Air Force City Park, Pampanga

It was a last minute decision when my childhood friend called and texted me, asking to go for a roundtrip. Within 10 minutes, he picked me up. He drove about two hours through the empty highways and rice fields to cross over to the province of Pampanga. We were going to the Expo Filipino Park… Read More Air Force City Park, Pampanga

Fort James (Jamestowne), Virginia

  Fort James As we walked along the path, the first thing that greeted us was an iron gate which I find strange, it’s like a gate in a residential house. Here is the history behind the fort as taken from their official website. “Soon after the English settlers landed on Jamestown Island in May… Read More Fort James (Jamestowne), Virginia

Fort Conde, Guantanamo Bay

Located around the western part of Guantanamo Bay lies Fort Conde. Neglected through the years, as nature took over covering the entire structure. While the fort itself  awaits its time to shine. So today we decided to go visit Fort Conde, it was mentioned weeks ago that people on the base can visit this secluded… Read More Fort Conde, Guantanamo Bay

UFO International Museum, New Mexico

We’ve reached Roswell last night and since then, we had plenty of sightings of aliens roaming around the city. In every establishment, there were these green figures waiting by the entrance, or their heads popping in the windows. However, we didn’t have a chance to see these foreign intruders until later. After our trip to… Read More UFO International Museum, New Mexico

Fort Gaines, Alabama

After Deelow got off work, we decided to visit one of the forts on the coast of Alabama. She mentioned it a couple of times, but her main purpose was the food in the area :).

Fort Sam Houston Quadrangle, Texas

I need to make a post dedicated to this particular site. Yes, it is part of Fort Sam Houston but the historical significance of this compound is important enough to have a blog of its own.

A perfect way to start the day is to visit Biloxi’s most famous attraction, “Beavouir.” Before, I had no idea what that place was and why it was so special. Deelow told us that this was the home of the only Confederate President Jefferson Davis. Prior to that, the only Confederate person that sticks to… Read More Beavouir, Mississippi
