In the south of the Philippines is an island entirely covered with palm trees. It boasts the best waves in the country and attracts surfers from all over the world. It also happened to be my home for the last month of 2017. Siargao was my island home for 35 days. I adventured on land and sea to create this bucket list of tourist spots in Siargao. While the island is known as a surfing hotspot there are so many awesome things to do in Siargao that don't involve the waves. Here is the ultimate Siargao bucket list!
Wondering about the best spot to stay on Siargao? I wrote this guide that breaks down the island into the best regions with my personal hotel/hostel/resort recommendations: WHERE TO STAY ON SIARGAO ISLAND
I thought I'd kick you off with the best tours. I've been to all these spots and I challenge you to head out to these locations and come back without a smile on your face. It's pure magic on the land attractions and out on the island hopping! All the links below go to Klook. Either book online with Klook or at a vendor. The other online sites are overpriced sometimes by triple or more for the same tour.
ISLAND HOPPING – NAKED ISLAND, GUYAM & DAKU – Epic day of exploring the three closest islands to Siargao mainland. Unlimited palm trees, white sand and island vibes with a great, seafood lunch.
SUGBA LAGOON BOAT TOUR WITH KAWHAGAN – I love Sugba Lagoon. It's truly a gem of a spot with a 5m and 10m diving board in the middle of a vivid blue lagoon! An incredible day.
JEEPNEY LAND TOUR WITH MAGPUPUNGKO ROCK POOL & TAYANGBAN CAVES – An epic day seeing the sights of Siargao as you explore caves, tidepools, palm-tree rope swings, and palm tree viewpoints.
PRIVATE LAND TOUR: Vist ten attraction in one day and hit all the Siargao hot spots with one trip. Beaches, caves, rock-pools, palm tree swings and viewpoints.
SOHOTON COVE TOUR: My favorite place in Siargao isn't Siargao… it's Sohoton. This is a must-do. The most incredible islands you'll ever see and a 10/10 view from the sky for drone lovers.
#1 Enjoy the best Siargao Surf spots!
This list of things to do in Siargao has to begin with the surf, it is after all the surfing capital of the Philippines. Siargao hosts the 'Cloud 9 Surfing Cup' each September, an official WSL Pro event. It also boasts waves almost all year-round, similar to surfing hotspots like Oahu, Hawaii. The Cloud 9 boardwalk and viewing area has become one of the most popular Siargao tourist spots.
The beauty of surfing on Siargao is that there is a surf break for all levels. Personally, I suck at surfing so I hit up the beginner waves at Jacking Horse. I did enjoy watching the seasoned surfers tearing up the bigger waves out at Cloud 9. This wave barrels and is not only one of the best waves in the Philippines but is ranked in the top ten waves of the world.
If the waves aren't rolling in nicely at the beach breaks you can pay $4-5 USD to ride a boat out to an island break less than an hour from Siargao and surf the afternoon away in the middle of the ocean.
These are some of the popular surf breaks in Siargao and what you can expect at each of them.
Cloud 9: This is the most famous surf break on Siargao and has some nice barrels. We spent many mornings watching the experts carve it up from the three-story hut that sits out over the water. This wave has singlehandedly made Siargao the surfing capital of the Philippines.
Jacking Horse: The most accessible beginner wave on the island. A great spot for learning how to catch a wave but often crowded with surf lessons and it has a strong tide. Lots of paddling if you aren't a gun. Some of the local long boarders tear it up here!
Stimpys: A consistent left-hander, which is a great place for short-boarders to have a little fun.
Pacifico: Although its a long drive (up to an hour) from General Luna, at Pacifico, you will find some of the biggest surf on Siargao.
Rock Island: Take the boat out for a fast-moving right-hander. Best for experienced surfers.
Guyan (Secret Beach): Head on past the trespassing signs and enjoy small rolling waves great for beginners. It's about 30 minutes from General Luna.
If you don't surf there are still plenty of things to do in Siargao! I only surfed three times in Siargao during the whole month but still had an action-packed adventure. If you are wondering what to do in Siargao and you aren't a surfer this list has you covered with all of the best places to visit in Siargao.
#2 Cloud 9 Pier
One of my favorite things to do in Siargao was to wake up for sunrise and chill out on the end of the Cloud 9 pier. Sometimes surfers were tearing it up and watching that was awesome. Other times I watched the sun slowly rise in the distance. Hardly anyone wakes up to head out there except for a few others, quietly enjoying the start of the day at Cloud 9. It could be something to consider when you are thinking about where to stay in Siargao. Somewhere near Cloud 9 pier means you will have your sunrise spot sorted! If you had out here for sunset you will find yourself sharing the hut at the end of the pier with quite the crowd. It doesn't get the perfect sunrise or sunset due to its location but it's one of your best bets if you are in General Luna. I wrote a full blog post about the best sunsets spots on Siargao best sunsets spots on Siargao.
#3 Magpungko Rock Pools
Magpupungko Rock Pools on Siargao Island are one of the most popular things to do and easily my favorite tourist spot on Siargao.. Just a 45-minute moped drive from the main tourist area of General Luna, the rock pools are exposed at low tide and are an awesome spot for hours of exploring and cliff jumping.
The crystal clear blue water had me speechless. This is an epic little area, with coves, caves, and cliff jumping spots aplenty. There are multiple spots to get your backflip on if you are into a bit of a jump. I advise wearing water shoes or just regular shoes like me as the rocks are very jagged and sharp to climb. Make sure you check the tides in advance (they change daily), so that you don't arrive during high tide. When you get the tides right, this is a truly magical spot and one of my favorite places to visit on Siargao Island.
PRIVATE LAND TOUR: A great way to explore the best locations on Siargao Island is with a private land tour starting at just $20 when booked online with Klook. The Land tour is customizable and includes all of the top locations like Magpupunkgo, Tayangban Cave Pool, Coco Rope Swing, and the epic palm viewpoint. You can really tick off most of the epic Siargao hot spots (the tour includes 10 attractions) with one big adventure day! Here is the link for the activity booking page on Klook: Siargao Island Land Tour

#4 Tayangban Cave Pools
Tayangban Cave Pool was one of the highlights of my many adventures throughout Siargao Island. It was one of the best caving experiences I have had in Asia. For 15 minutes you swim and float in darkness, only aided by torches. Bats fly around you until you finally emerge to the open cave pool where you can cliff jump from seven meters.
Immediately after descending through the opening, we were chest deep in water. We swam through the dark caves, guided by a solitary torch. From time to time bats swooped down on us and eerie noises shot out from the distance. The water was mostly chest height so you could walk through in most sections if you preferred rather than swimming.
The cave opened up after fifteen minutes with a huge archway that helped to breach the darkness and welcome us back to the sunlight. It was then just a short swim to the open pool, which is the end of the tour. Many people finish here but there is a cliff jump spot into the 18ft deep water. That was a big bonus for us and made it one of our favorite places to visit in Siargao!

