You know what I fear most when I was traveling? Toothache!! That might rarely happens, I know but it did happen to me when I was on my Europe holiday last October! It started with sensitiveness on the gums during the second week of my vacation, I thought it was would go away after taking some painkiller but it did not. The pain came back after the medication wore off and the funny thing is that the pain only comes at night when I was going to sleep. I never experienced that before and since I was in Paris at that time, I was really "helpless" on what I should do. All I could do was to take the painkillers and had early nights, that helped a bit... now coming to think of it, I think it must be due to late nights and not drinking enough water during my vacation.For those of you who love to travel frequently dread having this problem and not getting any medication, perhaps it would be wise to register with Dental Departures? I just got to know this website recently and it interested me to know that we can actually visit these dentists from 32 countries around the globe. There are 3850 plus dentists who are part of this Dental Departures website and not only that, we might get to save up to 70% of the quotes. From the website, we can actually compare the clinics and review all their details listed inside. Once we find the perfect dental clinic overseas, we can book for an appointment and if we wish to cancel our booking, it could be done too without any charge. All the details are listed in the website, it is interesting to know that such treatment could be done via online. Everything in the website sounds so easy and convenient and this is like "killing two birds in one stone" at the same time. Prior to the treatment, one can continue to travel with a smile of confidence!
As for me, the first thing I landed in Malaysia after my Europe trip, I quickly booked an appointment with the dental the next day. After the thorough check-up, I had one tooth extracted with four stitches involved and it really cost a "bomb!" I really regretted going to the local young dentist. Sigh... If I known this website earlier, maybe I would have saved some ringgit doing it overseas! Maybe they would just gave me some medication to heal my gum instead extracting out my good tooth....
A THREE HOURS CITY TOUR when we embarked in Mexico on the second morning. My sister booked the three hours city tour in Ensenada, Mexico, a van came to pick us up from the port. Ensenada is the border of Mexico and it reminds me of Hatyai, a border town too between Malaysia and Thailand. We were taken to a shopping area where we must haggle for the goods. LOL.. Yes, something common in my own country... Anyway, we did not buy anything for ourselves... just a wooden handmade truck for my grandson which cost $8usd. Nothing much to shout about on this three hours excursion, I was so sleepy on the way back to the ship that I dozed off and only awaken when we were driven through the town. All in all, I just wanted to step onto Mexican soil and I would give this a miss if I were to go on this Mexico cruise again. LOL... At the open area shopping walking towards the Blowhole... This is La Bufadora Blowhole, an amazing natural marine geyser that is capable of shooting water over 60 fe
