Sink or Swim

Can’t think of anything more entertaining than these walking dolphins

My friends and I saw an online advertisement on cruise holidays last week and up to now, we can’t stop talking about it. I believe it was the tagline “Experience the world for less” that let us hope that maybe we’ll get a chance to join one of those tours to Italy. I checked their website (travelsphere.co.uk) to window shop for travel packages and here’s what I found:

We are after escorted tours by the way because we want to make the most out of the trip. Plus you appreciate places, paintings and what-not if you know the history behind them.

From wikipedia – Taal Volcano is a complex volcano on the island of Luzon in the Philippines. It is situated between the towns of Talisay and San Nicolas in Batangas. It consists of an island in Lake Taal, which is situated within a caldera formed by an earlier, very powerful eruption. It is located about 50 km (31 Miles) from the capital, Manila. It is one of the active volcanoes in the Philippines, all part of the Pacific ring of fire.

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.

One of the things that I’d like to do on my birthday is to have one or two full-fledge adult vacations. Either it’s just me and my husband or a two-day weekend getaway – girls only! In fact, my friend and I often visit the Superclubs Breezes resort website so we can plan our dream vacation, Sex in the City style. As for the exact date, that is the main question. I’m happy to note however that there are so many affordable Caribbean hotels that you can choose from the Breezes site. Of course, I’m checking availabilities a year from now so I guess the rates are really much cheaper.

I really wish I can do something like this soon. If not with my girlfriends, I could "settle" for a third honeymoon with my dear husband. Did I mention that it’s already an all inclusive Bahamas vacation package? All inclusive means everything is included in the package like transfers, meals and snacks, unlimited drinks (cocktails anyone?), premium liquor, wine and champagne, entertainment, land and water sports not mentioning taxes and gratuities. So you’re not only having the vacation of your dreams but you can bet it’s going to be non-stressful as well. Just pay one time and everything will be taken care of.
