

There are lots of discovery tours that can be done in the island, so if you want to experience all of them, one day isn't enough. Hotels are also in the island, so when you want for a few more days of R & R, you can choose to check on the hotels and the packages before going there. I am not sure if they can accept walk-ins but the island is really busy and can be crowded during peak days.

We signed up for the "Skyline Drive Tour" where we had the bus tour with a narrated journey by the tour driver himself. We were taken into Catalina's protected wilderness area as we ascended ten miles where spectacular vistas, deep canyons, quiet coves, the blue ocean and the exciting part was seeing the island's largest inhabitants at a close range...the buffalos!

This tour lasts 2 hours and 15 minutes and has a bus stop at the Airport in the Sky. This is an old airport that is no longer operating, except that some private planes are still using it. It is here where you can shop at the small shopping store and they have a a food shop too. Restrooms are also available.

After we got back from the tour, we walked around a little bit and we toured some shops as well. There are lots of them in every street, including food shops and other business establishments.
How I wish we could have just spent few days there, but next time is always a good chance! ;).

Paper Mart Bags

Paper Mart online is worth visiting when it comes to various types of fancy bags you can ever imagine of. It is also the most complete packaging store and the largest on the web. So, choices seem like unlimited ;).

I love bags and I collect them too! My husband is a living witness to my collections, lol!
I can see at least more than 2,000 styles of plastic bags in here with various colors and designs. And, oh my God, I am overwhelmed and bookmarked it already. I would definitely be ordering some online for my upcoming Caribbean cruise trip this July. Yey! ;))
They look so fancy and attractive!

The paper bags are colorful as well, and it comes ideal for grocery shopping or just for putting some small stuff for outdoor hangouts that are easy grabs. The prices aren't bad at all, so no big deal on that ;).

I find all those organza bags very cute in their designs. I actually had one like those when I got married as souvenirs. I also use them to store my little pieces of jewelries particularly when I travel. They are actually very helpful and trendy looking too!
They have countless designs and colors. I saw the designs of the ribbon handle Organza bags with bows, and I think they look small but very elegant.

Paper Mart products are not only limited to bags. Check the other items, too.

Protective Storage Cabinets

We should be grateful enough that a company such as Durham came into business since 1922 which became one of the top leading producers of heavy duty material storages such as steel storage cabinets.

So, when somebody would think about shelves, organization of maintenance of products, packaging, workstations and any idea about storages, one would always think of Durham products which make them highly recommendable.

There are top quality products ideal for heavy duty material handling equipment that can serve as a good industrial storage, with full protection features built with sturdy construction.

Holiday Trip Tips

Every holiday, most people are getting ready to hit the road to spend time with their families. Be sure you are always totally prepared.

Check your car for any strange sounds, like paying close attention to the brakes (which can squeak) and the steering wheel (which can whine).

During Thanksgiving week, Monday or Tuesday are the best days to travel and can cut down on time spent in traffic. If you're stuck in traffic, preserve your clutch by putting the car in neutral and taking your foot off the clutch to keep it from slipping.

Get a tire gauge to check your tire pressures monthly, especially as temperature drops. If tire pressure is too high, your car can bounce on the road, and if too low, they could overheat which can both cause serious accidents.

Keep your gas full. If you drive with less than a quarter tank of gas, you could start collecting sediment at the bottom of the fuel tank, and even the smallest amount could clog or damage parts, so make sure you always fill up.

Managing Joint Pain & Allergies

One of the most disgusting feeling to have if you love to eat, is if you get food allergies to your favorite foods.
I always see many small kids affected by this. For some adults, they just have to rely on taking antihistamines, but until how long would that be? You don't want your body to get used to drugs your entire life, do you? Those pills are not actually treating the syndrome, but only relieving it.

Have you heard about Histame? This is a dietary supplement that can actually regulate histamine levels in the body by replenishing the body's digestive enzyme Diamine Oxidase. Check it out and take it from there.

On the other hand, arthritis and join pain can be unbearable if left untreated. Today, not only old people are having it but young people as well. There are a lot of drugs being used to treat this disease, but your tendency to swallow a lot of pills for arthritis pain relief would be lessened by taking nutritional supplements and eating healthy foods.

Have you heard about Naturally Vitamins online? Take some time to check some nutritional supplement products they have at an affordable costs. They are health food products that are safe and don't have side effects.

Stay Healthy While Traveling Abroad

Whether you're on vacation, planning to study abroad, conducting business, etc...international travel means it includes special health considerations, such as knowing the types of vaccinations you need, when to get them and knowing if you need the protection against malaria.
It's also good to undergo preventive health counseling, and having prescription medications and immunizations to reduce risk of illness while abroad.

Seek help from medical experts on where to get individual risk assessments based on your health, travel itineraries and anticipated activities.

Also try to schedule travel medicine consultations well in advance of your trip, at least 4-6 weeks in advance. It's because some vaccines must be given in a series over several days or even weeks.

Credit Card Processing

For many small business owners, it couldn't be denied that there are still many merchant services credit card processing providers out there who take advantage of them by slapping them with high minimum payments and hidden fees.
