Ace Water Spa
People around are always talking about Ace Water Spa. I got negative and positive feedback. I finally got the time to check the place out and here is what I got:
The place is a lot bigger than it looks. I thought at first that it was small and it …

Fontana Leisure Parks
My parents have been going to Fontana for the last couple of years because of the casino. I just tag along with them once in while but I feel as though this place is not really for me. I would enjoy the water park more if I was still …
Nike Str8 Dymo Driver
I am in the market for a new driver and was able to try out the Nike Str8 Dymo Driver (round head).
It really is a great driver. First, you are not buying one driver. In essence, you are buying 12 drivers. This driver comes with an adjustable head feature …
Carrom Players Air Hockey Table
We wanted to get something that would keep the older kids busy. Air Hockey is always a fun game on a rainy day so we decided that we would try to find an air hockey table that would work in our small house. We found one at Walmart. It …
Henry Vilas Zoo
Both of my children and myself are big time animal lovers. We also love a good outing. We especially enjoy combining our love for animals with our love for outings. We do this by taking a trip to a zoo. There are several zoos that we enjoy visiting. One …
Scotty Cameron Kombi Putter
This is the first time I’ve ever seen the Scotty Cameron Kombi putter.
Honestly, I had no idea that Scotty Cameron made mallet putters and trust me this is a huge mallet putter.
It really looks like they took the Star Trek Enterprise, stuck a grip and shaft on it, and …
Shimano Citica 200E reel
The citica was redesigned recently along with the curado and both reels are much lighter and easier to palm than their predecessors. They both were released for sale at the same time and I have had both for some time now. Both have certain qualities that make them special …
Manila Zoo
When I heard the news that the City of Manila is considering tearing down Manila Zoo to build a home for the PBA (Philippin Basketball Association), I was crushed. I admit that Manila Zoo is not state of the art, or even well kept at that. But it holds …
St.Anthony’s Annual Polish Festival
On June 3 and 4th I had the pleasure of attending St. Anthony’s Annual Polish Festival.
Hosted in the Church Hall of St. Anthony’s Church on Farrell Street in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia Canada, this festival offered something for everyone.
Despite the rain, (which went on all weekend) this fund-raising festival was …
Penrith Panthers Home of Entertainment
Penrith is the home of many things - whitewater rafting, the gateway to the glorious Blue Mountains, the Nepean River, all worth a visit at some point during a person’s lifetimes. If you’re looking for somewhere to just “go”, rather than something to see, or something to experience, then …
Avilon Zoo
My husband, along with our friends went to Avilon Zoo last August. When we went there it was raining really hard, but we decided to push through. We traveled for about two hours just to get there. Anyway, the road leading to the zoo …

Last weekend, I had a massage at the Bali Palace Spa which is one of the spas in the D. Tuazon area, which is popular for cheap but good massages. It was my third time having a massage at this spa. Compared to its neighbors, Bali Palace …
Shipwreck Island Water Park

Camayan Beach Resort
Just less then a 3 hour drive from Manila, Camayan Beach Resort in Subic is a good place to enjoy a quick beach fix for the Manilenos. Camayan Beach is located at the Subic Freeport just next to Ocean Adventure.
After our day tour at the Ocean Adventure, we …
Havana Club Rum Aged 7 Years
Havana Club Rums are, in my opinion, in a class of their own when it comes to rum. I usually drink them straight, because they are good enough to drink without a mixer, and I also do mix them in rum drinks at times, but they do not need …
Mission Ridge snowboarding spot Saskatchewan
If you are looking for a snowboarding spot in Saskatchewan I absolutely do not recommend visiting Mission Ridge. You are likely to randomly find better hill’s to snowboard on driving on the highway than you are at this location. Takes probably 6-9 minutes getting up the hill and 30 …
Variflex Quick Shade Weekender 81′ Canopy
I wanted a canopy for the backyard when we have picnics and things so that we could have some shade and a little protection if it began to rain. I found a canopy at Walmart for $129.00. That was a reasonable price for a canopy and so I bought …

Wacky Tacky in Roseville, Ca
If you are looking for a great place to take the kids for some quality fun time, I would highly recommend going to Wacky Tacky in Roseville, CA. Tucked away in a quiet business complex in the northwestern part of town, those who take the time to find this …
Oblivion
One of my favourite rides at Alton Towers is called Oblivion which is a vertical drop roller coaster. There have always been big queues for this ride whenever I have been to Alton Towers but the queue in my opinion is defiantly well worth the wait. The …
The King’s Arms Hotel, Lancaster
When you are going to a particular town or city, it certainly helps to have someone give you advance notice of a hotel that they have stayed in and their experiences of them. In this case, I had no prior notice and just had to stick a pin in …
Rita Queen of Speed Rollercoaster Alton Towers Staffordshire.
Rita Queen of Speed Rollercoaster Alton Towers Staffordshire.
Like many I am a fan of theme parks, and all the thrills that they can offer. Even though it’s probably one of the only fully fledged theme parks that I have ever been to. Alton Towers in Staffordshire is one of …
Thewi Thai Spa
There is a strip in D. Tuazon, Quezon City, with several good, professional, but affordable massage places which are well known to residents in the area and to avid spa-goers. These spa places are great finds and can be likened to good hole-in-the-wall restaurants. These spas are …

Luray Cavern and Shenandoah National Park
A couple of years ago, around this time of the year. I remember our wonderful trip to Luray Caverns and Shenandoah National Park. We live in Herndon,Virginia and we just drove 2 hours to see these marvelous scenic destinations.
It was a different experience to see what lies beneath. …
Great Wolf Lodge in Pocono Mountains PA
