The long APEC holiday found me in the province of Cebu to avoid Manila's traffic, road closures and no-fly zones.I am not really excited about Cebu City since it reminds me so much of MNL with its malls and rush hour gridlocks. My game plan for this trip was to head to the islands and see the beach. Am so glad I did that...and so much more! 'More' in this case meant the part where I went swimming with the whale sharks in Oslob. Most people who have been there say it's a surreal experience. I wholeheartedly agree!!! The dictionary defines surreal as seemingly ... Continue Reading...

Flying @thaiairways to Bangkok
My first time flying with TG was through a media familiarization tour of Bangkok and Ayutthaya back in my newspaper days. And since I don't always go to Thailand, I was excited to try Thai Airways during our recent family trip, this time as a paying customer. Since am quite the 'nervous flyer,' finding the cheapest fare isn't the most important thing for me, but rather feeling 'safe' with an airline. So I read Wikipedia entries and customer feedback. The reviews were mixed. But I was glad to find out that for a last-minute booking to Bangkok like what I did, Thai ... Continue Reading...