#5 Coconut Palm Forest at the Top of the Road
This is a spot you will likely drive to without even planning on it. On the way to destinations like Pacifico, Tayangban Cave Pool or Mapgpupungko Rock Pool you will pass through an area we called 'top of the road'. I'm not sure if this is a local/official name or something we came up with but by the end of our month on Siargao Island, we all knew it by this name.
It's halfway to Magpupungko Rock Pool and you will know when you have arrived. You will veer around a sharp corner after about 30 minutes of driving from General Luna, and all of a sudden, you will be looking out over thousands of coconut palms. I think we pulled the mopeds over to the side of the road almost every time we came here to check it out.
One morning we even came for sunrise. Even though it is not a spot to see the sun come over the horizon, the colors were so beautiful as the light slowly broke out over the palms. The Siargao region is just covered in palms it has to be the most palm trees per square meter in the Philippines! We did have to wake up at 4 in the morning for that mission. Sunrise in the palms is nice and at both sunrise and sunset, you can get some light rays shooting through the palms!
#6 Sugba Lagoon
Sugba Lagoon is one of the most popular things to do on Siargao. It's a short day trip from General Luna, Siargao to a spectacular lagoon surrounded by epic mountains. A floating hut has a diving board and SUP rentals. The day trip costs around 1500 pesos (30 USD) per person or more if you book it in the tourist are of General Luna. However, we managed to find a way to get to Sugba Lagoon for 300 pesos (5 USD) per person. You can read about that by clicking the link below for the full blog post.
Despite being a recommended as one of the popular Siargao tourist spots, Sugba Lagoon isn't overcrowded such as spots like Kayangan Lake in Coron. You won't have the lagoon to yourselves but it's a big enough area to find your own piece of paradise to chill, take photos and hang out. It is a 4000-hectare sanctuary, which you will enjoy on the drive in as well as while you hang out in the main lagoon. Activities at Sugba Lagoon include renting a big wood raft, SUP boards, diving board, swimming and relaxing in the cafe.
*I recently heard that a 10m diving board has been built in some trees on the edge of the lagoon. It wasn't there when I visited but if you jump from it, send me a photo and I'll add it into the blog! I think it might be one of the things I must do in Siargao if I return.

#7 Siargao Island Hopping – Guyam, Daku and Naked Island
There are so many awesome things to do in Siargao Island but one of the most popular activities is to get off the island and go island hopping from Siargao. There are three beautiful islands only a short long-tail boat trip away from General Luna, which is the tourist part of Siargao. Guyam Island, Daku Island, and Naked Island are the three stops along the tour, which includes pick-up, drop-off, and a seafood lunch. The whole Mindanao region is covered with beautiful islands
Guyam Island is a tiny island covered in palms. You can walk from one side to the other in about 50 steps! It's a beautiful little Oasis!
Daku Island is the biggest island of the tour and a great place for a swim and lunch. Small huts line the beach, perfect for chilling in the shade and enjoying a seafood banquet!
Naked Island is a small sandbar, which earned its name by literally just being sand. A few bits of grass are growing on it now but it is a great little stretch to hang out with mates!

