Visit Pittsburgh

I had no idea that Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania had so much to offer. I recently read that it has been voted one of the most livable cities twice. The only U.S. city to earn this recognition, and most recently in 2007.

Not only a great place to live, but Pittsburgh seems to be a very inexpensive place to travel.

If you get a chance check it out! I'm definitely putting it on my list of places to see and visit!

How I Visited the Philippines on $200

I had never dreamed of visiting the Philippines, and as far as that goes, if you would have asked me to name different places in the world that I wanted to visit, it probably would have never been on the list.

So how is it, you wonder, that I ended up spending 18 days in this "Third World Country"? It was through a business associate and friend who needed help with his business.

He offered to pay for my flight plus free room and board if I would come to the Philippines and give the job a whirl.

The city was Angeles City, the township Balibago. The business, The Donald Paul Apartelle.

During my trial run, we opened a nice ladies boutique, a cantina, set up some outdoor lights and put flags on the building exterior from 45 different countries.

All in all, it was definitely an interesting experience, but I think Angeles City is more of a town for single men.

Wow, Savannah, GA

I just did a bit of reading about Savannah Georgia. This town has so much to offer. There are a number of monuments, statues and squares of memorials throughout the town, more than 50! That's a lot for one city. Plus Savannah has the largest historic area of in city in the whole United States. Amazing. Savannah, GA, a place I must visit.

Six Flags - Great America Coupon

Hello everyone! I've been unexpectedly out of town for a while. Sorry I haven't posted.

I do have a great surprise for you today, though. I have found a coupon for Six Flags Great America in Gurnee, IL just outside of Chicago.

Here's the COUPON . They change it from time to time. Before the Forth of July, it was a buy one get one free adult admission. Now it appears to be a $15.00 off coupon. Either way, that's still some great savings.

I hope some of you get a chance to use it. Have fun this summer.

And remember No matter where your travels might be, I hope there lots of fun...and mostly free!
