This is our Philippines – PLT Wellness and Mountain Resort – Walk Around

PLT Wellness and Mountain resort was
a nice little place to spend the weekend. We did not have much time and we
wanted to try out a place close by. This worked out well for a short weekend
getaway.

Sammy and I took a walk down for the
little hotel area they had to the bottom of the hill. We saw swimming pools,
kubo huts and other things the resort had to offer. They even had a zipline at
one time I suppose, but it was not available for use this weekend. They also
had a bowling alley, but we missed that as well because of a huge thunderstorm that
came through. We just spent the evening in the hotel room.

There were basically 3 pools open
with the waterslides as well. The park really needs some attention done to it
to get it back up to a standard it might have once been. There was a lot of
construction on going, but the pools seemed to have been neglected a little.
There was still the slides that the kids did enjoy though.

This is our Philippines – PLT Wellness and Mountain Resort – The Arrival

“We want to go to a pool with water
slides”. That was the requirement for us to find a weekend getaway close enough
to the house we could enjoy for the weekend from the kids. We did a little
search online for resorts in our area and we found the PLT Wellness and
Mountain Resort. We saw in the pictures it met the requirement from the kids
that it at least have water slides.

PLT is a wellness and mountain
resort that has a blend of fun and nature. There are several pools and several
other activities that are included. We spent the majority of our time at the
pools and sliding on the water slides.

We also rented a kubo to use for our
meals. We cooked and prepared all our meals while we were there. They had your
typical charcoal grills and outdoor cleaning areas where you could wash your
plates and cooking utensils.

This is our Philippines – SPECIAL– Breakfast with King James

SPECIAL TODAY:

It is not very often in my line of
work that I get to go out and enjoy a meal in a restaurant. They are very far
and few to choose from besides your normal Pizza Hut or Subway. So when I do
get a chance, I thought I would share it with you as well.

On this particular day, I was at the
Kabul Area International Airport (Military Side) waiting on a ride back to my
normal location. The King James is a well-known restaurant to the contractors
and military personnel that come through here. You ask most people about this
place and they will mention the King James to you.

When you are a long way from your
favorite morning dinner, the King James will satisfy your longing for a good
home cooked breakfast. I talked myself into the steak and eggs after a short
debate. Although the steak was a little more than medium, it was alright. It
was not as tough as I thought it might be either. All in all, it was a decent
breakfast considering where we are at.

This is our Philippines – Lunch Time at Grandma's

Grandma invited us to lunch and that
is where we went! She loves to cook, and you can expect more than enough when
you arrive. She had chicken adobo, pakbet, fish, watermelon and of course there
was rice. Her little kubo outside makes for a great place to enjoy the
afternoon meal even if it is hot outside.

I am almost brought back to my
younger years in Alabama when we sit down to eat here in the Philippines. The
food maybe a little different, but in a way, it is the same. I remember sitting
at the big farm table with fried fish, fried chicken, okra and cornbread being
served. About the only thing missing would be the fresh sliced Big Boy tomatoes
and a large mason jar of sweet tea!

This is our Philippines – Tinikling – Filipino Traditional Dancing

Why is the dance called Tinikling?

Wondering how this type of dance got
its name? The Tinikling is said to be named after the long-legged bird called
the tikling in the Philippines.

This is the most popular and best
known of the Philippine dances and honored as the Philippine national dance.
The dance imitates the movement of the tikling birds as they walk between grass
stems, run over tree branches, or dodge bamboo traps set by rice farmers.
Dancers imitate the tikling bird's legendary grace and speed by skillfully
maneuvering between large bamboo poles. Tinikling means "bamboo
dance" in English.

The Tinikiling is considered a
national dance in the Philippines and almost every Filipino knows how to do it.
Since it’s a dramatic dance, it’s usually performed on special occasions like
traditional Filipino festivals or at school and theater performances. Some say
that this dance represents most Filipinos’ two main character traits: They’re
resilient and fun-loving.

Our video is of Sam and his
classmates, Chesley and Angelie learning the dance. It is not as easy as it
would seem. We even get special instructions and a demonstration by Grandma!
