A motorist will always have the risk of having a road trouble. Be it a flat tire or a troubled engine. I am currently on the look out of a good roadside assistance club. I have heard about Wheelers Club from years back. But I’m not sure anymore how good they are recently. What I have is EA Philippines. But I have not tested them yet. So I cannot give a good recommendation about them yet.

We first heard about AirPhil Express’s promo fare of P88 from friends over at Plurk and we just thought we needed to check that one out. Last night, the husband fell in line for 4 hours just to end up leaving without being able to book but was given a priority number that the AirPhil Express people will accommodate first the next day. We went to back to Megatrade Hall today and had to line up again for another 4 hours. It would not have been that long if they accommodated us first, which was only but fair. The thing is they divided the counter in such a way that half of the booking agents were serving us (who were supposedly under the priority line) and another half for those who just came in today. The thing about here is, the people who came in “just today” were being booked ahead of us and we (priority line) are slowly losing all the good travel dates. It was totally defeating the purpose why they gave us the priority number last night to begin with.

It was not until my second appeal to the lady in the organizers’s booth that the supervisor-in-charge of Air Phil Express nudged. While we appreciated that, it really just did not make sense why we had to stand in line for so many hours. It was okay if the situation was rational, which is definitely not. At first the security was defending AirPhil Express that they are not serving newcomers. But we are not blind not to see those E-Tickets being served and the payments from the transactions coming from the “newcomers”. That was the time that I went right back to the organizers’s booth and told her that it is just not fair, appealed again and then the issue got resolved.

Despite this hassle, I will have to commend their staff who are courteous despite the crazy lines and hundreds of people who are flocking their booth. I’d say, they really are built for the sales career they are in. We were not able to have lunch until 4 in the afternoon and I saw them just having a burger beside each of their workstations, stealing a bite every so often. While no person, a company, for this matter, is perfect, I just hope that even as we are pleased about this current promotion that AirPhil Express is making available for the people, they make sure that they don’t commit the same mistake the next time they hold an event of this nature.

This is one of the Mendoza travel bags that has the spotlights on. The statement is distinct and it’s almost impossible to miss it when it rolls out through the conveyor belt. If you could at all afford it, it is always worth it to invest in these kinds of travel bags and briefcases for one’s own convenience.

It is totally different if you are land traveling with family. If you are, do not forget rv repair kit and other emergency tools your family might need on the road.

Reviewing hotels in a foreign land is not exactly the easiest. You encounter different sounding names like isla mujeres hotels and there is no way but to jot it down, else you forget. Then there’s the proximity issues. Proximity to the place you plan to go around and visit, etc. So please if you happen to know of a good hotel that is close to the city proper of KL, please leave us a link and will check it out. Thanks in advance!

The hubby and I will try out another hotel this week as we celebrate our 8th anniversary. Our busy schedule can only accommodate a local hotel destination, although it would neat if we could book a reservation in destin hotel sometime in the future.

Reviewing hotels can be fun, really. You get to help people choose their next hotel destination by sharing your very own experience and thus improve the quality of service hotels and establishments offer their customers.
