Mom Violy's Wellness and Staying at the Double Tree by Hilton in Newark, California


Our body need rest after you've just arrived from an eleven hour flight from Manila to San Francisco.

During our arrival on May 4, 2022 there we're too many activities to attended upon family get together.

Our mind is filled of excitement yet our body is asking for time to sleep longer.

Carmina would take a short nap while Mom Violy us busy telling stories.

Realizing it takes a week to adjust ourselves to being jetlag even being constipated triggers us even not having an appetite tend to eat less and getting full easily.

Our body calls our attention we no longer the three years ago where we jump out and get ready on the go each day.

We need R&R and attention to your medical check up.



Aunt Marissa had offered Mom Violy to stay at a one night hotel for her belated birthday gift last year.

Mom Violy didn't want it in the Philippines since it was too risky during covid season.

Mom Violy decided to take the offer in California when she'll be doing her medical check up for one day.

Carmina gave screen shots of which hotel was located in Fremont and Newark, California area where there was access to have a shopping mall close by.

A place where Carmina can navigate herself through memory a place she grew up.