#8 Tak Tak Waterfall
Heading up to TakTak waterfall in Santa Monica is a full- day adventure to the north part of the island. From General Luna, the waterfall is 1.5-hour drive but is well worth the effort. We enjoyed the waterfall to ourselves. Cliff jumping, tree jumping, and exploration to the top of the falls were the highlights of the adventure. It's one of the less touristy things to do in Siargao but definitely worthy of making it in to my Siargao travel guide. It's the only waterfall you will find on Siargao but a pretty damn cool one!
Full Blog Post: Tak Tak Falls – The Only Waterfall on Siargao
#9 Alegria Beach
The first thing I noticed at Alegria Beach on Siargao was the white sand and crystal clear water. Coconut palms lined the beach. It could have been a postcard. This wasn't one of the popular Siargao tourist spots with just a few locals hanging back on the grass behind the beach. It is quite a long drive to Alegria Beach from General Luna. It can take about an hour driving.
There is quite a bit of reef at this beach but there is still water deep enough to swim in, which isn't too common on Siargao. One of the hardest things to do in Siargao is to find a beach where you can swim without being near a reef. Alegria isn't perfect but you can get fully submerged in parts without stepping on sharp rocks.
Full Blog Post: Alegria Beach – The Best Beach on Siargao
#10 Santa Monica Pier
In the very north of the island is one of the least touristy things to do in Siargao. In the town of Santa Monica is a huge pier. We headed out here after a day of visiting Alegria Beach and Tak Tak Falls. Siargao isn't the best island for sunsets as the main Siargao tourist spots don't really face west at the sun. However, this is one spot where you can watch the sun drop down over the horizon on the ocean.
Sitting out on the end of the pier, we watched as the fisherman packed up after a day of work and chatted with a few young kids. The drive back to General Luna in the dark isn't too fun but we stopped halfway in the dark, turned off our moped lights. It was then that we were blown away by the epic blanket of stars. It was the best starscape I have seen in my entire life! Fireflies buzzed around us and we couldn't have been more grateful to be on Siargao in those moments!
#11 Shaka Cafe Smoothie Bowls
This is not a food blog but there are a few spots that will make it into this Siargao travel guide that you need to try! Shaka is the standout and an obligatory acai bowl is required from this chill little cafe right by Cloud 9 surf break. With lots of different smoothie bowl options, you can't go wrong especially with a coffee included for $5 USD. Not a bad way to kickstart your day! Don't forget to upload a photo of your bowl to Instagram because these bowls are works of art. If you didn't gram it.. did you really have a smoothie bowl?
#12 Pacifico Beach
It may seem like a long drive but a visit to Pacifico beach is one of the things to do in Siargao that you will not regret. Far away from the crowded waves of Jacking Horse in General Luna, Pacifico gives you that North Shore, Oahu small surf town feel. A few resorts and homestays are nestled in the dense palm trees that line the pristine stretch of beach that is Pacifico.
The drive towards and past Pacifico is beautiful with winding roads leading you along the coast and in and out of palm tree forests.
#13 Beach Clean-up
Halfway through my stay on Siargao, I received an invite on Instagram from @thesuncrew.
The Sun Crew is an organization in Pacifico that has over 40 registered kids who they help in a number of ways. Some of the kids stay with The Sun crew, others came and hang out and do activities. Each weekend they organize a beach clean-up at 9 am on Saturday to help keep Pacifico Clean. More importantly, the kids learn early on that rubbish can have a negative impact on the environment and keeping it clean is instilled in them at an early age.
After the beach clean-up, the kids have a surf and a big lunch, which is kind of the reward for the clean-up, although they had just as much fun running around picking up the trash with us!
This was just one big family and was one of my favorite things to do in Siargao. Thanks so much to The Sun Crew for inviting us and to the 40+ kids for making us laugh for four hours straight.
#14 Siargao Nightlife – Hit one of the nightly parties
We didn't party too hard on the island but we ventured out into the Siargao nightlife four or five times in the month. One of the most popular things to do in Siargao is to surf during the day and party at night then repeat that every day for the entire trip.
The bars in Siargao actually have a cool system that works well for the partiers but also the clubs and makes the Siargao Nightlife busy every night. Each night is a different venue and the bars share the nights of the week. If you feel like partying just ask anyone where the party is at that night. They will give you the pre-pre location, pre-location and the actual party, which will kick off around 11 pm. Because of the surf and the nightlife, backpacking on Siargao is becoming more and more popular every year.
Bravo, Rum Bar and Viento seem to be the popular picks throughout the week but hands down you can't leave Siargao until you have had the 'Jungle' experience. Each Friday night there is a wooden shed with open walls that fill to max capacity and becomes one hell of a party. During the day it looks like a place you would keep your horses but come Friday night you don't want to be anywhere else!
#15 Secret Beach
I mentioned this spot earlier in the surfing section but I think it deserves its own bullet point. Secret Beach or Guyan Beach is about 30 minutes drive from General Luna. You'll know you've arrived when you see 20 motorbikes with surf racks parked in the middle of nowhere on the side of the road. You'll need to walk through the palm jungle for about 15 minutes up and down a few hills until you will reach the coast. Here you will find a small surf break with good intermediate waves.
The walk to the beach is reason enough to visit but this whole experience just exudes island vibes.
#16 Dapa Town
While it might not be high on your agenda of things to do in Siargao, to visit the main town of the island, I always like to check things like that out. In Dapa you will get to see Siargao life beyond the tourists. We did some grocery shopping here, had to visit the pharmacy (none in General Luna), left from Dapa port to visit Socorro and had lunch here on the way up north several times. Life on Siargao is pretty relaxed whether by the surf or not.
Tip: We had a burrito and shake at the Mexican place in Dapa for $1.50 USD. No complaints.
#17 Sunset at the Secret Mangrove Wharf
Just before you reach Del Carmen, a small town in the northeast of Siargao you will unknowingly pass one of the best sunset spots on the island. This is one of my favorite things to do in Siargao and each time I visited this magic spot I was the only tourist around.
The wharf extends out towards the mangroves which are the focal piece of the view along with the perfectly still water. When we first saw this water so still, we knew it would be an amazing spot for a colorful reflection if the sunset blew up. We were in luck.
A local took us out in a small boat and we also sent the drone up on every occasion we visited this spot. From the sky, this complex mangrove system only gets more and more epic.
Full Blog Post: Secret Sunset Spot – Del Carmen Mangrove Wharf
#18 Visit Corregidor Island
It's not a common thing to do in Siargao but it was one of my favorite spots in the region. Corregidor Island is about 30 minutes by longtail boat from General Luna. It isn't normally included in the daily island-hopping trips. Often it is a stand-alone adventure with resorts like Kermit offering tours to Corregidor.
On Corregidor, a small number of locals live in the village. Beautiful beaches cover every inch of coastline. It is one of the few islands in the area, which has an elevation. This means hiking. we hiked to the top of Corregidor, which is covered in long grass and palms. It's a landscape you don't see very often.
#19 Join a local Karaoke Party
It pains me to say this because Karaoke almost drove me insane a few times in Siargao. When a local family has a birthday or just feels like it, they fire up the karaoke machine and settle in for a 12-hour jam session. This involves some bangers and great vocals, although the majority of the day is often a very loud, off-key blasting, which you are hopefully not next door to.
The most important part is that the Filipinos love karaoke and they fire up the machine at any chance. Filipinos also love welcoming people to share in their fun, food, and family so don't be surprised if you get invited in or find a way to invite yourself in if you are similar to some of my friends.
We spent a couple of nights hijacking a local family's karaoke party and I watched as my friends slaughtered some classic tunes in a way that made me never want to hear those songs again. It's always a great laugh and a good chance to hang out with some locals and get beyond the language barrier with the help of some classic anthems!
#20 Watch the Sunset at Cloud 9 Pier
I mentioned earlier in this post that the Cloud 9 pier can get a little busy at night but it's all relative. You will have space to sit down on the edge of the hut and watch as the pastels in the sky burn and slowly dim. Watch the last surfers retire from the waves below as the sky darkens.
#21 Chill Sessions at Kermit Restaurant
Hanging out at Kermit was one of my favorite things to do in Siargao. The breakfast wasn't necessarily cheap but for $5 USD you got a choice from french toast, a big bowl of fresh fruit, bacon, and eggs etc. Also included was a coffee and a fruit smoothie. Pretty decent value if you ask me.
The Wifi on Siargao is pretty unreliable all over the island. Kermit wasn't perfect but it was always a good place to start the endless wifi search. Out the back, they have a few pull-up bars and a slack line. We tried very hard to learn to slackline but that shit is hard! My mate and I would work out on the bars at Kermit and then jog the 3 kilometers down to Cloud 9 for sunset. Island life!
Kermit is a chill resort and it looked like the place I would want to stay if I wasn't a tight-ass budget backpacker!
#22 Visit Sohoton Cove in Socorro
Our favorite day on Siargao… wasn't actually on Siargao. We island hopped on the ferry from Dapa and then a few small boats to Socorro then Sohoton Cove.
There's a day-tour to Sohoton Cove offered on Klook for about $50 including lunch was is pretty reasonable considering it is about a 1.5-hour journey out there! It will be a shorter/compressed version of my trip below (my trip was an overnight stay) but you will still get a great look at the area. The link to the activity booking page is here: Sohoton Cove Island Hopping Tour
We visited so many cool spots in one day on our tour that I will list each one individually:
Blue Lagoon (Titikan Lagoon)
Water so blue it reminded me of Kawasan Falls. I don't understand how something can be so milky blue right next to crystal clear water around the corner. We arrived at the Blue Lagoon and took a short tour in a private boat up and down the lagoon. It's similar to the lagoons in El Nido.
Tip: this is the most epic place to drone from. You won't see it until you are in the air!
View the full blog post: SOHOTON COVE NATIONAL PARK TOUR
Crystal Cave
Venture deep into this epic cave system. I mean really deep. We walked several hundred meters into the cave with our guide. Watch out for stalagmites and bats. You can also squeeze down a small tube for several hundred meters. It's so tight that we all came out covered in mud! This is not one for claustrophobes!
Hagukan Cave
This was the craziest damn cave ever! To start with you swim in an entire way to the back, which extends over 30m. Once inside Hagukan Cave, if you splash the water you will soon discover why this is labeled as the luminescent cave. The water will glow electric blue as you splash. We were like a big bunch of kids splashing about, fascinated by the glow!
Magkuku-ob Cave
We thought the Hagukan Cave would be by far the best cave and the highlight of the day but shortly after we visited Magkuku-ob Cave. You swim into the cave then climb up into the cave before emerging at a 5-meter cliff jump back into the lagoon where you began! What an adventure spot this is.
Club Tara Resort Diving Board
Our tour guide parked the bought at a pier to a bit of a random looking resort. However, it had a 5-meter diving board. They knew us too well. 30 flips and crash-landings later my head was full of water and we had the best time! Definitely, try and stop here if your guide is up for it.
Behind the resort is a huge lake, which I am having trouble locating the name of. Definitely, make the five-minute walk over the hill to check out how peaceful it is.
Sunset in Sohoton
Finally, you should end your day on a beach or in your boat like us, enjoying this epic region as the sky lights up. We were blessed with an absolute belter of a sunset. Fiery red marked the end of the best day ever!
#23 Go Cliff Jumping in Siargao
Siargao is a small island in the Philippines that from first glance may seem to have no cliff jumping opportunities and maybe cliff jumping is just not of the things to do in Siargao. In fact, when I first arrived I thought there would be no jumping for my next 30 days on the island. Throughout our adventures, during the month we ended up finding quite a few spots ranging from 3m to 8m.
Tayangban Cave Pool: 7 meters
Magpupungko Tide Pools: 4 meters
Magkuku-ob Cave: 5 meters
Sugba Lagoon Diving Board: 3 meters
Club Tara Diving Board: 5 meters
Tak Tak Falls: 3-6 meters

