This review is for a trip I did a long time ago, 2013 to be exact. It was a month or so after typhoon Yolanda hits Southern Philippines. I remember it that way because in the conference that I attended, I was the only Filipino. Most cancelled because of the typhoon and it's effects to the Philippines in general. In my case I had to go ahead since all of my flight are already paid, and the hefty

Puerto Princesa Airport pre-departure area. It's spacious but not much is in here. No restaurants and only a few shops. You just use it to leave and arrive. That's it! For seniors and PWD, wheelchair is available. Security is more strict than most airports I have been. Lighter is not allowed. Pay parking is available but it's cheaper if you wait outside, in Mercado, if you're

5J 805 is between Manila and Singapore. This is an afternoon flight because we are connecting from PPS. We arrived in Naia 4 and we had to take a Grab taxi to Naia 3 because there is no more of that airside bus transfer. The personnel there told me that they use the streets outside now. Dumb decision Naia. The flight was a few minutes late. Aircraft appears well-maintained inside. I

Corong-corong Beach in El Nido on a good season. There was one time we were here on a rainy season and the beach was muddy.

This was taken while we were having breakfast in Casa Rosa Restaurant in Taytay, Palawan. This is around 3 hours drive from Puerto Princesa City.

This is Claucar Beach Resort in Langogan. To go there, you will need to walk down a steep stair. Going down is easy, but going up when you're going home is a task!

This beautiful bridge is in the center of Hoi An. During the day it's pretty but at night it's even better with all the lights focused on it. Expect a lot of tourists too and ticket is required to go in.

This is in Taipei Zoo during our trip November 2015. Taipei Zoo is several times bigger than Manila Zoo and is located a little far from the City. We needed to change trains several times but the highlight really was not the zoo nor the animals but the gondola ride! Okay, it's not the gondola but my fear of heights!

I have always wanted to go back to Vietnam for a holiday. I specially liked the food when I was in Ho Chi Minh which was my first travel abroad. This time I ventured farther north, in Central Vietnam specifically in the cities of Hue and Hoi An. I had an red eye flight again with Cebu Pacific from Puerto Princesa with a connection in Manila. The flight arrived midnight in Than Son Nhat. I

This is a last minute Agoda booking which I booked when I am already in the arrival hall of Don Muang International Airport in Bangkok! This is the last leg of my vacation and business trip this July 2016. My flight is Air Asia Thailand from Ho Chi Minh and I just wrote the address of my usual hotel in Bangkok. The immigration officer didn't seem to mind. There's free WiFi in the arrival area so

This is a business trip, the purpose of which is to attend a convention in Taipei, November 2015. Cebu Pacific provides the best connection as we are coming from the province, so we arrived very late. I was travelling with my Mom this time and we're both Taipei first timers. We took the bus from the airport, it took more than 30 minutes I think to our bus stop which is in front of Ambassador

Funny how getting a US Visa is such a big deal here in the Philippines. I applied because I am planning on attending a few days of job related training in Florida. A friend who has just got her 10 year multiple entry visa encouraged me to lodge my application immediately because she has doubts about the impending Trump presidency. DS160 This is the first step. Filling up the form is straight

I was in Taipei to attend 2015 FASAVA this third week of November. Taipei is so clean, everything is in order. Highlights of the trip is Taipei 101 and Maokong Gondola, as I have acrophobia!

Again, online check-in is not allowed as our ticket is check through, so we went to Suvarnabhumi early. We were there before 9:00 PM. The check-in counters are marked but it’s not clear where the queues would be. There’s a counter for web check-in too. Pinoys don’t travel light. It is very evident on the carts that are already on queue when we arrived. The counters are still closed. So, we

There's only a few resources available on the web about Cebu Pacific Check Through service. Being "check through" it means that the ticket was bought as a connecting flight and that on departure, two boarding passes are issued. Our flights were 5J 640 and 5J 931 and the schedule and duration are shown below. It shows that outbound, we only have 2 hours and 45 minutes in NAIA 3. Flight
