On the fountain of youth

A fantasy of mine is to in effect find the fountain of youth, since I plan to live forever (in good health, of course). Nobody wants to die or grow old, and evading those fates has been the quest and dream of mankind since the beginning. Of course, I don't believe there's any one magic potion. I do believe that there is a combination of lifestyle with nutrition that can drastically slow down aging. Moderate exercise that keeps muscle tissue and strength, muscle flexibility, eating to maintain good hormone balance (The Zone Diet), plus lots of all the important vitamins, minerals, and phytonutrients.

On Condo Hotels

One thing I like when I go to The Philippines is staying in what they call "apartels," which are a less fancy version of what we know as Condo Hotels, where you get a small kitchen and dining area as well as simply a bedroom with a TV. You may also get a living room area which would most likely have the TV, though some smaller ones may have the TV in a bedroom. So if you're staying someplace for more than a few days, you can save money by buying groceries and cooking your meals instead of eating out in restaurants for every single meal.
