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.

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.

The word “Traffic” is alive again in my social network. Most of my friends are probably stuck in the crazy December traffic. I’m not sure why but last year, I did feel the wrath of December traffic – it was crazy, main roads turn into slow moving car parks!

Malls are probably to blame because of the many great shopping deals and discounts they offer. They even offer deals that can match home depot coupons in terms of savings. However people do not save anything – its just an illusion. What happens is the customer will simply spend the “saved” money onto something else.

Thankfully I am now working at home and far from heavy traffic at the comfort of my own house.

This year – 2011, I’ve been going to a lot of places, and mostly out of town. I’ve been to Tagaytay, Laguna, Subic, Bulacan, Cavite and all the places in between. We attended a lot of parties and events, accepted a number of holiday invitations, and joined a growing number of reunions. And to think that the year is not even close to being over! I guess having a car gave us the ability to go out more often than before but at times I just want to lie down and do nothing! Still who can complain when you are swimming at a beach or a hot spring pool? I just wish we could just teleport to those places – because out of town driving is tiring.

When you and your family are on its way to a vacation, better make sure you already have a place to stay especially when you are leaving for quite some time. Traveling friends should not forget the accommodation as well to ensure an enjoyable and comfortable vacation.

Most of the time, people opt for booking into hotels when they are on their way for a vacation. This, however, cannot be practical for those who travel in big groups and want a longer stay. With this being said, you can just go on and rent a house. Besides being more practical, it’s also more relaxing. It’s like going to a vacation with your house. People who want to enjoy the marvels of beautiful beaches in Carolina. If you want to head there, find a realty that offers Outer Banks vacation rental. These houses are big enough to welcome you and your family and friends.
