What better way to catch up with best friends than a trip to Honolulu, Hawaii?!

I haven’t seen two of my best friends, Reema & Sunny, since we met at summer camp, a little over 10 years ago! They came to Camp Puh’Tok (in the US) from India and Korea and we immediately bonded and had one of the best summers ever. Unfortunately, at the end of the summer, they had to return home (Reema’s from India and Sunny’s from Korea). We’ve kept in touch through e-mail and IM and decided that it is time that we finally meet again! Could we plan a summer trip that would top the one from over 10 years ago??

We decided to take the trip of a lifetime! This is where our Honolulu adventure begins…

~~~

We decided it would be best to meet in Hawaii, since the three of us are from different parts of the globe. I had a longgg flight from Miami, FL (where I am from), but luckily I had some cuddly friends to join me and my luggage!

Alas, I was off to the airport, where I slept most of the way to Hawaii. Finally, after almost half the day of travel, I landed in Honolulu on the island of O’ahu!!

I was first to land and arrive at our hotel. I was able to get some rest and wind down as each Sunny and Reema made their way to the hotel from their side of the globe.

Our hotel was incredible…

And the view, breathtaking..

As we continue to explore the Bicol region, top on our list is to visit the world famous wakeboarding site. Where else but in Camarines Sur. The Camsur water sports complex is said to be the best water cable park in the world.How to get there: ( FROM MANILA )

By Air - Air Philippines fly directly to Pili airport at Naga city and you can just take a shuttle from there or Cebu Pacific flight to Naga then a van or jeepney ride to CWC.
By Land - Isarog bus lines (to Naga) BLTB, JB Line, Bicol Express and Philtranco bus company (to Legaspi).

The accommodations are great and you’d be surprised that the rates are very affordable! Spending on your budget and need, you have several options to choose from: Trailers, Mansion, Cabanas and Villas. Visit their website for more information- http://www.camsurwatersportscomplex.com/accomodations_rooms.

I never tried wakeboarding before and after I tried it, I think my Camsur experience made me found a new hobby. Wink!

Camsur Hotel lobby - It’s not the typical airconditioned lobby you see since this have barely no walls at all! It has huge doors from ceiling to floor that is just widely open for guest to see the sceneries outside.

Trailer Park accomodation - Available for those who will stay longer at the CWC Park

The Cabanas (where we stayed)

2 single bed cost only about PHP 1,250.00! Really a good price for a nice room like this.

Here are my favorite pics from my summer holidays in London, with parents and brothers Art & Herc.

The UK Parliament  is a very popular sight. You can also see the most famous clock in the world, Big Ben. (the picture has been taken from the London Eye, a huge wheel hovering above the Thames river)

This is the old Townhall of London. It is now converted to a tourist complex that includes couple of small museums and a faboulous Aquarium that I visited, full of tropical fishes, jellyfish even sharks! (photo taken from the London Eye)

A very weired coral at the London Aquarium that looks like a sunny side up egg.

Three little jellyfish. (London Aquarium)

The Golden Gate Bridge - is said the be the most famous bridge in the wold. It is also the longest suspention bridge ever made by man.

Another fast rising tourist spot in the region is the town of Caramoan. In Naga city Philippines. The beautiful beaches on the islands did not escape the scrutinous eye of the French Survivor Management, they picked this place to be the location of the famous French Survivor TV show series. Most Islets in Caramoan boast of virgin beach, powdery white sand and clear blue water. The place is not yet commercialized that there is no public resort or establishments yet. Most tourists just rent a boat at the Centro and do island hopping (Whole day boat rental is Php 1,200.00 -1,500.00). Boatmen are very hospitable and friendly, an attitude exemplifies by most Bicolanos. Do remember that there is no overnight accommodations on the islands, tourist either just camp on the beaches or go back to Centro where in you can find low price inns.

Of course I need to have a picture with the beach on the background




Brave souls decided to rock climb to the lagoon
