Hong Kong Thanks Manny! Great recap and good to know you were able to enjoy places such as Central and Kowloon. We've already taken note of where we can save some cash (e.g. transit pass from the airport). We will also make sure to carve out time for dim sum haha. Thanks again- We leave next weekend!
happy birthday! (and nice pics) Hey Manny, glad you enjoyed your first trip to Hawaii. Thanks for everything, it was fun hanging out. Have a great birthday!

im sorry that your trip was soured by some dumb politicians actions. im neither for the opposition nor for the administration. they could all kill each other for all i care. what i do care about is the effect of such stupid and self serving acts. what trillanes did was really a behavior of a petulant boy who did not get what he wants so he pulls a stupid tantrum like this. not only did he manage to draw unwanted attention to the country, he also managed to make himself like a major ass.
the sad thing about the whole this is events like this is staple media news. somewhere, wherever, some jerk of a politician will cause controversy on a pretense of "doing it for the country" for his/her self-serving needs. too much politicking. thats the problem. and we wonder why the country got to where it is now...
hey congrats again on finishing the marathon! sounds like quite an ordeal. i don't know if i could ever do that, but it's worth considering since it's such a great accomplishment. maybe some day. keep me posted on your other races
Hello... What's up Marathoner?!!...a very nice entry for an amazing experience. I'm sure you're still flying high. Truly a great accomplishment and something you can always be proud of! Looks like it's on to the next challenge, playa!
nice pix hey manny, yeah riding atvs are fun. i tried them for the first time when I was in cabo san lucas a few years ago for a friend's bachelor party weekend. we headed out for most of the day and took the atvs out by the dunes and by the beach. it was a lot of fun and it was actually pretty easy to drive. i'd definitely do it again.
Barcelona suggestions Hi Margaret! I'm sure both countries would be wonderful to visit during the summer, though I've never been to Italy. To avoid being pickpocketed, don't carry a lot of cash and use your hotel room safe, if applicable, regardless of how trusting the staff appears to be. If you opt for Barcelona, try visiting the Ciuta Viella and Eixample areas for fresh, tasty tapas and cava. My friends had recommended such for my next visit. La Rambla is very popular with the tourists, but dining options are more expensive and less diverse; it does, however, offer Irish and English pubs as a comfort zone if you'd like to share your stories and adventures with other English-speaking visitors. Have fun with whatever you ultimately choose to do!
Any suggestions? Hi Manny (that's my Dad's name too),
I am a single female and I am trying to decide if I should travel to either Spain or Italy this summer. I am itchy to leave the US and get out for some adventure. I am big into food, wine, adventure. Do you have any suggestions regarding Barcelona? Have you been to Italy? Advice as to how not to get pick pocketed? I'm thinking you've come up w/ a new packing method by now.
Thanks!
Answer: Newark Airport Manny! You see - I pay attention and listen. Seriously, I'm glad to read that Seattle has made the grade as one of your favorite cities to visit. Also - very interesting and timely information about Daylight Savings.
Born and raised in the NYC area, I have lived in Switzerland since 2014. I caught the travel bug in 2001 and have enjoyed traveling for leisure since. While I will always love New York City, I don't miss it very much. Some of my favorite cities are Tokyo, Sydney, London, Lyon and San Diego.... full info
