i’m probably the worst travel blogger on this side of the planet, hehe. for one, i have not been out of the city for two months now. thus, i don’t really have anything new to share. most of all, accounts of my travel come several months LATE…..VERY, VERY LATE, tsk, tsk… to date, i haven’t written about my 2007 hong kong trip, my feb 08 palawan trip, and my may 08 pandanon trip. anyhow, i’ll try to remedy that with this “late post” about palawan, hehe. at least an installment account of the trip. thanks to a fellow ‘96 UP High Tunobers, I now have the needed push to get myself in front of the computer and properly chronicle my rather short trip. in this post, i’ll just cover the very basic questions on how we got to puerto princesa and el nido, where we stayed, and the most important concern of budget travelers such as I, HOW MUCH we spent for the trip.

foiled plan

grrr…. we won’t be able to go to thailand as we initially planned.

darn, double darn.

fare is just too expensive. haha, from 6,900++ back in april, the airfare now costs 16,300++ and rising. on top of that, we would be spending the first few minutes of 2009 in flight. that’s because our schedule won’t allow us to stay beyond january 1 and the flight that fits our schedule leaves at 12:05 A.M. on january 1, which means we’ve to be at the airport as the year 2008 bids farewell. hayyy… so this year we’d have to content ourselves with a trip to luzon, hehe… that is if madayon pud siya [LOL!!] 

well, i know we’ve tickets for cebu-manila-cebu [dec. 27 to jan. 1], but with no itinerary and accommodations, yet. so we’ll just see come december. i’m crossing my fingers we can swing it to SAGADA….
