Our 2019 Company Trip (Okinawa)

Hello! It's been a while since my last blog. I just want to share to you guys what happened during our company trip two weeks ago.

Last June 11 to 13, 2019, we went to Okinawa for our company trip. Actually, our company is doing this annually for us to unwind,  to release the stress from work, to have fun and to have a quality time with each other.  This is the 4th time I joined their company trip. So, where did we go on my 1st three company trips? Here's the summary:

My 1st time : Kumejima, Okinawa

My 2nd time: Okuma, Okinawa

My 3rd time: Cebu, Philippines

Honestly, this is one of the things I like on my company, I think they also know the phrase "Work Hard, Play Harder". 

This 2019 (my 4th time in joining the company trip) we went again to Okinawa, but this time, we stayed at Hotel Nikko Alivila Yomitan Resort Okinawa in Nakagami District. Hotel Nikko Alivila has its own private beach and pool that you can enjoy.

Let me summarize our activity during the trip:

1st day: We ate Okinawan noodles with spare ribs or commonly known as Soki Soba and we all enjoyed the private beach and pool of the hotel. We did have dinner outside to eat Okinawan Dishes.

2nd day: We had Western Cuisine (buffet) for breakfast and then 7 of us went scuba diving, 2 went snorkeling (but 1 of them cancelled)and  after the activity, we ate lunch at Murasaki mura (an eat all you can for only 1000 Japanese yen), after eating some went to ride "Segway" and others (including me) returned to the hotel. I did experience VR and the relaxation pool of the hotel. One of us also experience the SPA services of the hotel. We did have BBQ for dinner.

3rd day: We had Japanese Cuisine for breakfast (buffet). We left the hotel early and buy some souvenirs for friends and relatives, we also ate lunch at the market as we always do whenever we're in Okinawa.

For this year's scuba diving activity, I was really happy that the staff of the shop took photos and videos of us while we're under the beautiful sea of Okinawa. I played the videos and browse my album a number of times and until now, I am still browsing my album. Haha! We really had fun! I am so happy that they chose that shop for this year's activity.

Though we don't have much activity for this year's company trip. I'm still thankful that God gave us a cloudy weather instead of rainy weather. That's what made our trip special for this year! Haha!

I will share some of the photos. I’m not sure if I am allowed to post their pictures so to be safe, I will only upload mine. haha!

Snorkeling

I tried this iCAROS maybe an hour and a half after having lunch, and I think it’s not recommended to do so ‘coz you will go up side down while doing this. This only gave me a headache and muscle pain. haha! 

But, thanks to their relaxation pool, I kinda recovered from the dizziness brought by the iCAROS

i always love taking picture of sunset
