Staycation: A Cost Effective Alternative To Family Vacations

Family vacations can be costly events. When you get finished factoring in the cost of travel, the hotel stay, and food, there's barely any money left for entertainment. This is why it may be a good idea to create a more cost effective alternative to the traditional family vacation. A staycation takes a lot of bite out of the budget by eliminating the travel and gas cost. This, in turn, creates more money for the fun parts of the vacation and saves you a ton of time and money. Staycations let you get to the fun right away.

You Won't Waste Money on Gas or Travel

One of the obvious benefits of opting to stay in town for a vacation is all the money that you save on gas and travel. This can range from hundreds to even thousands of dollars depending on where you are going. Gas isn't getting any cheaper and neither are airline tickets. The time and money that you save on travel can create an opportunity to book a more exclusive hotel or go to that nice restaurant across town. This alone is a saves a lot of money. There's no need to worry about unknown areas. Since you're staying in town, you probably won't need that wallet gun holster either.

Dreaming for a Disneyland Vacay

I don't care if people may say that I'm just too ambitious if I'll wish for this kind of vacation in life. Anyway, dreaming of something like this is totally free! But who knows in God's own time He will allow us to travel such with my whole family and that would be great! A blessing indeed that is yet to come....

Speaking of a Disney Land, my kids would really love to meet their favorite characters they saw on TVs, movies for real. Well, this would also includes looking for great deals on hotels orlandovacation as early as now so as to know the budget ahead of time. :)

Weeee....this would be a time to bond with my loved-ones in a soon to be a dream come true vacay! #dreaming mode

After nine months of conceiving our 2nd baby, now is the time for me to enjoy and be with my whole family. Oh by the way, this was my son's first time to be with us during vacation at 18 days old. I think the fun is still going on....we still have to go on another adventure next week. wooottttt...........

Happy Trip Josh!

Today marks my son's 1st long land trip travel. At 18 days old, we will be traveling from Cagayan de Oro to Misamis Occidental for a short vacation before my elder sister will be back to Dubai few days from now.

In a while, we will be leaving...Happy trip baby Joshua and the whole family!

Family Vacay (Day 1)

Last November 2009, I was able to grab Cebu Pacific's piso seat sale. Guess what? I was able to book my whole family of six for only Php 600.00 (Cagayan de Oro-Manila- back to CDO). It was indeed an opportunity for us to go on bonding with my family. The schedule was from September 25-28, 2010.

A week ago, we were able to realize the promo ticket that I booked. We spent our 1st day at Mall of Asia (MOA) then afterward to Manila Ocean Park. Below are some photos taken...

my daughter's first plane ride





Indeed, it was a day full of fun!

I will be out for 3 nights and 4 days for a family trip.
I will be missing my blogLand as well as my social networking sites..

God Bless our trip and see you guys on Wednesday!

Plans for Summer Vacation

The heat is on! Yeah, summer is getting nearer and for sure we are all so excited to have our summer vacation. Last night, mom and I were talking about our last year’s summer vacation that we had in a beautiful Island of your imagination. Now, we are planning to go to another place that we have not yet visited. Maybe we will be spending 3 days for that place and in that case, we don’t need to use travel trailers anymore. All we have to do now is to save more in order for us to explore the beauty of their place when we go there.

Oopss wait….since we would be definitely spending it on a beautiful white sand beaches, then I will make an effort of losing some pounds in order for me to wear those sexy summer dresses in my closet. I need to feel and look good for this vacation galore. Oh my I’m so excited since it will be 3 months from now. Another day of spending quality time with my loved-ones- is the moment that everyone longs for especially for working parents like us. Hope we will truly enjoy and we’ll have some fun together!

This is it! As I have mentioned in my post below we were really planning to have a sort of a dream vacation as a family. God-willing, if given a chance then why not go for an Asia Pacific tour right? Well, if I have to choose then it will be Hong Kong Disneyland since I have a two year old daughter who really loves to watch Disney Princesses. Oh I forgot, me too love Disney so much. Lolz!
