Philippine Tourism Visiting the Philippine Islands is a totally different experience these days, as opposed to the images imprinted on my mind from days long ago. Visiting the pearl of the orient was always a pleasure, one generally described as relaxing. Long days at the beach, the white sand between my toes being gently pulled away by the soft clear tide of the south pacific. We would lay on the beach for hours each day, the only...more

I just got back from a family vacation in Arizona. We loaded everyone up in our family van, clicked the remote key fob, and hit the freeway. It was great, and the first time my wife and children have seen the Grand Canyon. My wife was there when she was a kid, and for some reason, it was in the middle of the night, so she wasn't able to see...more
Now that spring is here, tour season is about to begin. I emailed the company that I usually run tours for to let them know that I'm available. The reply was quick in coming, that the season was slow due to the bad economy, but that they expected to have work for me from June through September. That fits right into my schedule, and so I am starting to mentally prepare for the jobs. All of my tourists are Japanese, and so I need to know the words for things like "sand stone," and "geyser." If I'm lucky, they will also provide me with a remote key replacement for our tour vehicles. I also have some ideas from past experience that will make my job a little easier.I recently visited the Grand Canyon with my family, and that National Park is one of the main points on most of my tours. We always have a problem with people making it back to the gathering point on time to move on to the next location. I was thinking that I could contact the park and find out how long it takes to return to the shuttle stop from each of the points along the way and use that to list the time that they need to be back on the shuttle in order to make it back on time. That alone would make my life so...more
