My Travel Itinerary to Northern Luzon
"First Taste of Philippines..."
This 1st trip is with compliments from budget airlines Airasia - thanks! Airasia! Well, it was a free trip in a way as you only need to pay for the airport taxes - so why not, since I have not been to Philippines... The offer was in Dec 2005 and travel dates for this was till Oct 2006. I have not really planned how I should travel in Philippines and did not even check whether the dates I have booked coincides with the typhoon season.... Some even say I was crazy as I don't even know where Clark is ..... the airport which the budget airline is landing. Anyway, this does not bother me as all I need to do is to find out more to move on from Clark to where I want to be..... and that was just what I did and had an exciting taste of Philippines.......