#24 Find the Best Local Cheap Eats
Where to eat on Siargao Island: We had a month to try the good and the not so good. We were on a budget so the price is just as important as taste to us. These were our favorite Siargao backpacking budget eats:
Miguels: Awesome burritos and tacos for $1.50 in General Luna. They are prepared quick and they go down great with a San Miguel Beer.
Ronaldo's: It's the local favorite. They serve just about any food but the best is the bbq chicken which they do out the front on the bbq. It takes forever to get your food but its pretty cheap and pretty good quality. Go with a group of friends and hang out for quite a while before you get your food! A chicken curry is only $2 to give you an idea of the price.
Aventinos: After a long day of adventuring you don't always want to wait an hour at Ronaldo's. When we wanted something quick and cheap we headed to Aventinos pizza. It's super cheap and you can get a huge pizza for as low as $2.50 and obviously more expensive with different toppings.
There are quite a few more but those were our three go-to cheap spots to eat in Siargao.
#25 Go Off-Road on Random Roads into the Jungle
The beauty of Siargao is that is so raw and the island atmosphere is so real! General Luna is touristy but 90% of the island is not touristy at all. Jump on your moped and go for a drive. Turn off onto some random dirt tracks during golden hour and watch the light rays shine through the palms as you get eaten alive by mosquitoes. Getting lost in the jungle was one of our favorite things to do in Siargao during golden hour.
#26 Shoot Photos on Siargao's Most Epic Road
At either sunrise, sunset or just whenever head down just pass 'Top of the Road' and you will be on a long stretch of road. Coconut palms line this road and it's not til you send a drone up that you will fully understand how awesome this road is. If you don't fly a drone then no worries. It's still the best road on the island for photos. We shot both from the air and down on ground-level and they are my favorite shots of the trip.
#27 Climb a Coconut Palm to the Top
If you love a challenge, try to copy the masterful locals who scale a coconut palm in seconds. The first few steps up the cuts in the tree are easy until you find yourself tired and 10-meters high in a palm. This might just be one of the hardest things to do in Siargao.
#28 The Bent Palm
While there are many palms that have grown sideways on Siargao (They can't all be perfect!), there is one that has had an extra little bit of attention than the others. We had a blast in this cool little spot taking some photos and getting glass in our feet while wading down the river! I believe that now there has been a rope swing installed and it is a Siargao tourist spot with the locals hanging out there. If they take you for a ride in the boat, enjoy it. We only had the option of the 'glass in the feet' walk down the river!
#29 Coconut Palm Forest for Sunset or Sunrise
Hanging out inside the coconut palm forest is so damn cool. I was just overwhelmed no matter which way I turned. Thousands of palms, small pools of water, light rays shining through, small fires burning off rubbish, pet pigs squealing and small wooden huts. It's an amazing place to explore and once again if you drone, send it up here and look around. It's not one of the commonly suggested things to do in Siargao but you won't regret it!
#30 Hang Out with the Locals
No matter how many awesome things there are to see or how many waves you will ride, the most important thing in each destination I visit, is the locals. You are visiting their home. Not only should you treat every inch of their land with respect but these are the people you want to hang out with if they give you the chance. This is one of the best things to do in Siargao and I encourage you to go out of your way to meet a local at karaoke, a surf, a chat at breakfast in the hostel, a beach cleanup or a full-day adventure. Think not what can they do for me but how can you help them. Our favorite day on Siargao was the beach clean-up we did at Pacifico with all the local kids and surfers. The people in Siargao are pretty chill and happy to share a joke with them.
Siargao is a beautiful island. Treat this island with respect. Leave it better than you found it and be proud of your actions. Make a positive impact during your visit. I hope this Siargao travel blog has given you an idea of just how beautiful Siargao is!
Here is some more useful information about Siargao to help you plan your trip and itinerary the best you can. I hope this blog post really does help you explore the island and enjoy one of the best places in the Philippines.
Siargao is pretty straightforward when it comes to picking a region to stay. 90% of people choose to stay somewhere near General Luna. All of the bars, restaurants, tours, ports, and hotels are near General Luna and Cloud 9 surf break. There are a couple of other regions you could stay in like Pacifico but unless you are purposely looking for isolation, General Luna is your spot. So what are my suggestions for where to stay in General Luna?
First, I'll tell you where I stayed. Because I stayed for over a month, I managed to find an Airbnb. It was 4 blocks back from the beach, had wi-fi, A/C, a private bathroom, patio and inside was just two bunk beds. It was super basic and I stayed here with two mates and my sister. It was 900 USD for the entire month, which we split four ways so it was just $225 each. There's a photo below of our sweet Airbnb pad on Siargao Island.

Budget Hostel in General Luna: The White House: The best budget option for dorm style/hostel accommodation on Siargao Island is called The White House in General Luna. For just $10 a night you can grab yourself a dorm bed.
Value Pick in General Luna: Lampara Siargao Boutique Hostel: Lampara Siargao is an oceanfront boutique hostel conveniently situated on the exotic island of Siargao.
Luxury Pick in General Luna: Nay Palad Hideaway: Nay Palad Hideaway is one of the most luxurious accommodations in the Philippines. With its beautiful outdoor pool, terrace with either garden or ocean views, comfy seating areas, and is the resort you will see featured on Instagram all the time!
Best time to visit to Siargao Island
The best time to visit Siargao depends on what you are looking for. Many consider the best time of year when the weather is best but that also means crowds. I will give you a few options below about when is the best month to visit Siargao Island:
September: Siargao hosts the 'Cloud 9 Surfing Cup' each September, an official WSL Pro event
July – November: The best time period for surfing in Siargao is July until November. The easterly Mindanao current provides the islands with waves that came from the deepest regions of the Pacific.
March – May: If you aren't as interested in the surf but are craving that sun. March until May should bring you guaranteed sunny days. But it's the Philippines so you can't guarantee it.
Where is Siargao Island Located
Siargao is located in the region of Mindanao in the Philippines. Mindanao is the southern region of the Philippines.
How to get to Siargao Island
When I visited in 2017 there was only one flight a day from Manila and one from Cebu. Now there are 10-15 flights a day so the question of how to get to Siargao has become much easier. Without going into deep detail on every single option. These are the options for how get to Siargao:
- Fly from Manila $60-$100
- Fry from Cebu $60-$100
- Ferry from Surigao City to Siargao Island $5
There are ferries that leave from Manila and Cebu but they go to Surigao City first and then Siargao Island.

