Guimaras Island, Philippines

Vacation…What comes into your mind whenever you hear or see this word?  For me, it means beach, sun, good food and drinks, sunglasses, comfy clothes, tan lines and fun with friends and/or family. 

I like going to places where there’s more fun to do but less spending.  I really don’t like spending in expensive hotels where you will just sleep in and store your things which is I believe is not very practical.  My family and I always go to places where there’s nice and affordable food and lodging.  And, we don’t need to go far since we went to visit my Father’s place (where I was also born, lucky me :) in Guimaras Island, Philippines.  It is located in the Western Visayas region.  Here are some of the pictures I took during our travel:

Swim in the blue water like your blue eyes.  :)

Oh!  Look!  Someone's hungry....

So, who said that fun needs to be in a 5-star hotel or somewhere in the Carribean?  As long as you have a family or friends that would love to share their nice vacation houses, I'd say it's a go.  What's important is you know how to relax, have a good time with the people you love, raise that glass of margarita and say, "Cheers!".

P.S.  We traveled by boat from my father's house, a small boat that's good for 2-4 passengers that's why it's not really that expensive.  ;)

There are certainly a lot of things to do and places to visit in the Philippines, and one of these beautiful places is Cebu.  I came across this eBook that offers a lot of help if you are planning to visit the Philippines.  For an extensive guide on travelling my beautiful country, you can always click here to learn more.
