Bohol City

Lovers waiting for boarding...


Having fun with the Ronquillo's at their beach house.


I consider this place as one of the most welcoming restaurant in Bohol.

Nice pose Jan.

The floating resto in Loboc River.

One of the things you can see in Bohol. The big eyed Tarsiers.

Don't forget to bring a hat , requires a lot of walking when you're a tourist in Sagbayan Peak.

Having fun under the heat of the sun.

Making faces :)

Baguio City

August 2007 when I left Sicily. My friend Pauline was also getting ready for her trip to Qatar to join her husband who is working for an Italian Oil Company. We sent few emails for the last months we were away. In January 2008, I received her short note telling me she was in Baguio City and she gave me her home phone number. I phoned her and in our conversation, she said that they're Dad died last December 2007. So Michael and I decided to make a trip to Baguio City to see our Filipina/Sicilian friend and of course the beautiful city of Baguio. Michael had never been to Baguio.
It was nice to see Pauline and Isabella again. Isabella was so excited to see us too.

Pauline, Thank you so much for the tour, Sicilian Lunch at Camp John Hay and dinner at your place. It was really great!

Thanks to my brother Nimrod who drove us all the way up and back.

Welcome to Baguio City- the country's summer capital.

The Puyallup Fair

This is the first event we went to after our arrival in Seattle in 2008. My sister Theomie and cousin Evelyn were excited to bring us to "The Puyallup Fair" . It is rank as the top ten largest fairs in the United states.

Like my hat?

The biggest pumpkin in the show.

Pumpkins in different color and shapes.

Natural Bridge Virginia

On our way to visit Michael's relatives in Staunton VA, we had the chance to see Natural Bridge. It is one of the oldest tourist destinations in the United States. The Natural Bridge of Virginia is located in Rockbridge County.

The Bridge has been included in several "Seven Natural Wonders of the World" lists, mostly in the 19th and early 20th centuries. It has been designated a National Historic Landmark, a Virginia Historic Landmark, and is listed in the National Register of historic Places.

Natural Bridge and Niagara Falls were the two wonders of the new world that Europeans visited during the 18th & 19th centuries. Of the two sights, Natural Bridge, without clear explanation of its formation, was the more mysterious.

Seats available for the Drama of Creation Show.

Busch Garden Africa

One of the best attractions in Florida is found in Tampa Bay - The Busch Garden Africa. Beautiful flower gardens, wild animal attractions, exciting shows, and for your adrenaline adventure take all their major park rides, it will truly spin your world. The Safari ride was really fun!

The Anheuser Busch family has created magnificent theme parks, Sea World (San Diego, San Antonio, Orlando) and Busch Gardens (Williamsburg and Tampa Bay). They own the Budweiser beer also known as Bud.

I love the musical show here. A quartet of master story tellers from across Africa gathered for a sort of competition and the tales they tell are brought magically to life. Everything is just so wonderful, the customs, music, singing, lighting, puppets, choreography and special effects come together beautifully to create an artistic vision.

Kumba is one of the best roller coasters in the world. Blood curling thrill of an initial 135 foot drop, you will plunge from 110 feet into a diving loop, three seconds of absolutely weightlessness while spiraling 360 degrees, and tear through one of the world's largest vertical loops. It really spun my world!

HELP! I'm stuck in here!

Sea World Adventure

After a week stay in Tampa, we drove to Orlando to adventure Sea World- Orlando's top attraction. It was a beautiful day in Orlando, we got right on time as they open the gate, easy parking and the size crowd is reasonable. We were happy too, that they give honor to all service members. Free admission to all service members and dependents.

Sea World is the world's largest marine adventure park, wonderfully entertaining and educational park.

Seattle

Last January 2007, My parents, Michael and I went to Seattle to attend my sister's wedding. It was so nice to go around the "Emerald City". Seattle is full of history, it is one of the Northwest’s most beautiful historic place.

At Alkai Beach

Just a few steps of the market is the first "Starbucks" store.

Jannete and Mike

Morning at Pike Market, the oldest continually operating farmers market in the United States, it is a place where farmers, craftspeople, and artists display their goods. It is a free-form funhouse of sights, smells, sounds, and characters. Salmon fly through the air, and vegetable and flower displays are turned into works of art.
