Lexington, Ky

Being raised in Eastern Kentucky, Lexington was the nearest large city. We seldom went there, as a matter of fact, I don't really remember ever going there as a kid with our family.

As I got older, I would drive through Lexington on a regular basis to go back "down home". As the years went by, I did get to visit Lexington a couple of times, but only to go to a couple of games and a concert.

This is why I was so surprised when I read about all Lexington has to offer.

I hope if you are ever passing through, that you will take the time to see some of the great sites of Lexington, Ky. And if you are fortunate enough to take a vacation there, I am sure you are going to enjoy this special city!

Lexington, Kentucky

I was simply amazed at all of the free things there are to see and do in Lexington, Ky. I have been through that city so many times, and visited there a few. But haven't done anything on this list.

To add a few things, if you go in April or October, you can see the horses training early in the morning at Keeneland. And they have a few great festivals that you could plan your trip around.

Gettysburg, PA

Gettysburg, Pennsylvania...the place where more men died in the Civil War than any other. The largest and bloodiest battle of North America, ever. The place where Abraham Lincoln gave his famous Gettysburg Address. And also the site where the only civilian was killed as a victim of the Civil War.

This is a city that everyone should visit at least once in their lifetime. And for those who don't live too far away, or who might have relatives nearby, it can be one of the least expensive vacations that you will ever take.

York, Pennsylvania

I just did an article on York, Pennsylvania. I think I would like to visit York County. It is the "Factory Tour Capital of the World". Gettysburg is also in that county. I will do an article on that town next, and post the link here.

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.
