Recently, my wife’s friend left her husband’s guitar for me to take care of. Since I am a musician and wish to collect guitars I immediately said yes. I didn’t know what kind of guitar they were lending so I was waiting in anticipation.

When I finally saw it I was in awe. It was an expensive bass guitar. The owner loved it so much that the guitar does not have one but two cases! I can understand why because I know how precious his collection is to him.

I’m sure the owner of a rare 1927 silver dollar would also feel the same way as we guitar collectors do. That’s why while he’s away I vow to take care of his precious musical equipment as if it were my own.

We experience a different kind of service with Dao Diamond Hotel. Since they support deaf students, they also employ qualified deaf personnel making the hotel elegantly quiet. At first it will feel awkward when you are trying to make sign language to ask for things but soon you will understand a little bit of their sign language and you will appreciate the professionalism and hospitality that they offer.

The hotel also looks real nice, with its laminate flooring, wonderful displays and Polynesian theme. Highly recommended in case you need a place to stay in Tagbilaran Bohol.

One of the best part of our trip is the tour of the many historical and tourist destinations found within the Island of Bohol. Our hotel hired for us a car with a driver that will take us around Bohol for P2500. The car was good and the driver was nice and explains to us a lot of things about the landmarks and the people that live in Bohol. The roads were quiet and empty which is a far cry from what were used at in cities. I just hope that there is an emergency road service available that will help people that will experience car problems. We visited the Blood Compact Statue, Baclayon Church, Chocolate Hills, Butterfly Garden, Tarsier Conservation Area and Loboc River Cruise.

Our youngest son seem to have a huge liking to music. His current favorite is Lincoln Brewster’s Today is the Day where in he can hum the song and sings it with eagerness. He appreciate music with videos but he loves music none the less. He enjoys a few other songs from various artists and seem to have a liking to guitar driven music – which is probably influenced by my taste. You can easily stream good music videos through Youtube, and you can also download a youtube video if you don’t have good internet connection so you can play the music video offline.

My wife has a crazy idea that we should just rent a car when we get to Bohol. She wants me to drive them around the island visiting all the important places. The thing is, I am not familiar with the roads and the important places that we want to visit are not clearly marked on maps. A gps tomtom might help, but being a province I doubt I’ll even get GPS response. So for now, I will have to say no, and just get a country side tour package.
