Photos of Taal Volcano [taken by my husband]
The volcano has erupted violently several times, causing loss of life in the populated areas surrounding the lake, the current death toll standing at around 5,000 - 6,000. Because of its proximity to populated areas and eruptive history, the volcano has been designated a Decade Volcano worthy of close study to prevent future natural disasters. It was thought to be named as “a volcano inside a volcano” because many believed that the lake that circles the volcano was once a crater or mouth of a volcano.
They are absolutely breathtaking. I’m ecstatic to have them printed and get some custom picture framing.
To celebrate my birthday, we’re off to Taal Vista hotel in Tagaytay this Friday. Thanks to cheap travel deals online, I got a low rate for a superior room, which usually costs $25 more. I’m pretty excited about this trip because it’s been a while since we went out of town. I’ve already listed several restaurants in Tagaytay where we’re planning to eat so expect more posts about them. I even told my husband to go on a diet this week because we’ll be eating tons over the weekend for sure. I do hope it will not rain, because I’m planning to go horseback riding with my daughter and visit the zoo.
Another place where I initially wanted to spend my birthday is The Farm at San Benito in Batangas. I’ve been hearing lots of great reviews about this place including how peaceful it is to stay there. When my husband read the site’s mission though, he suddenly had second thoughts.
Our mission is to promote wellness and a lifestyle that is geared towards proactive health practices.
To educate and disseminate information that will foster healthier lifestyles.
He pictured organic, green leafy foods, no steak whatsoever. Now we love greens as much as the next person but to eat nothing but leaves for two days is just too much for us. We want to be healthy, but not that healthy LOL. A friend told me too that even though the experience is rejuvenating, they felt like they can use a Big Mac meal. By the way, the site offers tons of health and wellness packages and medical packages like colon cleanser, kidney cleansing, liver cleansing and psycho-emotional therapy. I’m sure this is worth a try too, especially those who are serious in wanting to cleanse their bodies.
I was watching this TV show about destination weddings last night when I noticed that the chapel villa looked familiar. It was a while before they mentioned Tuscany villa rentals that I remembered seeing the same house from the movie Under the Tuscan Sun. When I saw that movie, I fell in love with Tuscany and hoped that I’d get a chance to visit it someday. And after seeing the place again from the TV show last night, Tuscany now definitely falls on my list of dream destinations. How romantic it is to get married in a place like that! I bet it’s pretty expensive too but if you can afford it, then why the heck not?
Looking for Las Vegas travel guides? You can’t go wrong with Shermanstravel.com. A friend recently had a five-night vacation in Vegas and he raved about this website. He got some cheap hotel and flight packages s he was able to squander his money on entertainment - gambling and clubbing. He couldn’t stop talking about his Cirque du Soleil experience, including a whole day of shopping and museum hopping. I was so green with envy listening to him relive that afternoon when he saw some of the great works by Picasso and Renoir. The photos that he took were amazing too and I will share them with you as soon as I got his permission.
