We are all excited for our Bukidnon trip in December. The kids are talking about it day and night. This trip will not only lead to the beach, lakes and rivers but there will be a lot of hiking, mountain climbing and most probably camping in the mountainous Province of Bukidnon. To start with, I have to armed with kids with appropriate hiking gear. I specifically looking for the lowa renegade boots.

This would surely fit my hubby, I wonder if there are similar outdoor shoes for kids. I still have some seldom used rubber shoes so that would do the job.

In as much as we enjoyed our holiday in Singapore, our accommodation is just a “so-so” hotel. Hotel 81 Star is one of the member of Hotel 81 chain of hotels. It’s located in the red light district but considerably moderate atmosphere compared to other red light district areas I’ve known. Don’t get me wrong. Hey, that’s Singapore remember.

Anyway, going back to our hotel room, we were provided a queen mattress bed, 1 bottled water replenished every day, coffee sets and some toiletries. Oh wait, there was also an old tv sets with very limited tv channels. Don’t expect something fancy, after all, the hotel is priced reasonably so expect the same amenities. I spoke to one chamber maid and ask about how they wash the towels and sheets, she said that they wash these using whirlpool refrigerators. This is one thing though that I admire of this hotel, is that they kept it clean and cool.
