Summer Vacation Plans

posted by Leave a Comment

Have you heard of Orchid Island Golf and Beach Club? I learned about it recently while doing a Google search for tourist spots in the east coast. We are planning to travel again this year and I’m looking for places we could pass by during our planned coast-to-coast drive.

When I did my online search, among the results was a picture of a beach that reminded me of Boracay Island in Aklan, Philippines. It turned out that albeit the lack of white sand, the beaches at the Orchid Island Golf and Beach Club was just as appealing as the Boracay beach. This golf and beach club is located just north of Vero Beach, a beautiful coastal town in Florida.

According to the City of Vero Beach website, the hurricane season runs from June 1 to November 30. If ever our plan to travel to the east coast in Spring or Summer pushes through, I hope the weather will permit us to visit this scenic place.

Aside from the City of Vero Beach in Florida, we also plan to visit New York, Washington DC, New Jersey and Miami. We will also visit a few friends in Georgia and my hubby’s aunt in Indianapolis.

Can you suggest other places and popular tourist spots that we can visit this year?

Saving With CFL

posted by Leave a Comment

As a mother who is responsible for family’s budgeting, I am always in search for ways to maximize my savings and save bucks for monthly bills such as water, electric and communication expenses.

Speaking of electric bills, I had learned that there are various ways to save on one’s electric bills. The first and major way is to conserve electric like turning off appliances when not in use. Another way is to upgrade to energy-efficient lights and appliances.

An example of energy-efficient bulbs is compact fluorescent lamp or CFL. By switching from the old and traditional light bulbs to CFL, you can save both from cutting electricity cost and from reducing your replacement costs for bulbs. Compact fluorescent lamps last longer than incandescent ones so you do not need to buy light bulbs now and then. In addition to that, CFL also use only one-third of the energy required by standard light bulbs so that equates to big savings in your home’s electrical consumption.

Aside from these factors, compact fluorescent lamps come in variety of styles, sizes and wattage for maximum control and energy efficiency. You can always find a great style that will fit your home’s design.

Make the switch and stop squirming every time to flip that switch! By saying goodbye to old bulbs and saying hello to CFL, you will not only save but you could help the environment as well. Why? Because saving energy reduces pollution as well.

Boone and Davis: No Recovery, No Fees

posted by Leave a Comment

Have you heard of Boone and Davis? It is a law firm based in Florida with over thirty years of experience in handling all types of personal injury claims, examples of which are

  • medical malpractice
  • car, truck or motorcycle accidents
  • slip and fall accidents
  • defective product accidents
  • theme park accidents
  • traumatic brain injury

.

My cousin, Hannah, wishes to join this firm in the future. She worked as a clerk in another law firm while attending law school but had heard a lot of good things about the Boone and Davis. I hope she passes the Florida Bar exam (which she’ll take in July 30 and 31 this year) so that she can fulfill her dreams.

I had learned that Boone and Davis provides a “no risk” type of service to its clients. Unlike other law firms where you need to pay for them to represent you, at Boone and Davis you will not pay any attorney fees nor expenses if you don’t recover. They will just write off their expenses instead of charging you.

I think that they are the solution for people who wanted to get justice but can’t afford to pay for big-time lawyers to represent them. If you or someone you know are looking for this kind of lawyers to represent you, then now you have an idea of where to go, right?
