International Travel

Fifteen months ago my wife and I were headed to Thailand.  I'd been in the country for about six months.  

We had bought cheaper tickets and had to spend four days waiting for the day of our flight.  Then finally when we go there, the Cebu Pacific agents insisted that we buy my wife a return ticket back to the Philippines.  Well, we tried to argue about it, but have you ever tried to argue with any agent at the airports here?  So we paid over a hundred dollars for a return ticket (refundable without problems, of course, just call and cancel and request a refund, they said).  

I have been to 16 countries and counting.  The Philippines is definitely on my list to visit someday.  What areas should I visit?  What are the touristy things?

Thanks.

Which is the cheaper hotel in Philippines and What facilities does it provide???

Hi guys. i`m from Europe, and i`ve been wanting forever to go to Philippine, for a vacation. I might just do that next year, and i want to ask you how much would YOU pay for a 15 days vacation in Philippines? I want to know "how much is too much".

We have tickets to get to Hong Kong, but from there we will have to get tickets to Philippines - Manila, Dumaguete, or Cebu.  I would like to travel with some heavy baggage (we're allowed a huge baggage allowance on the flight to Hong Kong).

But I just checked into the baggage regulations on Cebu Pacific.  Apparently there is a 15kg allowance per person.  After that it's 2000php for each 5kg.  So if we have even just 50kg extra between the two of us, that's 20,000php: $400.

Anyone have any experience or advice how to get from Hong Kong to the phils with heavy bags?
