Buying Your Own Island

By your own island does sound like a unique idea but before you run off and procured down payment down there are some things you might consider.

Purchasing your own island is similar to that of purchasing your own house after all it is really owned land.

You must have a price in mind that you want to pay for your piece of paradise of course the bigger your budget the better your island will be. It is actually better to pay a little more foreign island then look for a cut rate budget price is normally the cheaper the island no more problems it has.

Probably the most important thing to consider when buying your own island is location. You should look for in island that has some kind of population on it, a ready water supply, and one that would be sheltered from storms.

You also want to select an island with a good climate ideally one with tropical climates are preferred. You also want to check the accessibility of getting on the island this is very important.

This is part one of a two-part series on purchasing your own private island tomorrow we will discuss many more important factors.

The city of Manila the Philippines

When flying to the Philippines I have heard horror stories about the main airport in Manila. From my experience I found these to be untrue. From my touchdown in the Philippines through baggage and customs I think it took me 15 min. I found the people to be very friendly and helpful something you don't find in many airports in the United States.

If you are staying in Manila for a few days before traveling on through the many islands of the Philippines which are approximately 7001 there are some very good hotels especially near the American Embassy they could run approximately 40 or $50 a night. This is a good area is close to the nightlife and many restaurants.

From your hotel you might want to take a short taxi ride to the Mall of Asia I think this is rated as one of the largest malls Asia. This mall as a variety of stores including many found in the United States such as the Gap, Victoria's Secret and many more name brands. It is a very large mall that you can spend hours in with many small unique restaurants and shops. For a very pleasant traveling experience be sure to include the Mall of Asia in your travel plans when visiting Manila in the Philippines.
