Fam Goes To Kadayawan 2011 - August 17, 2011 Day 1

My parents, Darl and Xy went ahead of me to Davao.

August 17, 2011, 4:25am is my flight schedule. The night before, I checked in thru the website however I wasn't able to print my boarding pass. I kept thinking that departure time is 4:45am. I haven't packed my stuff yet and I set the alarm to 3am. It snoozed for 5 mins. Then I realized, it's 4:25am. Hurriedly, put whatever I could find in my bag then stormed out. Arrived at NAIA Terminal 3 around 3:45am. Went from counter to counter explaining that I checked in earlier and asking if they could print the boarding pass. My patience and hope are both running out. But thanks to the last person I asked, he printed it for me. What a relief! It's also nice that I'm not the last person called to board the plane.

Day 1

We had a good breakfast.

Photos from the Museum.

When we stepped closer, it's made out of durian.

Then we went to Eden Nature Park.

Hearty buffet lunch.

Freshest fruits.

Overlooking Davao City

Prettiest flower.

Jack's Ridge.

Caramoan + CWC Trip - July 15-18, 2011 Day 4

Woke up 5:15am to catch the shuttle to the airport.

Bye CWC!

Caramoan + CWC Trip - July 15-18, 2011 Day 3

Bye Caramoan! Took the 8am ferry ride to Sabang port. Waves are rough. Quite an adventure!

CWC

Love that it's a hotspot.

Had lunch at CWC after checking in.

After lunch, we registered and started with kneeboarding. After two successful rides, we went to learn wakeboarding. I'd say it takes a lot of tries to learn how to ride a wakeboard. Time will also be consumed taking turns. I love the speed but I love surfing more. :)

We only had an hour to wakeboard because we have to go to the market and buy pasalubong. We also went to SM Naga.

Their bar is called Happy Ending. Pretty cozy and nice staff.

Going to CWC made me wonder how it's like in Lago De Oro. Much closer.
