A complete list, with contact information, for all known resorts on the Island Garden City of Samal.
One of the (many?) things that I find frustrating about the Philippines, and Samal Island in particular, is the lack of good detailed maps. I’ve always found maps to be a very useful tool. I much prefer them to getting directions, as I like to get a visual in my head.
While I’m working on coming up with some new articles and at the same time trying to get my life settled a bit, I suggest you check out a couple of recent articles from some friends of mine.
My time on the Samal Island has been limited. There is so much more I’d like (and need) to know about it, and I really want to spend more time there exploring. Not only the sights but the towns, to see what is and is not available.
I first started to get an idea of how truly special the coconut when I began using coconut oil for cooking. Previously I hadn’t cooked much but when circumstances changed and I had to fend on my own, I found I needed an oil that would stand up to high temperatures. Can’t even remember why now, but it’s not important. I did the research and coconut oil was at the top of oils. It was basically considered the cream of the crop of oils. The organic kind is sold in health food stores for a premium price. Not surprisingly, the Philippines produces over 50% of the world’s supply.
I’m of fan of Apple. In particular, the Mac or as it was initially called, the Macintosh. I bought my first Macintosh in October of 1984. That was the one piece 128k model, the original Mac. This was well before hard drives but the Macintosh was the first personal computer to take advantage of the smaller floppy disks that were so popular for many years. Ah, the changes over the years. Geez, I must have had over 20 some different models, possibly a lot more than that. As it sits now, my household has 4 different Apple computers (five if you count the G4 tower on my floor that has issues).
