Travelling to a Luxurious Vacation!

“Let your dreams take flight at Disneyland. Reserve tickets now!”
I always see this phrase online on some travel sites. As I see my goal last year to travel to Disneyland and meet Mickey mouse. But it was not realized, hopefully this year we could. Browsing different discount travel packages like stockbridge consultants is what I do now in preparation for that long time dream. I’m looking for any agency that offering low cost, quality vacations for just about any vacation interest anyone may have.

I find this site also on online cash advance which is relatively easy to obtain, provided one meets the basic eligibility requirements of the lender. We’ll it’s just for unexpected or emergency expenses.

I just want to have that exotic vacation and I know that many travel agencies along with their usual full cost, luxury trips offer these options. And a full service options include airfare, other necessary modes of travel while at the vacation destination, hotels, meals, touring interests and any other perks offered in the package.

A worry free vacation from the time a person steps onto the plane until the time they return home is what I want. Traveling to Hong Kong? It is possible, just want to make sure my finances is okay.

Chocolate Hills - Philippines

Just voted on the New 7 wonders of Nature. Good thing chocolate hills were still included in the Top 77 now. For me, it’s wonderful, unique and a must see paradise. My late father who is also a “Boholano” always told me the legend of chocolate hills when I was a kid that brought a tear in my eye, [on the tale of Arogo, a young and very strong giant that fell in love with an ordinary mortal girl called Aloya. After she died, the giant Arogo cried bitterly. His tears then turned into hills, as a lasting proof of his grief.] Until now I keep on wondering how it was look like because I been to Bohol three times but not really on that hills.

The most common belief is they were an ancient coral limestone reef that was shaped by many thousands of year’s erosion by both water and wind. That is why, I’m planning to go this summer and explore my father’s hometown.

This campaign organized by the non-profit New7Wonders Foundation, to choose the New 7 Wonders of Nature, is off to a promising start. This is my opportunity to vote. Let us support the country’s 3rd National Geological Monument and proposed for inclusion in the UNESCO World Heritage list.

Paradise Philippines- Burnham Park, Baguio City

As what I have written in my previous post on “A Must See Paradise Philippines“, I was so amazed and happy that I have been to City of Pines and Produce – Paradise Philippines Baguio. Known as the summer capital of the Philippines. The home to many tourists spots and is a weekend getaway of those living in Metro Manila. The coolest place ever just like my hometown in Camp Phillips, Bukidnon during Christmas season.

It was not in my plan to go to Baguio because I was just attending for a wedding. But the group ( mikel, mito and mae ) decided to dropped by before going home since it was just I guess two hours from Pangasinan.The way to Baguio is just the same as going to Davao City via Buda. The long and winding road was along our way overlooking at the panoramic view of the place. Such a wonderful place away from pollution. You can mesmerize the cold breeze and see the foggy sky as if it was just early in the morning.

Long before, I used to dream that someday I could go boating in Burnham Park. It was really fun when you were the one to row your boat and sing,

” Row, row, row your boat dancing down the stream! Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily life is just a dream! “

Boating in Burnham Park really fascinated me, with its lagoon, trees, flowers, and picnic grounds. Burnham Park is a great place for relaxation and recreation which is ideal for family. Chairs and benches are distributed around the park for those who just want to sit down and relax. You can also go biking and strolling along the park where tennis and basketball courts, a few restaurants, outdoor kiosks, a children’s playground are within the park. Seeing beautiful and happy faces eased our lonely moments. Ideal place to take pictures. We went to Baguio Cathedral, the church where Aga Mulach and Charlene Gonzales happily wed. I was able to see also the overlooking view of the whole city at night.

That was my fascinating experience in Baguio. Someday I can visit again together with my family in God’s perfect plan. For me, it was just a Paradise Philippines, city of Pines Baguio.

Paradise Philippines: Home of Finest Pineapples

Wherever I may roam

The distant land to see

I long to go back soon

To sweet Bukidnon home.

Her lovely mountains high

Her forest old and grand

Bring memories to me

The home I long to see.

There my heart, yearns to be

In far away, Bukidnon land

Under its blue and starry skies

Where love and joy never die.

When you heard the word “Bukidnon” what usually comes in your mind? Definitely, you would visualize the long terrain of mountains and highlands. The highland Paradise Philippines located in the Northern Mindanao Region.Bukidnon is considered as the food basket of Mindanao. It is an agricultural economy where agricultural firms like Del Monte Philippines, Lapanday Diversified Products Corp., Mt. Kitanglad Agri-Development Corp are involved in the pineapple production. Dole Philippines and Mt. Kitanglad Agri-Ventures, Inc is into banana production. Other business includes Bukidnon Sugar Milling Corporation (BUSCO), Crystal Sugar Milling for sugar milling, Phil-Agro Industrial Corporation for starch production, Menzi Agricultural Development for cacao. Agaropyta Phils. Inc., Bukidnon Greens Inc., FP Obrero Farms and ARDEM, Inc for cutflower production. San Miguel Foods Corp. (SMFI_PFC), Monterey Farms Corp., Swift Foods, Inc are food manufacturing giants.

Bukidnon is my home! For me, it is a Paradise Philippines in the mountain. I lived here for almost twenty four years and yet eager to explore more of its wonders in nature. Wherever I may be, my heart yearns to come home to my beloved hometown.

I always remember this song: “Bukidnon My Home” when going to different places. Truly love and joy will never dies.

I will tour you in my place, Camp Phillips, Bukidnon. The home of Pineapple Plantation. The modern community of Camp Phillips is located in Agusan Canyon, Manolo Fortich, Bukidnon. The climate is relatively cool and moist throughout the year. Del Monte Pinapple Plantation has an area of 90 sq km, is one of the largest in the world. Just an hour drive from Cagayan de Oro is Camp Phillips. You will be able to see the big pineapple statue upon entering the community and taste the delicious pineapples. The people are very friendly and accommodating. You can see all houses are the same but only differ in colors. Del Monte Company provides free house and lot for those who are working in the company with free electricity and water. Such a good privilege that one could offer.

There is a clubhouse and a golf course within the plantation. Where golfers and ripening pineapples are found. Established in 1928, the famous Del Monte Golf Course’s first nine holes were designed by Peter Crawford while the second nine by Celestino Tugot.

As the lyrics of the song: Wherever I may be, I long to go back soon and sweet Bukidnon home. There is no place like home. Memories abound and my heart yearns for its wonders. You too can explore and visit! Try it yourself!
