Vacation, vacation!

Summer has just arrived and I was wondering, where is the perfect place to spend a day or two, para naman I could make most out of the season? Is it Baguio? Tagaytay? Puerto Galera? Considering my budget (aww...), I had to make a smart choice, eh? I have to have fun without worrying how am I gonna eat the week after. Have you guys went to these places? Kindly advise me.

If I went to Baguio, I'm sure gonna need alot of money to travel, to shop for native brooms, strawberry jams, peanut brittle, etc. etc! And how about the lodging? Hell, I'm sure gonna need enough loot to secure a fine and comfy hotel room. Or at least an apartelle suite! But I guess majority of the cheap apartelles there were fully booked as of April 1 already. Hay. But Baguio is one of those places, I crave to go to. Perhaps the reasons are its string of interesting places like the Mansion, The Burnham Park, the Grotto, it's luscious flower and vegetable gardens and of course, it's popular fine weather. Yeah, it's too hot right here in Cavite. I'm sweating in my sleep. That's how hot it is. If I went to Baguio, it would be a breath of cool fresh air!

Now let's go with Tagaytay.

I went there just last year and spend two nights at a very decent apartelle. I need not mention it. Hehe! Well, my experience is a little bit awkward because I had to travel for several kilometers just to eat lunch! I should have chosen a place near the marketplace so I won't be burned by paying bus fares back and forth. Anyway, when I was in Tagaytay, I went to the Tagaytay Picnic Grove and embarked on it's Eco Trail. It's nothing more than the ordinary trekking. Yeah, the Eco Trail is a few kilometers of series of bridges that almost surround the entire vicinity. When you travel it's entire distance, you get to see the magnificent view of the Taal Volcano and the lake the surrounds it. You also get to see birds flying around. It's really a nice way of connecting with nature. Not outstanding, but for a nature lover like me, okay na! Should I comeback to Tagaytay? It'll be practical to comeback but it has minimal amount of adventure. I want an adventurous summer.

What about Puerto Galera. (God, I hate that name!)

I've heard several good things about it from a friend, though I think she's probably overly hyping it. According to her, I'd really love the clear water and its alabaster sand. She said, I need not worry about entrance fees because it's an open beach. It's the lodging that I need to think about. But anyway, it's not so much of a problem daw because there are cottages priced below 1 thousand. (But I guess the rates have increased now that its peak season). Well, I said okay but deep in my heart I wasn't so sure if I'd like to visit the island. Know why? I never really liked the beach because I don't know how to swim!! I prevented myself from swimming because I've always been afraid of water species like turtle, shark and snail(?) Stupid as it may sound but that's one of my fears. Well, if my friends keep their persistence, I might probably end up dipping in the wanters of Mindoro. You think I'm gonna like it?

Hah, I'm so full of crap, no? But anyway, no matter where I'd go for the summer, I only wish to experience few things: relaxation, enjoyment, fun and happiness. Wish me luck!
