HOT AIR BALLOON 2013
CLARK FREEPORT ZONE Feb 23 - 25, 2013 Mode of Transportation: Road Trip Hotel: Prism Apartelle Accommodation Type: 1 Bedroom Suite Cost: P1,566/person/night Booking Method: Online via Agoda Room Inclusion: None Review: If your main reason to go to Clark is to attend the Hot Air Balloon then this hotel is a perfect place to stay in. It's just across the area where the event will be held. Also, the apartelle is family friendly and no loud noise after 10pm so you can really have a good rest and relax. Activities: Hot Air Ballon Festival Cost: P100 per person Trip Inclusion: Entrance Fee Booking Method: SM via Ticketnet Review: Hot Air Balloon is one of my dream festival. It a great event and I really recommend that you try it out at least once in your life. It's just very hot as well so don't forget to put on a sunblock and wear a hat. You can also bring a tent and chairs where you can seat on otherwise you'll be sitting on the grass just like us. You do not need to worry about bringing food inside because there's a lot of food stall in the area. Also, make sure you come really early to witness the flight of the balloons and come back at night to see them light up all at once. Re-entry is allowed so you can leave after the take off and come back in the evening. For more picture please click here. |
CEBU TRIP
December 2 - 5, 2012 Mode of Transportation: Airplane Airline: Cebu Pacific Ticket Cost: P1,116.64/person roundtrip Booking Method: Online via www.cebupacificair.com Hotel: Crimson Resort & Spa Accommodation Type: Deluxe Cost: P2,500/person/night Booking Method: Online via website Room Inclusion: Cashback of P2,000 per room per night and daily breakfast Review: It's the next best thing to stay in. Overall I would rate it better that Shangri-La Mactan. They're both 5 star hotel but Crimson is more relaxing because it's not overcrowded unlike the latter hotel. Although Crimson is more expensive I was able to get it at a low price because of the promo. Activities: Sightseeing Tour (Fort San Pedro, Magellan's Cross, Casa Gorordo, Basilica del Sto.Nino and Taoist Temple Cost: P2,400 per adult and P1,410 per child Trip Inclusion: Transportation, Professional Tour Guide and Entrance Fees Booking Method: Email via the hotel. Review: The tour was great and relaxing. The tour guide didn't rush us. They also brought us to one of the famous guitar maker (my husband is fond of guitars so he was able to get one with a hard case). It was great seeing my mother's home town for the second time with my daughter and husband. For more picture please click here. |

Isdaan Calauan, Laguna
March 11, 2012 Website Cost: P300-P500 per person Inclusion: Food Review: We visited this place together with my husband's relative. I suggest that you go there in a group. The place is a mixture of everything it has magicians, statues of presidents (local and international). It's a great place for the whole family. They have boat ride and fishing for a minimal charge and they also have this wall where you buy plates and break them on the wall to release anger I guess. For more picture please click here. |
CINTAI Corito's Garden
October 23, 2011 Website Cost: P1,650 per adult and P880 per child Inclusion: Entrance Fee, Lunch and Afternoon Snacks Review: We only went on a day trip to this place, we got really curious on what's in it. The others say that it's the BALI of Batangas and truly the Architecture of the whole resort had that wow factor. To others the day trip fee is quiet expensive so the resort tend to become exclusive. During the time we went there, there was only 2 family in the area us and another family. The resort had 3 pools during the time we went there to visit. It used to be a private property but the owners decided to open it to public. For more picture please click here. |
