New Home

Contribution by Saul Martin:

My husband and I bought our first house today. We have been renting for years. We wanted to make sure we found the perfect house and the perfect lot before we bought our own. A couple months ago we found our future home. It is perfect. It has the white picket fence with a rose garden in the back. The kitchen is beautiful with tons of storage and the basement is the perfect place for my husband’s man cave. We had all the utilities turned on today and security choice is installing the alarm tomorrow. We cannot wait to move all our stuff in and call it home. I have been waiting for the day to come when we owned our own place. I just can’t believe it is finally here. My husband has already planned out what furniture will go where and what colors the walls will be painted. Sometimes I think he should have been an interior decorator. I thought I would be the most excited, but clearly it is him. It is wonderful to feel so great about such a large purchase. We really are lucky!

Garden Cafe at Deck 11 Aft

The main buffet of Norwegian Sky is the Garden Cafe Lido Buffet and Great Outdoors which is open at 5:30 AM for breakfast. It is also open for lunch and dinner and since Norwegian Sky offers a freestyle dining, you can eat whenever you want. You can eat in the Garden Cafe in a buffet dining or go to a fine dining at the Crossings or the Palace.My husband and I usually woke up early and have our coffee here while waiting for the ship to dock on an island. Some guests woke up early too to use the Jacuzzis and swim the pool at the mid section at Deck 11.

The Footwear

We had a blast with our 4-days Bahamas cruising. I was with my husband, his daughter and her boyfriend. So far, we enjoyed it and we are planning to do it again sometime. The vacation was so grand that all we did was eat whole day and enjoy the islands. The best attire that we bring on the cruise was swimsuits, shorts, tank tops, flip flops and slip on. We also have few formal wears for formal dinner attire.

Most of the footwear that we have during the cruise was flip flops and we paired it with shorts and tank tops. All the time, people love to stay on the deck at the poolside having sun bathing. When the ship docks on the mainland most of the guests went to the beach. It was gloomy so; I was really wearing long pants because it was windy and cold. One time, it was raining so hard but, I saw people swimming on the beach and snorkeling.

The weather was not a deterrent to our vacation. When we sail away, there were so many activities on the ship. Most of us were wearing swimsuits and again, flip flops and that was really comfortable attire on the ship.

Parking Garage

When we booked our cruising trip to Bahamas, we were looking for parking lot to park our car for 4 days. I was truly amazed because there are so many parking lots available nationwide but, they vary in prices and safety of the location. Well, if you are looking for parking lots, you should see to it that the location is not far from where you want to go. If you travel for a cruise ship, then find a location which is nearby the port. If you need to go to the airport, you need to look for a parking lot nearby the airport also. Make sure if they can transfer you to your destination also. Some parking lots offer free transport to the port or to the airport. It also depends how many is allowed for free transport. As for us, we have free transport for two persons.

In orlando airport parking, they have an affordable rates per day. The location is very safe so, there is nothing to worry about your car. If you are looking for parking lots anywhere in the US, just click the link and type your destination. It is very affordable and it is easy to book online. Check it out today.

At Disney's Magic Kingdom

Last week, hubby and I decided to purchase a Disney ticket which is good for one year. As a resident of Florida, we have a special pass and our price is a lot cheaper. We started using our ticket to Magic Kingdom and since we are not on a rush, we went after lunch. We went to the Haunted House and ride on the Ferry and when we are tired, we went home. We did not bother to wait for the fireworks.

When we were hungry, we went to a restaurant in the area of Liberty Square.
I just need something to munch so, french fries are okay for me. The servers here are dressed up in the old times.
Well, having this Disney pass is really great for us because we easily get bored at home. At least, we do not really travel that far to unwind. I think we will be using this ticket more often now.

Employees Overtime

Anything over 40 hours, a worker will be compensated according to the laws on overtime. I think this is true to most of the countries all over the world. The worker is not required to work overtime but, some companies have a mandatory requirement to all their employees to have the overtime. This is required by the management especially when the lack the manpower at certain time. Holidays and special events are mostly the time needed by a certain company such as hotels, casino and restaurants. This is also true in establishments such as rent-a-car and airports.

Well, when I was working as a teacher, we have no overtime paid because we are in the category of a salaried employee. We actually works 8 hours a day and when we are called to report even on weekends, we have to report because our weekends was also paid off. During summer vacation, even if we do not teach for 2 months, we are paid also. Unlike an hourly employee, they can work 8 hours a day plus, overtime. The overtime pay is much higher. Most of the time, the rate would be 1.5 plus higher. If you are an employee, make sure you know the law of overtime. Check out the link provided here.

Grills Seafood Deck and Tiki Bar

Our friend who works from Delta Airlines wanted to buy a property in Cocoa Beach for rental property and at the same time, use it as a vacation rest house. As for us, our quest is to find a house to live because we love the beach. After viewing some properties, we went to the Grills Seafood Deck and Tiki Bar.My friend ordered the Bacon Wrapped Scallops and it was the best bacon wrapped scallops that I ever tasted. Though it's expensive, the price will equal to the taste. $12.99 for three skewers.
Of course, we ordered another nibbler/appetizer because this is truly good, yum!Anyway, I always like calamare and the server did her part that this is the best calamare so; I tried it. Well, it is not the best because it was tough!Well, we enjoyed it anyhow except the calamare LOL. The server is great. The ambiance is awesome. I will definitely come back here.

Tour of Italy at Olive Garden

If you come for dinner at Olive Garden, the Tour of Italy is about $16.25 and it comes with lasagna, creamy fettuccine pasta in white sauce which I like, and the breaded chicken. My chicken was tough this time hehehe but, since I enjoyed my pasta, I am alright. I am not in the mood to complain on this particular night. Besides, I like this restaurant no matter what. I love my blueberry fresca as always. I won't order this menu again because it's a big portion. The food is great with that minor mishap, you can see the burnt chicken right? LOL.I just love the Olive garden. It is my favorite Italian Restaurant. As a matter of fact, I am drooling for pasta and their sampler Italiano this time. Oh so yummy! Good thing I have my own version of Sicilian scampi right now. It is a big shrimp sauteed with olive oil, garlic and tomato. Yummy Yum! It's my dinner tonight, want some?
