Or should I say where have you been this summer? Well I already finish our trip in bohol it is actually one of the fascinating wonder of nature especially the chocolate hills and the beach wow! panglao island delivers great relaxing feeling there and its really beautiful. Our next stop is boracay, yes, one of the beautiful beaches here in the philippines. Hope it turns out great, since our weather seems unpredictable these days. Anyway what about you guys? where do you plan to go? or where did you go this summer? Share it and keep it coming guys! cheers!

We are planning to go the different islands here in Cebu such as the Bantayan island and the Camotes island. They have amazing beaches there and are of white sand. I am excited to go because I will be with my boyfriend. I just hope our supervisor from work grants our leave requests :)

Good for you Katrina,I would always want to go there to, I am so sad that I did not make it this May but I will definitely go there next year after going back to bohol again. Don't worry about your supervisor I know he will understand it besides, working too much is to stressful you need to loose a bit and relax. Have fun though! Good luck!

Really? I'd be thrilled to see you there too. We can actually set up a meet if you're interested. I'd be going there with my friends so having new acquaintances there will be awesome. What do you think?

i am planning to go to enchanted kingdom but don't know if it will push through. I have only been there once and just 1 hour before closing time.

Don't worry Enchanted Kingdom is already a good place to have fun. And you can go there by any vehicle you want. In ayala there is a bus terminal there that goes in Enchanted Kingdom and also there are other malls that have bus terminal goes there.
If by car you are already been there so you know where to go. It is much better if you have a car or van since the food there is actually slight expensive. If you are in a tight budget. Bring some food and park your car there in Enchanted Kingdom.
There are also van going there in enchanted kingdom don't know the how much for the ride though.
And most of all, Have fun!

We've been to Laguna hot springs. My sons love swimming in the pool of warm water. the resort also had slides for children and adults so we all had fun.
We're in Malaysia for 2 weeks now. When we come back to the Philippines, We hope to go to Cebu.

Try to stop by in our Island. Have you heard about Camiguin Island? Actually located near bohol. A fast craft from there to camiguin for 2 hours. I tell you, you wouldn't regret. Just try browsing in the internet for pictures and more info about camiguin.

Actually we were almost there in our island hopping tour in panglao island, bohol. When we watched dolphins the ones handling the boat said that they are not suppose to go there, because it is restricted.
Besides we are planning to go there again in bohol and at the same time cebu so why not include camiguin for a total vacation experience! Hell Yeah!

it's great that you are enjoying the trips summer has brought you. it's really fun under the sun.
the past two weekends, we were able to enjoy local resorts in batangas and laguna and an animal farm party. it's more like a picnic really since my nephews and nieces are all in vacation-mode. hehe some family members are currently in laoag, vigan and pagudpod.
this coming weekend, we're going off to a private vacation house with pool and fish farm. everyone's hoping the water isn't too cold for a night swim.
next weekend, as more family members will be arriving from davao city, we plan on taking them to enchanted kingdom, water world and ocean park. the weekend after, we're checking if we can go to zoobic in subic or baguio again just like a few summers ago. while my brother and his family will be off to hongkong and macau, same trip we did 2 summers ago.
personally, i would like to once again visit the mountain province and make the sagada and batad trip with my friends like we used to do before.
i haven't made the may calendar of activities for the family yet. we're still focused on april. and it's already full packed. hehe
have a great summer ahead!

Great job Guys! Having this kind of trip once in a while is really a good treat for you and your family as well. Good time for bonding with the family.
Me and my former team or colleagues are planning to go to potipot this summer, Potipot is also a white beach in luzon. I don't know yet if everyone will come since we have our own different teams already.
Well, Let us all have a wonderful vacation this summer! Cheers!

Philippines is a haven. There are wonderful places around here from north to south from east to west. Indeed Bohol is a wonderful place so although it is far from Manila a trip to Bohol is still worth all the time, expenses and effort. Boracay is your next destination! Well another paradise I should say. You will never regret visiting this place. I myself do love Boracay!

What amazing trips you had, cool! I have no plans of traveling this summer with my family although I'm waiting for my college friends who are planning a summer getaway. The last time I went with them was sometime in 2005 or 2006 I suppose, as our club's team-building activity in Laguna. They went again last year but I wasn't able to come. I hope they get to lay down the plan for the next getaway because I'm so excited to swim! I think the last time I went for a dip was back in 2008.
Bohol, I've always wanted to get there! The chocolate hills would be nice but what I really want to see there are the Tarsiers. I hope I can hold one in my hands someday, that would be cute! Teehee.
Have a nice day/summer!

Summer is always fun! If I have a chance to visit beaches today, I will choose the Samal Island in Davao City. Not so expensive trip but the beach was really cool. Hope to see the Chocolate hills in Bohol and visit the Camiguin Island. I want to visit the Mount Hibok-hibok.. ohh.. and maybe visit the old friends and relatives for fun.

I'm coming home to Philippines this May & June for vacation as well as my brother and his family. He wants to see the northern Luzon....Laoag and Vigan, although I have been there long time back it would be nice to visit the place again and now with the family. However, me and my boyfriend would like to travel to neighboring Asian countries for at least a week or two.....but it is also our long time plan to visit Batanes and it is totally dependent on the weather there....how is it now? Is it the normal summer? Or is it raining already?

About the weather? one word "unpredictable" i don't know if it really involves climate change but I guess it is?
Vigan I really loved to go there if you want to go to a historical place the so old philippines, that is the right place, with the touch of spanish thing.
Asian countries is also good place to go. One place in my mind, even recently it had a disaster there i still want to go to japan. I want to know there culture, their food and their manga or anime things. Its so cool! Anyway have a very great summer vacation here in the philippines and hope you enjoy your stay.

I usually just go to Samal Island, I live in Davao so it is just about 15-minute boat ride away from the city. Very convneient since we get to enjoy world-class white sand beaches and it is very peaceful there. Also, me and my friends are planning to visit either Siargao or Camigiun this May so I am really looking forward there. Been to Camiguin once before and if we push through with Siargao, it will be my first time there :)
