An Impromptu (Mis)Adventure to Boracay - Catching up with the Daughter (Part 1)




I am the kind of person who wants to plan ahead if I am going to do  something, especially out of town trips. However, there are those of kind of trips that will just present itself when you least expect it and then, planning is out of the question and thrown out of the window and, well, you just go for the hell of it.

That is exactly what happened when we suddenly had this "impromptu" trip to no less than the Paradise Island of Boracay some weeks ago.

One year after the First Time in the City of Pines

Wow! It has been a year after my first time visit to Baguio City?  Time really flies huh? - In Supersonic Speed!

The thing is, not only was that escapade to the North my first time to be in the City of Pines, it was also my first fully documented travel-related blog post in this humble blog of mine and even if it is embarassing, I will admit that the multi-part blog post for that vacation did took a bit of a long time to complete (months to be exact). Charge that to inexperience - that will be my most decent excuse for that, LoL! I was really grateful to all the peeps who stuck with me and had a lot of patience waiting for that feature to finish.

Looking back at that experience, you can re-visit it again with me by reading the multi-part feature about the trip of a First Timer in the City of Pines by clicking the links:


For our First day, click HERE.
For the full Second day, click HERE.
The third day was our final day and a long one thus, it was split to two parts (as they do with the movies, LoL!), kindly check them out HERE and HERE.

Until next time,



Ciao!

"First Timer in The City of Pines" - Our Baguio Vacation (Day 3-B)

So, how did a 31-year-old first-timer fared in his recent fare to Baguio City?

Last time, I covered the first half of our third day of stay in the City of Pines. It was unfortunate that I had to split the post for the third day, but it cannot be helped since there is no argue that the 3rd day was our longest day in Baguio in terms of places that we visited, so I think the split was justifiable.

Moving on, the first half of the post for the third day covered our visit at the Strawberry Farms and our visit and subsequent trekking on Camp John Hay. Now, we will start the second half of the third day post in one of the places that my mom specifically wanted to visit at the camp - The Bell House.

"First Timer in The City of Pines" - Our Baguio Vacation (Day 3-A)

So, how did a 31-year-old first-timer fared in his recent fare to Baguio City?

In contrast to our first day in the City of Pines, we had a whole day of adventure on our second day as we had stops at Mines View Park, Wright Park, The Mansion, and Baguio Botanical Garden to name a few. For Day 3, we will take our visits a little bit farther as we go to a place outside Baguio City and then to a place with a very American-sounding name.

"First Timer in The City of Pines" - Our Baguio Vacation (Day 2)

So, how did a 31-year-old first timer fared in his recent fare to Baguio City?

In the first part of this feature of our vacation in Baguio City, it was shown that we chose to spend Day 1 of our trip by doing stopovers before going up to the City of Pines itself and just visiting places around the vicinity of Burnham Park when we got there. For Day 2, however, we picked up the pace and started things early as we have the "whole" day ahead of us.

Update!!! - The third part of this feature can be viewed HERE and HERE. Unfortunately, I had to split it up in two parts, but it is still a good read nonetheless.

"First Timer in The City of Pines" - Our Baguio Vacation (Day 1)

So, how did a 31-year-old first-timer fared in his recent fare to Baguio City?

If you can still remember, I said (in a couple of my previous blog posts) that I have never yet set foot on the City of Pines through my whole 31 years of existence. However, that streak was broken when we had a vacation in Baguio City for not just one, but THREE full days (4 days, 3 nights is the better way to put it).

This vacation happened last October 24, 2014 - October 27, 2014 with me and my family (wife and kid) together with my Mom, my Lil' Sis and her BF, and a niece of mine. Join me after the jump as I tell how this trip to the Summer Capital of the Philippines turned out for a not-so-young first timer like me.
