Birmingham, Manchester, Birmingham, Manchester…

Thursday, February 19th, 2009

I am in a little bit of a deadlock right now in choosing which UK Airport Hotels and which airport we should take for our trip to the United Kingdom on April. Here is the situation… we will visit my relatives in there for a short vacation but the problem is, one, which is my favorite uncle from the father side of the family, is living in Birmingham while the other, my grandmother and grandfather on my mother’s side of the family, is in Manchester. The reason why we are going to my uncle is because he will be celebrating his birthday and he wants us to be there, on the other hand, it is my grandparent’s 30th anniversary and they always have big celebrations every five years.

The problem is if we take the Manchester Airport Hotels, we could have some problems because it would mean that we will have to go back and forth between Manchester and Birmingham, and vice versa if we take any of the Birmingham Airport Hotels. The way I see it, there really isn’t much options to take and I guess the only way to solve this is by checking out the prices. Which tickets would be cheaper and which lodging is more economical.

Baby on Board

Sunday, February 15th, 2009

In traveling with children you should always be prepared with the things that they need. Like baby clothing and crib mattresses, because you will never know when you are going to need them. One time we went on vacation with the whole family. My aunt had a baby which is my cousin, they where riding with us because their car was full with the stuff that we brought. I was wondering why she was bringing a big bag that she made me carry around during the stop over. I asked her why she doesn’t want to leave the bag with the other bags in their car. She told me that she might need it anytime. So we went back on the road and I fell asleep because of the stress that traveling gives. After a few hours I heard my cousin crying, so I asked my aunt what was wrong, she said that we have to pull over for a minute because my cousin have to change his diaper, so I tried to txt my uncle because they had the things over they car, my aunt said that it was no need because she was bringing all that she needed.

Need Some Treatment For My Pops

Thursday, February 12th, 2009

I am looking for some information about ringworms because my father is suffering from it and I want to get some practical things that we could do for a treatment. As per Wikipedia, ringworm is a fungal infection of the skin in humans. Fungi are organisms that survive by eating plant or animal material. Those that cause parasitic infection (dermatophytes) feed on keratin, the material found in the outer layer of skin, hair, and nails. These fungi thrive best on skin that is moist, hot, and hidden from the light. It is estimated that up to twenty percent of the population is infected by ringworm or one of the other dermatophytoses at any given moment. I guess that made my father a statistic of this particular skin disease. In some sites, it was said that it can be treated topically with antifungal agents such as terbinafine 1% cream (Lamisil) applied twice daily until symptoms resolve (usually within two weeks). Terbinafine is not recommended for children under 2 years old or anyone with impaired hepatic function. Systemically with oral medications, especially for scalp ringworm or infection of the fingernails or toenails.

Then after this, I will look for some automatic watch winders and a humidor for cigars to buy as a gift for my auntie and uncle’s 25th anniversary of marriage.

Planning A Little Trip

Wednesday, February 11th, 2009

I wanted to see what things could I see in Asheville, North Carolina because my friend told me a lot about it and I think he made me want to go there and spend some alone time in there. He gave me some Asheville hotels list that he recommends that I could go to if ever I decide to go there. According to the information that I found, Asheville is a city in and the county seat of Buncombe County, North Carolina, United States. The population was 68,889 at the 2000 census. It is the largest city in western North Carolina, and continues to grow. As of 2006, the Census Bureau estimates that Asheville’s population is 72,789. Asheville is a part of the four county Asheville metropolitan statistical area, the population of which was estimated by the Census Bureau in 2006 to be 398,009.

He also gave me a list of nice Asheville restaurants that he said I could visit, and this includes the Tupelo Honey Café, the Cornerstone Restaurant, the Biltmore Estate, the Carmel’s restaurant & Bar, and the Olive Garden Italian Restaurant. I just can’t wait to be there and hopefully, everything goes well at work so I could file my vacation leave.
