Titanic Experience In Orlando Florida

Titanic is a well known ship of long time ago. I remembered when the Hollywood actors portrayed the Titanic experience and it was a hit that earned millions of dollars because many people want to see how it happened. The Titanic ship which was known to be unsinkable had sank, why and how? Many people are interested to know. That is why when that film was made. it was a big hit and earned millions of dollars.

I am also interested to know but unfortunately, I was not able to watch the movie but I am fortunate enough that I was able to visit the place where they made up a history for the Titanic experience in Orlando Florida. When we arrived to the place, we bought a ticket for our tour inside the place where they made the portrayal. We paid $30 each if I could remember it right? that was $30 per head. After an hour of waiting for our batch to come in for the tour, we were ushered in. Check it here. We were taken to different rooms. It is so beautiful and fancy.

It is interesting how they made that place where it looks like stars at night, in the side of the ship. Gorgeous!! What caught my interest was the list of all the passengers who were in the ship when it sank. The names of people who had survived were highlighted. There were lots of passengers who died than those who had survived. The most people who had survived were the ship crews and the most passengers who perished were the 3rd class passengers. The first class and the second class were not that many and the survivors are more than those who died. Interesting to know the history of Titanic. You can visit the site and see it for your self.

Trip to Florida

Florida is 9 hours drive from our place, North Carolina. We headed to Florida on May 18 to attend a graduation ceremony in Forest Lake Academy in Orlando Florida. It is a tiresome journey driving all the way without stopping except when we get gas or when we need to use the bathroom. We just bring our lunch and eat on the way. We left at 11 am and we arrive at 8pm.

We immediately check in to that Hotel close by and we stayed there for 4 nights. It is a nice place where we are at because it is peaceful. Since the Graduation will be on Saturday and we arrived there Wednesday night, we have 2 days to go around and enjoy ourselves. We went to the Aircraft Museum and spend almost a half day there, watching the displayed old planes used during the world war etc. Then we had our lunch just in the museum restaurant. They have a nice food there and the price is right.

Then we proceeded to the place where we saw the Titanic experience. Titanic Ship is very popular because it was known before to be the unsinkable ship. But unfortunately it sank. We had a tour in the Titanic portrayed ship with an energetic tour guide who explained everything that had happened during the Titanic time. It was a huge ship with different classic rooms.
Rich people have their area and the common people passengers have their places too.

We had come to the place in the ship where they displayed the list of all the passengers in Titanic who had died and those who had survived. Ad I look at the average of those who survived are from the crews of the ship. Of course they know what to do b where something happen to the ship because they are ship crews. Lots of passengers who perished where from the 3rd class passengers.

It is sad to think about it. But then it is a lesson for us to remember that we can trust Only to God not to men no matter how brilliant men are in creating that unsinkable ship, god has the final say of what will be the future of that ship.

Get Back from the Philippine Trip

Actually, were back in May but I was so busy with many things and I was not able to come here and share my experiences. Am glad I am back because it is too hot in the Philippines. Everyday is almost 100 degrees temperature and there is power cut off everyday. We are having a hard time sleeping at night, it's too hot and we have no air condition at home only electric fan which is still not enough to make us comfortable. But anyway, we had fun with our month visit there.

It is just funny because when we get back here in US, it is still cold. We use our coats hahaha. It is spring still but the temperature is cold in our state. I don't know in other states. But in the Philippines, all over the country is hot.. hot.. hot.. and power cut off.

We had a nice trip back with KOREAN air. I like the service of Korean airlines. They are taking care of their passengers very well. They are always checking if we have something to drink or if we are alright or need anything. It's a long trip. From Manila to Korea 4 hours, from Korea to Washington DC 14 hours the longest. But I am not so tired because we have our own tv screen in our seat and we can watch movies all the way if we want to. It is great!! I have fun.

I wish I can come back next year. Then we should save another thousand dollars for fare. Now we are trying our best to work hard so that we can save money for the next trip.