When will the rest of the thousands of images and documents that NIST has be released?
NIST Asks 9/11 Photographers Whether Images Should Be Withheld
The agency {NIST} investigated the collapse of the World Trade Center towers (Buildings 1 and 2) and World Trade Center Building 7. Its notice contains a link to two FOIA requests, apparently still pending, from attorney Michael S. Leavy of the law firm Gennet, Kallmann, Antin & Robinson, P.C., whose request states that the firm represents Consolidated Edison Company of New York and certain of its insurers in a New York U.S. district court case concerning the collapse of Building 7; and from James R.

Symantec enlists partners for Backup Exec beta testing
Symantec Corp. is ready to roll out the Backup Exec 2012 beta, which includes better capabilities for protecting virtual machines, a new user interface and more granular recovery.
Backup Exec 2012, designed for SMBs and Windows-based backups, will support the V-Ray features already integrated into Symantec's NetBackup enterprise application. Backup Exec 2012 and Backup Exec 2012 Small Business Edition betas have gone out to 45,0000 Symantec registered global partners.
Symantec has generated a lot of noise around its V-Ray technology, which makes all of its products better optimized for virtual machines. For Backup Exec 2012, V-Ray lets Symantec customers do a physical-to-virtual conversion. This lets an administrator take a backup copy and convert it from a physical machine to a virtual machine for disaster recovery. Organizations will be able to recover a failed system to a physical server or to a Hyper-V or VM guest.
"The backup to the VM can be done in parallel, in sequence or serially," said Aidian Finley, senior manager for product marketing for Symantec's Information Management Group. :"The administrator has the choice of when to do that conversion. We call it 'no hardware physical recovery.'"
The Backup Exec administration console has a new interface so administrators can automatically configure common policies and settings for quicker configuration and data protection.
Backup Exec can be purchased as an appliance, a software application or as a cloud service.
The rollout is the largest partner-only beta program Symantec has ever put into place. The idea of providing the beta product to partners is to give them a chance to shape the application, said Arya Barirani, senior director of product marketing for Symantec's Information Management Group.
"It's really a way [for partners and customers] to get their hands on this product and test it," Barirani said.

There's a place with a fake duck substance that will thrill your chewing tastebud-place and astonish the mind with it's oddly gamey succulent powers of … imitation seems like an ugly word, doesn't it? What Chu Chai does is provide vegetarian versions of popular animal meats – fish, chicken, beef and duck all get the soy and gluten-based treatment and come out on top, thanks to some expert cheffing on part of the, UH, chef, but also – and I've believed this for a long, loong time – fake meat is good meat, and it's not "meat" or meek or meat™. It stands to reason that when every molecule is designed from the ground up that all bits of it going to taste juicy and perfectly seasoned and if slightly chewier than the real stuff, well, I actually like that, and miss it when I haven't had it in a while. Taiwanese groceries are awesome.
I couldn't have been happier to join my friends for a birthday dine-out at Chu Chai, even if it is on the fancy side of the grounds that it shares with Chuch (the casual sister-resto that I've wanted to try for a long time.) When it's the same kitchen cooking, but lower prices and a BYOB, I can't help but yearn for the ability to try a few more appetizers and get drunker doing it. But that's just me, and I'm a lush. ^_^
The appetizer we *did* get was beyond expectations, even better than the fried mushrooms I've had here before (those addictive umami buggers, sweet and crisp-chewy and nutty). We split a couple orders of the 5 Tastes plate, with fresh ginger, cashew, red pepper and coconut on a waxy squeaky tender lime leaf burrito that took it over the edge as the precious mouthful bouldered and crested around the mouth transforming and changing as you chewed. Four pieces for ten bucks is a bargain when sheer flavour is considered and it was my favourite experience of the night by far. Date food primando.
For ordering, I should mention that as delicious as the food here is, I have one complaint and that's not even with the spice level, but with the lack of ability to get the kitchen to ramp it up. This is Thai food we're eating, after all, but both times I've asked for spicy here have amounted to a barely perceptible added note of fresh chili, in fact I'm pretty sure the extra spice in my Fish with 3 spicy sauces was just a few extra bird chiles floating in the sticky brine. To the service's credit, though, I think they liked that I'd asked that at all because my plate was just *groaning* with veggie fish, which is one of my favourite veg meats of all. I snapped it all up, a tad bit sweet for my tastes but absolutely yummy nonetheless. The brown rice that came with it was also steamy perfection, as it should be, the perfect foil and mop for the sauce.
Having been gifted with a plethora of plant-based pescafish, I did what any curious foodie would do: I traded. I traded for my neighbours cashew and pineapple shrimp (astonishingly shrimp like! I hadn't had that before. Not snappy like the real thing but still oddly shrimpy. And tasty). I traded for some veggie chicken (good and safe tasting; again, very very chicken-like. How do they do that?). I traded for duck! And there's a reason this place is known for it! MmmmmYAM that is good duckstuff. Whoever decided to manufacture a skin for it is a genius and somehow it inspires the same sort of primal scarfing that other less ethical meals spur forth. There's a dish here that is basically just a big plate of crispy duck and yes, if you hadn't guess by now I'm insisting you order it someday, it is just that good.
Being so many us it was easy to find room for dessert, especially when the options are such demure and refreshing things as mousses and tapioca puddings and matcha ice cream (a fave!). The ice creams were not so sweet, good texture and just slightly bitter from the tea and made a perfect end to a tastecoaster night. The tapioca was surprisingly redolent and special! I wish I had ordered that myself, actually! Pandan was used in large amounts, I'm sure. The mousse I didn't get to try, but I can only assume it was delish, and look at that plating! It's so 'splodey! There may have been 3 layers in that mousse, too. Mmmmmmm.
Do I love Chu Chai? Oh absolutely, there's no arguing for the taste factor here. The pricey isn't even so bad when you make it an occasional indulgence and you are paying for art and pleasure and there's nothing wrong with that. Granted, having Chuch next door still makes me curious for the casual version of all this, but all the more reason to go back and scope that out next I guess.
Oh veggie duck, we will meet again, bien sûr….

Could the Minnesota Vikings Be Gunning for the Division?
The NFC North has long been one of the more competitive divisions in all of football. The competition has always been thick in the North not because the teams are always so talented, but because the rivalries between the four squads are very real and very intense. For a long time the Minnesota Vikings and Detroit Lions have been destined for the bottom of the pack, but now it appears that Minnesota is making an upward push — and reports have them listed as looking like a playoff caliber squad.
Jim Dondero (nexpointadvisors) knows that the biggest question entering the off season revolved around embattled superstar running back Adrian Peterson. Peterson, who is coming off of a lost season thanks to off the field issues, had planned on holding out for a trade or a release from Minnesota. Minnesota called his bluff and told him that he could sit out another year or put on his cleats and help the Vikings win. So, AP is in the backfield.
With Teddy Bridgewater entering his second season of play the Vikings are much more tuned in to his possibilities. Bridgewater had a successful rookie season, going 6 – 6 as a starter with a completion percentage over 64% (11th in the NFL). Bridgewater succeeded without AP in the backfield and with nobody to throw the ball too. Now Peterson is back, Bridgewater has a few new weapons, and the Vikings are primed to make a big push in the North.

