A motorhome

DGH — Thu, 20 Oct 2011 18:18:32 +0000

My favorite online classifieds posted a Winnebago View rv for sale, that looks really nice but oh well, let’s just say the price is over a million kuronas too. Something we couldn’t afford. hehe Anyway, it’s definitely a nice vehicle for a large family who wants to go somewhere to camp or see places. It can sleep 6 persons, it has a kitchen, shower stall, LPG heat, hot water heater, refrigerator with large freezer, etc. etc. etc. It has a lot of specifications that would make your drive comfortable.

If you’re the carefree, adventurous type of persons, this would be an ideal home. I wouldn’t mind living in this as long as it will take me to many interesting places. You just have to make sure to get rv insurance such as 5th wheel insurance to keep yourself protected. The closest we can ever get to experiencing an rv would be to rent one. Hubby was actually of doing that for our future vacation. Mmmm…. I wonder when it will be!

planning family activities for spring and summer

DGH — Sun, 09 Jan 2011 17:28:10 +0000

I’m quite relieved that Winter season is already a month less. I’m excited about the coming of Spring and Summer coz our little baby would be able to enjoy the outdoor; walking or running in the grass, and playing in the playground. I can imagine our family having picnics almost every weekend.

I am also toying the idea of having a vacation to another country. Getting one of those Branson vacation packages sounds exciting. I am just not sure though if we can totally enjoy it with two small kids to take care. Trips with youngsters are always unpredictable and every worst possible scenario has to be expected. We’ll see. With hubby having miles to spend before it expires this April, a trip somewhere has to be planned definitely!

vacation with kids

I wonder at what age when we will enjoy taking vacation with the kids. At this age (girl is almost 3 y/o, boy is 6 months old), traveling is a big hassle, especially for me. As a mom, I am responsible for packing their things, seeing to it that they have everything they need… and the kids are understandably more attached to me than their dad. I have to deal with a clingy toddler, at least my sister has already shared the burden by taking care of my other child. But still, even one kid is already a BIG task!

I don’t even want to think about taking them to Disney vacations at this age. We just might end up dealing with their tantrums than having fun. Actually I am having more difficulty taking care of them when away from home coz their routines get affected, the change of environment and weather also affects their behavior and most especially, living in a house that is not child friendly is really a big inconvenience and being not organized eats up time.

travel gifts

Finally the eagle has landed! hehehe we’re finally home for 2 months vacation. 15 days has already passed since we arrived, our luggages are almost empty as the pasalubongs have been taken out and given to their respective recipients. I can’t afford to give Ulysse Nardin watches for pasalubongs, so we gave out the usual chocolates and shirts. Maybe when I’m mega rich, my family can expect luxury items as gifts.

Hubby is flying back to Prague in two weeks, I have to buy some Pinoy stuff for my friends and ask him to bring it back with him. I hope this time we won’t have excess baggage.

getting ready for a major trip

Packing up is a big challenge, deciding on what stuff to bring and to leave behind. Truly, our planned vacation has suddenly made me figure-conscious, what with clothes to be brought which is a must. And naturally, this brings me to the question of which blouse or jeans to bring that would fit me presently, not before when I still had a “cute” frame!

Many others who desire to lose weight easily read reviews of weight loss pills as there’s a wealth of information about this topic on the Internet. For instance, I’ve come across an online resource about diet pills, providing a guide and helping consumers who are on the lookout for pills that will work for them. Their website claims to base the information they give on two methods, consumer ratings and experts’ analysis.

Road Trip

DGH — Tue, 06 Jul 2010 19:23:10 +0000

Since summer kicked in, I’ve been seeing plenty of rvs in the road lately. The summer camps are fully-packed with rvs! I’m sure they’re having fun doing this. Most of them are doing it every year, and each time choosing a different place to go to. They must have done plenty of preparations before going in their trip; the stuff to bring, rv insurance needed, which roads to take… Whew! Good thing there’s GPS these days to make traveling easier.

I’d love to own a RV too. Someday, I wish I’ll be able to go on a road trip with my family and visit the many interesting places I still haven’t seen. But if we can’t own one, even a car would do. We’ve been to neighboring European cities just using our old Mazda car so not having a RV can’t stop us from traveling on the road.

trip preparations

It’s officially summer in Europe but unfortunately we won’t be here to enjoy it. We will soon be flying to Philippines and the its rainy season there. Isn’t it ironic? We’re leaving Europe just when the weather is perfect in exchange for wet and soggy days? I hope it won’t be raining all day there, and that there won’t be any strong typhoon hitting the country like last year.

I have started preparing the things we’re going to bring for our trip – unused clothes, gifts, the kids clothes, etc. I am thinking of buying my little girl a pair of rain boots which will be useful for the rainy vacation we’ll have. At least I don’t have to worry about her feet and shoes getting wet or dirty when she steps in puddles. Weee so many things to doooo and buy before we leave! But we still have enough time to prepare for everything. Rrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

weekend trip

Spring is in the air! It’s time to take out your outdoor furniture and relax in the sun, go for some walk around the neighborhood, grill some barbecue, or play with the kids. Well, you can add more outdoor activities to the list.

Last weekend, we toured our friend at Pruhonice Park for some sightseeing. Of course, we brought with us the kids and had a really grand time.

Here are some photos taken during our weekend trip:

Simply relaxing… isn’t it?

let’s go to Miami!

DGH — Mon, 14 Dec 2009 09:28:12 +0000

Isn’t it nice to take a leisurely walk along this river bank? That’s a picture of Miami Riverwalk. Being pregnant, walking is a great exercise for me. Though there are lots of picturesque places here in Prague for walking, our weather here has been getting colder which really isn’t nice to go out. The past few days the temperature has dipped down to negative. Brrrrr… Yesterday I wasn’t prepared for it – I was under-dressed, so I really felt cold.

That’s why an escape to Miami sounds great. Who wants to go with me to miami florida? Dreaming is for free anyway!

the downside of traveling with kids

DGH — Sun, 01 Nov 2009 22:09:26 +0000

Hubby was teasing me earlier today about taking vacation once the baby is out. I told him he has to go with us coz it won’t be easy for me to travel alone with an infant and an active toddler to handle. He said I can leave our eldest with him so I only have to worry about the baby. Heh! I wonder how we will be able to work and take care of her at the same time. I don’t think it’s even possible for him to bring our daughter with him at work.

Anyway, having kids would definitely affect our travels. Before having kids, travel was easy. We only have to spend for ourselves and take care of ourselves. This time we’ll have to spend more on airfares and we’ll have kids in tow. I bet we’ll be looking up for cheap travel insurance quotes and airfares if we should ever decide to all go home to the Philippines for a vacation.
