Kicking The Bucket At A Bucket List Destination

I remember being hit by a blast of hot air from a MIG 29 Smoky Bandit fighter jet on the tarmac of the Langkawi Airport during one of the LIMA air shows. St Maarten Carribean used to be a bucketlist destination for me. It is part of the Netherlands. Book a hotel there by searching for Sint Maarten in MyCen Hotels.

The modern day term bucket list is a list of experiences or achievements that a person hopes to have or accomplish during their lifetime or before dying. You can also call it a bragging list for social media.

According to Phrase Finder, it originates from the notion that people hanged themselves by standing on a bucket with a noose around their neck and then kicking the bucket away.

Kerala Pictorial by Rian Maelzer

Kerala Pictorial by Rian Maelzer.

After seeing my Kerala post, my friend Rian Maelzer messaged me and said Kerala’s a tremendous holiday destination. “Easy to get around. Varied. Consistently fantastic food.” The veteran international journalist and seasoned traveler has a good eye for photography and he was there for a vacation with his family,

He kindly allowed me to share his gallery. Here are some pics I like, all unedited. I invite Rian to add more info in comment of each pic so viewers know what they are looking at. Interesting that he visited the world’s richest temple in Trivandrum where they found buried treasures worth USD 20 billion!

Solving One Problem At A Time

Solving One Problem At A Time.

Kind follower Viji (@vrviji on IG) gave me some feedback about the Search Box on my blog not displaying as it should on his iPhone. I suspect it is also worsen by the cranky Drupal CMS I am using. Compatibility on mobile devices is inevitably complicated with so many OS, browsers and screen sizes on so many different devices out there in the market. Tip: Resetting zoomed view to default can usually help.

I requested Viji screen capture the issue for me and he kindly did and e-mailed me promptly. I forwarded it to the manager in Agoda so he can pass it to the developers. Meanwhile, instead of waiting for trouble shooting and resolution, I requested from the manager to supply me a manual link to a neutral or generic search page that will work on all devices. The text link carries my CID or ID to properly track any commission attributed to me. Do not e-mail the link or embed it elsewhere as the system will detect or validate whether it comes from a registered or approved page or source.

Such is the complex backend of affiliate marketing. To share with a friend, always share my site url or the post “article” link. Thank you for your understanding and support.

Where are the direct text links? See position or locations on screenshot attached. On the top half is that on my blog at http://www.tvsmith.my/

An Idea Came With The Storm

An idea came during the crazy storm just now. Since my blog has many travel and lifestyle content, why didn’t I place a hotel search box on it as well?

Storm was so heavy I had to shut down the PC and I am not so well versed with the Drupal CMS. Needed to research on Google. Could not do it when lightning strikes were getting very rowdy.

Anyway, it is all calm now and the search box is up on the top of the right hand sidebar on every page on the blog. Just search when you read about a place or city you like. The search results open in a new tab, or page or window depending on how your browser is configured.

Of course; one cannot place the search box on any website. Fortunately, my blog is an approved affiliate partner site with its own unique CID or tracking ID.

You can now search and book a hotel from here http://www.tvsmith.my/ or here http://www.mycen.my/