Global Water and Thames Water Partner to Bring Water Scarcity Management Tools to Customers in the UK
May 09, 2012, 07:00 ET
LONDON, May 9, 2012 /CNW/ - GWR Global Water Resources Corp. (TSX: GWR), Global Water Resources, Inc. ("Global Water") and Thames Water Utilities Ltd in the United Kingdom today announced that they have entered into an agreement to demonstrate the power of Global Water's FATHOM™ platform for Thames Water's commercial customers. Under this agreement, Global Water will develop and implement a Thames Water-specific data hosting, analytics, billing and consumer presentment interface for Thames Water's high value commercial consumers. The project will initially take data from automated metering infrastructure pilots currently underway at Thames Water and provide actionable information to consumers on their water use through FATHOM™. The initial phase of the project is scheduled to be completed by June 15, 2012, and may then be incrementally rolled out to a specific portion of the Thames Water commercial consumer population.
"Despite one of the wettest Aprils ever, we remain in drought having had below-average rainfall for 20 of the previous 25 months. This project is part of our continuing efforts to manage our increasingly precious resource responsibly and effectively over the long term," said Piers Clark, Thames Water's Commercial Director. "We know that with increasing volatility in our water resource picture we need to use water wisely. In order to make informed decisions about water, our customers need to be given access to real-time data. Global Water's FATHOMTM platform offers that. In addition, the adoption of FATHOM™ allows us to increase service levels and customer satisfaction, a key goal for the company."
Trevor Hill, President and CEO of Global Water noted, "This Thames Water deal is a critical milestone in our international expansion. We are delighted that a company as forward thinking as Thames Water has seen the benefit of our consumer-facing demand-side management tools. And as we have developed these tools from the ground up to be deployed remotely via a cloud-based architecture, agencies like Thames Water can have access to these tools almost immediately. In our increasingly connected world, people are demanding more information - specifically more personalized information - with which to make decisions. From a water perspective, this level of information has never been available - until FATHOMTM."
FATHOMTM is deployed as an integrated suite of utility-to-utility services including Automated Meter Infrastructure, Customer Information System and Asset Management solutions that have been proven to lower utility operating costs while improving service levels. The solution is hosted in a secure cloud computing environment, which makes implementation rapid and requires no additional IT personnel or infrastructure. Further, and increasingly importantly, FATHOMTM can be deployed incrementally, allowing utilities to demonstrate its power on their highest value customers before rolling it out to their entire client population.
About GWR Global Water Resources Corp and Global Water
GWR Global Water Resources Corp. owns an approximate 48.1% interest in Global Water, a leading water resource management and technology company that owns and operates water, wastewater and recycled water utilities, and provides technology-enabled services through its unique platform, FATHOMTM Utility-to-Utility ("U2U™") Solutions. Initially developed by Global Water to support and optimize its own utilities, FATHOMTM OS is a cloud-based geo-spatial integrated suite of utility-to-utility solutions proven to increase utility revenue, decrease operating costs and improve customer service. FATHOM™ puts water management tools in customers' hands.

Great Home Improvement Ideas – Keeping up your skills is going to help you avoid problems and save money on things that need to be done in your house. This article can help you decide which things can be handled by you and which ones are best left to professionals. You may find that it's best to leave some more technical work to a professional.
The most important step in making home improvements is to make sure your home will look the way you want it to. Include a little bit of your own personality in every project.
If you are looking to reduce you energy costs, you could change your lighting system to operate on motion sensors. You will still be able to turn the light on manually when you need to, and the motion detector can be adjusted for sensitivity.
For a cost-effective method of updating the tiles on your floor, use vinyl instead of the more expensive stone or ceramic tiles. Vinyl is durable, water resistant and strong. It is also easy to install because it contains adhesive on its back. Vinyl flooring comes in two varieties: separate tiles for small areas and large sheets for bigger areas.
A good quality drill is an excellent home improvement tool. A good drill can drive screws and other fasteners as well as make holes for other purposes. A drill that is cordless and battery operated is easiest to use because you can take it anywhere. You might also want to invest in an assortment of drill bits also.
Replacement is not your only option for fixing up old, dirty interior doors. Simply take the door down, and sand it until you can see the bare wood. Then, wipe down your door and paint it with an oil-based paint. Change to more modern doorknobs, too.
Even novices can repair leaky faucets. You will lessen your water usage if you fix them right away. The savings you get from this will add up since your water bill will go down.
Making pillows look suitable for a teen's bedroom can be easy. Use old clothes with interesting designs. Sew them together to put over decorative pillows. This can really liven up a room, giving it some much needed personality.
Visit open houses before engaging in a renovation project. This will give you a good feel for what's trendy and popular in home decor at the moment, and you'll learn a lot more in a real home than you would browsing the aisles at your local home improvement store. Lots of model homes have decorators who include furniture and window coverings in order to provide you with a better look. Therefore, you can simply mimic the options you like and skip the ones you don't.
As you may remember from the start of this piece, knowing your limits in regards to home improvement is important. By adhering to the guidelines shared in this article, you can refrain from making mistakes that are expensive and possibly catastrophic. It is better to get help from others than to make mistakes that you will regret later.

The Idaho Farm Bureau annual convention is held every year around the end of November or the beginning of December. The primary business of the annual convention is to set policy and elect leaders of the Idaho Farm Bureau Federation. This is accomplished in what is called the House of Delegates. Being a grassroots organization, each of the 36 organized Idaho counties select two farm or ranch delegates to represent them on the House of Delegates floor to discuss and debate all policies. The annual convention is a three-day event and has many components. On Tuesday, participants hear from Farm Bureau leaders and are updated on developments from the past year. A series of workshops follows covering a range of topics. Young Farmer & Rancher district finalist from around Idaho come to the annual convention to compete in competitions. Major awards are given to winners and runners-up in these three different events.Wednesday starts with more education of the different aspects of the Idaho Farm Bureau and launches into the House of Delegates session. The Women's Leadership Program also hold their business meeting during this time.
Thursday morning is the continuation of the House of Delegates. Throughout the annual convention, caucuses are held to elect new leaders for the Women's Leadership, Young Farmers & Ranchers, and District State Board Members. All elections results are ratified Thursday morning by the House of Delegate body, who also elect the president and vice-president of the Idaho Farm Bureau Federation on rotating years.

This is a two-day event. In the evening of the first day, a strolling buffet is held where Idaho Farm Bureau members have the opportunity to have dinner with their local state senators and representatives.Market specialists and commodity experts participate in the commodity portion of the conference. Those who have been appointed to serve on specific commodity committee meet and gain knowledge about their specific commodity, particularly how it pertains to current and future Idaho Farm Bureau policy. These commodity committees discuss and surface recommendations for future Idaho Farm Bureau Federation policy.

