Travel Mistakes to Avoid for a Fun Weekend Getaway in Astoria Plaza, Ortigas
If you are
going on a short trip and spending time in Astoria Plaza Hotel in Ortigas,Pasig City, Philippines, you have to pull all the right strings to make this
brief holiday as good as one on a long weekend. It is not impossible to have
all the fun you want at a limited time, just as long as you avoid these
common travel mistakes:
Skipping
pre-planning. Spontaneity has its place, but on a short trip,
pre-planning is essential. And no, mapping out where you are once you get there
does not count.
It may
take a bit of effort, but before leaving, make like a student and do your
homework. Study maps ahead of time, and look for the easiest and most
convenient ways to go from the hotel to the attractions and other key places
nearby. If you are flying in, it is worth checking out the physical location of
the airport in relation to the city center, too. Additionally, for foreign
travelers, grab cash from the ATM at the airport to save time later in
searching for a bank near the hotel.
Booking a
hotel too far from your business. Astoria Plaza
enjoys a good location in Ortigas that is near many attractions in the city,
such as SM Megamall, Robinsons Galleria, and Podium, St. Francis Square, Asian
Development Bank, and Greenhills Shopping Center. It would take a 7 km drive to
reach the Makati Central Business District and 15 km to both the domestic and
international airports. For a short trip, picking the right hotel is a must.
Don't go for a cheaper one that is far from your business. At the end of it,
you save more time, effort, and even money, by going for a hotel with a central
location.
Trying to
do too much. Figure out your goals for the trip ahead of time and
schedule activities accordingly. Because of the limited time, you cannot really
hope to see it all. Be realistic and think about what you can do and where you
can go at a leisurely pace. It does not mean you are selling yourself short;
just that you are prioritizing the activities or destinations that matter most
to you. Besides, the last thing you want is to come back from a vacation so
exhausted you need another vacation.

3 Activities to Kick-Start Your Leisurely Holiday in Cartagena, Colombia
Still deciding on what to do after you've checked in at your hotel in Cartagena, Colombia? With these activities on your holiday checklist, you'll be sure to make the most of your stay in this Caribbean city.
1. See attractions
With its port, fortresses, and group of monuments declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Cartagena has a lot of historically relevant and visually appealing destinations to offer first-time visitors. South America's most extensive military fortifications were built in the city between the 16th and 18th century. Religious sites, such as the church and convent of San Pedro Claver, church of Santo Domingo, and what was once the monastery of San Diego give wonderfully preserved samples of architecture from the colonial period. You can also visit the former Palace of Inquisition, which is now being used as a historical and archeological museum and Palace of the Government, and Plaza de las Coches, an open area where slave auctions were previously held.
2. Hit the beach
Bocagrande can't claim to have the best beach in the city but an afternoon spent here will give one enough insight as to why it deserves to be called the Copacabana of Cartagena. The beach is a busy place during high season and weekends mainly because of the influx of people on their way to luxury hotels and entertainment establishments in the area, such as Hotel Almirante Cartagena. Aside from people-watching and dancing to electronic music in the clubs, this beach is also a perfect spot for indulging in a soothing massage and witnessing a spectacular sunset. If you find Bocagrande a little too crowded, you can try the beaches of Bocachica, La Boquilla, Islas del Rosario, Isla Baru, Tierrabomba, and Playa Blanca.
3. Sample the local cuisine
Cartagena's confluence of cultures can be best experienced by tasting the its cuisine. Start your day with a hearty breakfast of arepa, a dish made of ground corn flour and topped with cheese, sour cream, hot sauce, or guacamole. The best varieties of this tasty treat can be bought near Calle del Pozo, Getsemani, and Exito Supermarket. For lunch, you can head to Cartagena en la Olla where you can eat your fill of traditional dishes. You can cap an exciting day by taking a trip to Plaza de la Santisima Trinidad and sampling the street food sold there around midnight. Should you wish for familiar tastes during your stay at an accommodation in Cartagena, Colombia, you'll be happy to know that there is no shortage of restaurants that specialize in international dishes in the city.
