Hi all! I am so happy today. I got my ticket to the Philippines. I will stay 4 weeks in January 2008. WONDERFUL!!! My highest priority this time will be Palawan. I also hope to go to Mindanao. Maybe a visit to the ati-atihan festival too!! I just discovered that it takes place in January. It will be easy to go to work every day in December 
Let us pray that the people affected by Mitag will be ok. I miss Bicol a lot and I feel for the people there when I see the typhoon warnings. I feel helpless.
Take care!

Hi Patric! I am so happy this time cause it is years since I managed to go in the winter time. I think the weather will be less of a worry too, especially in the philippines, where there are sometimes typhoons in other times of the year. As a northern born Swede I feel so trapped during winter here. I even get depressed. Although lately I have started playing icehockey again. I am very fit now in fact, lol, I ran my first Stockholm marathon in June  .
Palawan has been something of a "must go" destination for many years now. What I feel a bit bad about sometimes though, when going to such places is that I dont have a diving certificate. After 16 years of travelling I didnt get to take one yet!!!! I am sure it would be nice to have that in Palawan .
I will surely give u all a trip report when i come back home.
Take care

| A few travel itinarery changes. I will go immediately to Davao a few hours after touchdown in Manila. I feel really excited about Mindanao! At least as excited as about Palawan. I will try to do a loop, starting in Davao and ending in CDO. Then try to go to Puerto Princesa from CDO. It is possible that my enire month will be spent on Mindanao if I like it a lot! I am a very changeable person when it comes to travel plans, as you might have noticed!! I got a good deal with Cebu Pacific at about 2400 pesos one way, Manila-Davao. At least I think it is a good deal . I figure it is best I go to mindanao first, cause if I dont I will never get there...hehe. Very excited about this trip now.

WOW - I have been missing a lot here....Sorry guys.
TheSwede....if you want to visit Philippines...yes Mindanao is a must....for those who are not into the "exotic" travel, they wouldn't have a good time.
But...Palawan....I would NOT pass that up either.....I have a video shot on Palawan.....We hope to make it there next time.
Have a GREAT TRIP!

| Hello guys! As usual I am having the same problem as I always have when going to the Philippines. It is very hard to make up my mind on the route . I have now decided to do a lot of places in Mindanao and stay there the whole month if I like it a lot over there. It feels like it is going to be hard to do both Mindanao and Palawan in the same trip in only 4 weeks. Unfortunately . But maybe I will do some Negros and/or Panay after Mindanao instead. That will be done by flying from CDO to Cebu city. Palawan feels a bit scary not to book in advance and decide to do late, I dont want to miss my flight from Manila back to Sweden!
