My Travels: Top 5 Highlights 2011

It's the last day of 2011 and it's been a very wonderful year for me. Let me share with you the highlights of my travels this year:

• Manaoag
• Mom and I hopped on a bus and went to Pangasinan to visit the Our Lady of Manaoag. Just the two of us, which is a first because we usually would travel with my sister or with one of my aunts. It was a long trip but the visit is always worth it. Bonding time with my mom.

• Bacolod/Dumaguete
• The very first time that I visited Bacolod and experienced eating in Manukan. The people are really very nice and friendly plus the tone of their dialect is in fact very malambing. The following day, we traveled 8 hours from Bacolod to Dumaguete! It was like a roller coaster ride! The zigzags, rocky roads, a highway in the middle of a field full of sugar canes. Plus we get to ride a RoRo from Bacolod to Iloilo. Wee! It was such an amazing trip!

• Boracay
• It was a surprise that my boss actually included me in the few of the employees who will be traveling to Boracay for our business unit's Strategic Planning activity. Our stay there is extended for us to have a time for some Team Building activities. I had such a blast with the after parties as well.

• Vigan
• Another first time for me to visit this place! The food, the heritage village, the churches, the Baluarte, which is only some of the experiences after our visit to one of our dealers there. I really wanted to go back to this place again, hopefully to Laoag as well.

• Cebu (Larsian/Sky Adventure)
• The second time that I have visited Cebu and the first time that I have experienced the Sky Adventure and eating in Larsian! The edge coaster is by far the most scariest thing I did this year!