Water Safety Tips From The Goldberger Company & Introducing Waterwonders
- Water safety starts with supervision! Supervision is the number one thing we need to do as parents to help keep our children safe. They cannot be left in the kiddie pool the same way they are placed in front of TV. Children near water require constant adult supervision (an 8-year-old sibling is not old enough as they can become distracted easily). Floaties and water wings are not an alternative to supervision, as they will not prevent a child from drowning. Parents should exercise touch/reach supervision, which means they are always within an arm's length of the child. Remember, supervision is not a chore – it is quality time with your child!
- Older children need supervision too. Water safety is so important, but often parents take it for granted with their older children. Pay attention to older children. They love to have mom and dad watch them do cool things in the water. Encourage physical activity, doing different things, and give positive feedback. Enjoy watching them have a great time!
- Practice water safety inside and out. Children can drown in very little water, very quickly. While it may be more apparent to take safety precaution when at the pool or the beach, parents should practice safety near any place with water both inside and out: tub, toilet, fish pond, buckets of water, coolers, fountains, hot tubs, and even big puddles.
- Maintain a one-to-one parent-to-child ratio. Our children are safest in the water when there is a one-to-one parent-to-child interaction. That means the parent or caregiver is giving their undivided attention – not on the phone, not reading a book, and not watching another child (if avoidable). Parents should never leave a child unattended in or near water to answer the telephone, door bell etc. They must pay close attention even if the child is in a kiddie pool or the shallow end.
- Remove all water temptation. Keep children away from water unless supervised. That means, emptying the kiddie pool and getting covers with locks for hot tubs and spas. Families with pools should follow their state or county guidelines to keep both their children and the community's children safe. Be sure to also empty the cleaning bucket after mopping, shut the bathroom door, and use a mesh cover over a fish pond.
- Pay careful attention to temperature. The temperature of pool or ocean water can be several degrees colder than a child is accustomed to. Be sure to acclimate them slowly. Also, be tuned-in to your child – if your child is not in a good mood, then water play time will be spoiled.
- Designate pool guards. There are only so many children one adult can supervise in the water at any given moment. Invite other parents to help supervise at pool parties with several young children or consider hiring a life guard. If there will be children swimming at a big family party, be sure to designate pool guards who do not drink or socialize; perhaps two or three who can rotate. Teach kids ages 8-12 what do in case of emergency. Role play with them – what to do, when to do it, what their address and phone number are etc. Parents with children near water should also know CPR, especially when there is no trained lifeguard on duty.
- Learn to swim together. It's wonderful for parents and children to take swim lessons together – children often learn by example. Check with your pediatrician to see if you child is old enough to learn how to swim. A child's muscles must be strong enough (usually by age 6 months) for them to hold their head up out of water so they aren't swallowing it. Under the age of four, children are not mentally able to swim properly and safely. "Water babies" and other programs introduce smaller children to water play by acclimating them to the water. The best programs involve a caregiver in the lesson in the water one-to-one with the child. They start to teach basic water skills – blowing bubbles, kicking, moving arms, doggie paddling etc. As children get older they can take more advance swim lessons. Parents need to recognize that swimming lesions do not protect kids from drowning – only constant supervision can. Make sure instructors are certified and they have proper experience. Teaching a child how to swim is a gift parents can give them that will last their entire life.
- Establish rules and be consistent. Create basic rules for all pools like "no running," "no diving," and "no swimming alone." Buddy checks will play a major part – teaching children early on that nobody swims alone. Make it fun and even shout "Buddy check time!" before swimming. Do not leave toys near the pool, especially riding toys such as trucks, bikes and wagons. And do not leave toys floating in the pool. Most importantly, be consistent with enforcing the rules you create.
- Beach/lake experiences can be friendly. When at the beach or lake, the first thing parents should do is check to see if there is there a lifeguard on duty. If not, then the parent is the sole lifeguard. Go in the water with children who cannot swim on their own. Be sure to swim within the flags near the lifeguard if there is one. Do not let them play alone at the water's edge. Be careful about tides and undertow at the beach. Look out for weeds and greens at the lake, as not all lakes have sandy bottoms. And beware of debris and stinging/biting things at both places.
- Make time for the "lotion motion" – When playing with a child outdoors between the hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., be sure lather on the sunscreen (minimum of 15 SPF; 30-35 SPF is recommended) and bring hats/sunglasses. The key to sun safety, especially when a child is in and out of water, is reapplying sunscreen. Implement a fun sun care routine – "It's time for the "lotion motion!" Keep a shirt on your child. Protective wetsuits are also great and there is even clothing out there with SPF. And mom and dad should set a good example and practice good sun care too!
- Water play time is quality time. While water safety is certainly a subject to be taken seriously, do not forget that water play time presents a fabulous opportunity to engage and interact with your child in a way that's fun for the child. Kids love water, as they come out of water. Playing in water is a very natural experience for them. You can even bring toys into the tub or swimming pool. The Goldberger Co.'s Waterwonders are perfect because they are soft toys that light up and promote gentle splashing. When fun and safety are balanced, water play time can be a terrific experience for both kids and parents.
Bette Holtzman has been a family therapist and children's advocate for more than twenty five years. As Goldberger's vice president of consumer and family advocacy, she interacts with parents, product designers and professionals to help clear paths of information and inspiration in the playthings Goldberger creates and in the concerns of parents for and about their children's playtime.
The Goldberger Company is a 92-year-old family owned and operated toy company that specializes in toys for children aged 0 to 3. This summer, The Goldberger Company is introducing Waterwonders™, a line of water toys for children aged 3 and up that light up when they hit the water. These adorable, fun water creatures made of terry cloth and nylon float as an additional child safety measure. Each character is individually named and comes with its own unique story - parents will surely smirk when they read about how Albert the Alligator wants to be president of his own handbag company (rather than the handbag).

Life After Co-Working Spaces
There are two recent announcements related to new co-working spaces to be hosted in Carmel, IN. These announcements continue a trend seen not only in Central Indiana, but all across the country. As companies shift towards flexible work environments (for both work hours and location), the appeal for co-working spaces is becoming increasingly relevant.
While Smallbox owner Jeb Banner hit the nail on the head with his assessment of co-working spaces about 2 years ago, companies still face challenges when they outgrow co-working opportunities.
The top three challenges that companies face when looking to graduate from a co-working space include flexibility, space uniqueness, and cost. We are fortunate to have worked with some of the best high-growth firms, many of whom previously struggled with the leap from co-working space to monotonous, traditional office suites in town. However, there are some unique opportunities within the Indianapolis marketplace to solve this problem:
Desk Sharing:
For lack of a better term, desk sharing refers to a company subleasing an area of their space on flexible terms. Platforms like PivotDesk are used in other major markets to create a marketplace that aligns companies looking for space and with those looking to fill seats. One great example of this is Max Yoder and his team at Lesson.ly who co-habitated with the TinderBox team on Monument Circle for the first several months until both firms grew to the point that space sharing was no longer feasible. This solves a fundamental problem in real estate with high growth companies that are paying for 15-25% more space than they need because they signed a 5-10 year lease and needed to account for growth. With all the high-growth tech firm announcements (Emarsys, Geofeedia, Return Path, Salesforce, Appirio), there will likely be excess space available while these companies scale up their growth.
Spec Suites:
There are a couple of real estate developers in town that understand this challenge and have created spec suites or pre-builts. These suites range in size from 1,100 – 3,500 SF typically and include a full and unique buildout. Building owners make the investment in these spaces to make them "move-in" ready and have more flexibility because they have already absorbed the capital outlay. Two leaders in Indianapolis on this front are Zeller Realty Group and Ambrose Property Group. Benefits to the tenant company are unique space design, quick move-in, and lease flexibility. Building owners benefit from getting growing companies to call their building "home" for the long term.
As companies relocate early or downsize operations, they need to dispose of space. The benefits of a sublease scenario include move-in ready space, existing infrastructure, existing furniture, discounted rental rates and flexibility in lease term. These spaces, when in good condition, are typically absorbed quickly. This is especially important when high-growth tenants are designing office spaces, as it might be beneficial to design a layout that will be compatible to how other companies work.
Indianapolis has a tremendous business climate with many high-growth success stories. Stable companies and building owners have the opportunity to contribute to the challenges high-growth firms face which will ultimately result in a growing Indianapolis business community.

