3D2N Island Fun at El Nido, Palawan (June 2017)

One of the trips that was more impromptu compared to others, our 3D2N stay in El Nido, Palawan, Philippines was indeed short but sweet. It helped that the resort offered an all-inclusive package (full board plus activities) and we engaged the services of a local travel agent which booked the flights for us as well.

Embracing Bohol in 3 days (Dec 2013)

A 3day-2night getaway to the island of Bohol before Christmas was all we could squeeze in to our busy December homecoming holiday. 

Bohol is one of the thousands of islands with beautiful beaches in the Philippines. It is famous for its beaches (of course) as well as the country's natural wonder The Chocolate Hills and is home to the Philippine tarsiers (one of the smallest known primates). We are a family of beach bums so this was a good way to spend a few days of our holiday. And what's more, it's with the company of other family members (some time for the kids to spend with their cousins).

Pagsanjan / Cavinti Falls Eco-Adventure (Dec 2013)

It was supposed to be a Laguna day trip including a boat ride up to Pagsanjan Falls, hunt for the delectable buko pie and visit UP Los Banos (my SIL's alma mater), but time wasn't on our side, almost getting lost in the new hway and taking the road less travelled. We only got to accomplish one.
