If you like to dive the Philippines is the place to retire to do it. Just search the many sites relating to diving in the Philippines and Philippine Dive Resorts. The water is clear and the water temperature is very comfortable and you are guaranteed to see things underwater that you will not see anywhere.

Alaminos City-Hundred Islands

The following is a video of the place in the Philippines where I go when I want to get away from the city or crowds. My wife and I are actually having a beach house built on land she inherited and it should be finished sometime this year. If you are looking for loud parties and lots of people this is not the place to go but if you want a place to lie on the beach or snorkel or sailboat it’s the perfect place. My thanks to the Alaminos City Planning & Development Office for making this video.

Malls of Manila

Many times people ask me why I would want to retire in the Philippines and I say one of the best reasons is the shopping. There are many malls close to where I live including Mall of Asia and The Mall at the Fort. I recently found a video on YouTube highlighting just about all the malls I’ve visited in Manila. Thanks to the person who recorded it and I hope you all enjoy it.

Cheaper Flights From U.S to Philippines?

admin — Fri, 31 Jul 2009 21:41:57 +0000

Since I travel so much from the U.S. and other destinations to the Philippines I keep a good eye on the prices of flights on the discount flight and hotel websites. While doing my daily scan I noticed a couple of low priced flights for the person who would be leaving for the Philippines soon. I’m talking within the next two weeks. First I found on CheapOair.com a flight from JFK airport in New York to Manila via Hong Kong coming in at $709 including taxes and fees. This is for a round trip airfare on Cathay Pacific, one of my favorite airlines to fly on. The service and everything on this airlines has always been top notch. This is a one stop flight with about an hour stopover in Hong Kong which would be about enough time to get a cup of coffee and head to the departing gate. Like I said I looked for the 14th of August with a return flight of 14 September. On the other side of the United States from LAX Los Angeles a flight on Asiana Air going through Seoul Korea on the same days would cost you $591. These are good prices and if you don’t live near Los Angeles or New York a flight there from just about anywhere in the U.S. should be $200 or less if you shop around. If you are planning to go to Manila I would advise you to keep your dates flexible and keep checking the sites for deals because getting to Manila and back for less than $1,000 is always good.

Some of the popular features of the Mall of Asia include the country’s first IMAX theatre and the Center Stage Theatre where musical events can be held. Besides all of the anchor stores found in any SM Supermall this mall has the Taste Asia food court and SM Hypermarket. Another feature of the Mall of Asia is the Philippine’s first Olympic sized ice skating rink which measures at 61 by 30 meters. The skating rink was the venue for Skate Asia 2007 which was the first time the Philippines had ever hosted an international ice skating even. The mall also has an outdoor Music Hall which directly faces the sea and is often the site for popular concerts and events. Check out a video of this beautiful mall below.
