Just the musing of a writer and traveler
A friend of mine was asking me the other day what is the most popular food on the road. He thought it might be the burger. See, in the states, you can get a hamburger wherever you are. No matter what restaurant you go to, you can find a burger on the menu. I don’t consider that a travel food.
I use international calling cards to call abroad often. One of the things I really enjoy doing when I travel abroad is meeting new people. I usually get their telephone number when I meet them. When I get back to the US, I usually try to touch base with the people I meet. People love getting international phone calls and I’ve found that prepaid international calling cards are one of the best ways to keep in touch. They are cheap and since they are prepaid, it’s easy to budget a phone call.
Are you making a long term trip to southern California? Were you displaced by the San Diego wildfires? Are you looking for something more in the way of temporary accommodation? I know I am when I travel on extended trips, I get tired of hotel rooms very quickly. Hotels rooms are good for sleeping, but not for living. That’s why I have started looking into temporary executive housing when I travel.
Moving is something I am very familiar with. In fact, as I have mentioned in previous posts, my family and I moved quite often. It was always fun. I have continued the tradition. Being a professional writer and traveler, I can have done my fair share of moves in the US and international moves. It’s always a delight as long as you get everything planned the right way in advance.
New York has one of the most dynamic real estate markets in the world. New York seemingly has it all when it comes to real estate. From apartments in midtown Manhattan to townhouses in Queens to beautiful North Fork real estate in the Hamptons. New York has it all. Whether you are looking at real estate in Manhattan or Montauk, you need to find a partner to help you find the right property.
If you might remember back a few years ago, Jasmine Trias, a Filipina American, was the runner up on American Idol. Haven’t heard much about her in the states since then. I don’t know what she’s done with it there, but one thing is certain, she has parlayed it into something in the Philippines. She has endorsement deals in the Philippines with various companies including Smart, the mobile phone company.
In the Philippines, there are many awesome places to dive and awesome places to learn all about Scuba Diving. One of the best I have come across is Asia Divers. Asia Divers has several locations in the Philippines to serve you with supplies, training and dive locations. Their PADI courses are some of the best in the world and their supply stores offers some of the best selection of scuba products in the Philippines.