Switch Account
I have been a Verizon wireless customer for over a decade and have loved it. When I moved to the county the old and decayed Verizon lines barley let me connect myself let alone my family of 5. Days to download a single game and that's it'll everyone avoids the internet. I am paying nearly $100 a month and am being told it's old lines can't do anything. Why are these not being replaced? Told FiOS is coming in next 5 years....well 5 years is a long time especially at $100 a month. This is causing friction when kids want to relax. There is a large amount of Verizon customers in the area but many are considering other options even at a higher price to get a little better speed...a frustrated paying customer
Solved! Go to Solution.
Same thing here.I pay that also but FIOS is 100X better and way cheaper.My 5 meg super speed Dloads at maybe 200kb/ps Its so pathetic with the must get phone when you get internet and its VOIP but theres Double Taxes on it.Its useing my internet so why should I pay double.Vonage which is a much Better co. for VOIP has 3$ in taxes no matter what.So Whats the deal ?Verizon ????
Your area may have a CLEC available which can sell you DSL without a phone line. See if a company like DSLExtreme or MegaPath can sell you something. The DSL signal comes over the same phone lines if you go with a reseller.

That dry loop (just line and no phone) has long been gone. I believe verizon did away with it because they found making people pay high price for phone you never need or want. But i am not sure if other companies can gain access to the line.
but good idea my friend.

A CLEC can still sell Dry Loop DSL due to Local Loop Unbundling, until Verizon chooses to kill the copper all together in retirement areas. The drawback is, if the person is serviced off of a remote terminal without any capacity available, they can be refused access to DSL. Whereas CO-fed circuits would typically be handled with a co-located DSLAM owned by the CLEC.

Doug Schatz, chairman and chief executive officer said, "We have implemented several tiers of our cost reduction program as the environment dictated over the past seven months. The continuing slow down in orders and the uncertain timing of an industry rebound force us to take even more aggressive actions to further reduce our cost structure.
"Reducing production costs and improving manufacturing flexibility are important elements of lowering our fixed cost base. As part of our strategy to increase the use of outsourcing to achieve these operating goals, we are taking steps to consolidate our manufacturing structure. As a first step, we are phasing out our Austin, Texas manufacturing facility in order to begin outsourcing the assembly of certain DC power products," Mr. Schatz continued.
The company further reduced its workforce by 8 percent, or 107 employees, bringing the worldwide headcount to 1185 employees. This represents a 26 percent decrease from 1600 employees at December 31, 2000. As part of its strategy to take advantage of additional outsourcing opportunities, the company expects to further reduce the number of employees at its Voorhees, New Jersey facility over the course of the next six months.
Further discretionary spending restrictions were also put into place, including additional reductions to travel budgets and additional shutdown days to be taken through the first quarter of 2002.
"While difficult, the changes we are making today will increase our operating leverage as we weather this steep industry downturn. Advanced Energy continues to strengthen its customer relationships and technology leadership throughout these challenging times, positioning the company to maximize its opportunities once order volumes begin to rebound," said Mr. Schatz.
The manufacturing consolidation, reduction in force and additional discretionary spending reductions will remove approximately $11 million from the annualized cost structure, and will reduce the company's break-even point progressively over the next two quarters. The company expects to report a restructuring charge of approximately $2.5 million, and revenues in the $28 million to $33 million range for the fourth quarter of 2001.

Chiropractic is a discipline of health care. It emphasizes the recuperative power of the body to heal itself without the use of drugs and surgery. This ability is possible in all people. Chiropractors are the only professionals who are trained to diagnose and treat what are called spinal subluxations. The term "spinal subluxation" literally means a slight dislocation or misalignment of the bones in the spine.
The practice of chiropractic focuses on the relationship between structure (primarily the spine) and function (as coordinated by the nervous system) and how that relationship affects the preservation and restoration of health.
Chiropractic care, when started in early childhood, as early as infancy, can have life long health benefits. Pediatric patients can be helped with a host of problems, including ADHD, ear infections, coordination problems, headaches, general wellness, autism, sleeping problems, bed wetting, reflux, food allergies, asthma, and other acute and chronic conditions children face during childhood.
Overall, children who receive chiropractic care throughout their formative years have a much healthier immune system, experience colds and flu less often and are less likely to experience 'symptoms' in adulthood.
People generally think a chiropractic doctor only takes care of the spine to relieve backaches, but there are a variety of other ailments and physical problems that can be helped and sometimes completely eliminated through a chiropractic care program.

Below you'll find a water ionizer comparison chart along with an important educational video which points out some of the problems in the industry.
1) Unsafe Plastics Used In Asia. As the video revealed most water ionizers are using unsafe plastics.
2) Filter replacements. Most water ionizer manufacturers charge too much for their replacement filters. This "after purchase" replacement can cost you more over time.
3) Warranty vs. Guarantee. The
Guarantee is different from the warranty. The guarantee is usually the satisfaction return policy of 30-60 days, often called the
satisfaction guarantee. The Warranty is the longterm policy and can
reflect the quality and durability of the ionizer brand. Be sure to read
the terms when it says "Pro-rated". These often mean paying more money
when or if it needs repair. The ideal is lifetime or limited lifetime. But you need to read the terms.
4) Quality. When we
dissasemble the Water Ionizers we review to look at components and power supplies we also look for certifications such as ETL, UL, or CE
as important criteria for determining quality and longevity. Most important is testing the components for durability, and testing ionizer plates to determine whether the voltage across the plate is consistent to produce proper ionization.
If you have a question, a comment, or additional information to offer for upgrading the chart, or the reviews please email me via the "Ask A Question" button at the top of the left menu.
I hope this water ionizer review site can help you become a more educated consumer and determine the best value for your money. Of all the hundreds of new models entering the marketplace I know it's a challenge to try and decide.
Please email me your questions or call the number listed at the top.
