Every Wedding has a promise of a great ever after and of course a great Honeymoon Vacation!
Dada’s sister Cherry recently got wed and decided to tag us along on their Honeymoon Vacation. Hehehe!

| Wedding Invites |
We
have booked our flight with Cebu Pacific but since we got there 1 hour
before the take-off we were no longer allowed to check in. What a start
right?!

FU
Cebu Pac!!! They were offering us double the price of what we initially
paid for to rebook our flight and since we are on a budget we just
decided to take a later flight with Philippine Airlines
(www.philippineairlines.com/)
(PAL rates were 50% cheaper, so there you have it Ladies and Gentlemen, we flew with Philippine Airlines)

Now, the four of us still remained positive despite the turnout of our flight and still pushed thru.
We
had arranged our stay with Grace Park Tourist Inn which is literally 5
minutes away from Puerto Prinsesa Airport. They were kind enough to
contact us and asked for our flight schedule since we were late against
scheduled and also they did not require any down payment for our rooms
so I guess they really wanted to get the confirmation if we are pushing
thru or not after all they also fixed some flowers onto the newlyweds
room for no additional cost, so it’s really going to be sad and bad for
their business if we didn’t show up right?! We think that the owners
are Christians so that explains why they are oh-so-nice.

Grace
Park Tourist Inn has a pool and offered free breakfast, free pick up
and drop off from the airport for Php 1500/night.

| Honeymoon Suite |
When
we landed to Puerto Prinsesa it was already dark, so we need to cancel
out our itinerary for the day which is the land tour. Well, we were also
starving so after surprising Cherry and Mark with their honeymoon suite
we called off a tricycle and asked for the best place where we can eat
dinner. We were recommended by Manong Driver a lot of choices but ended
up choosing the “Paluto” type restaurant near the bay. Yup, Puerto
Prinsesa has this al-fresco dining near the bay with different food
stalls and fresh catch.
We
ordered some fish, baby lobsters, squid to pack our hungry stomachs and
was only charged Php 1,100. One thing I noticed in Puerto Prinsesa is
that they are not overpriced. I mean when I bought some cigs, a single
stick is Php 3.00 same price as our well-patronized Sari-Sari Store.
After dinner, we went back to the hotel and rested until the following morning.
Early
morning, after serving breakfast, the reception called for us and told
us that the van transport for our Island Tour has arrived. We were all
excited as this is where we will truly experience how great the Island
was and it did not disappoint us. Puerto Prinsesa is really blessed with
great sea water.

We
were in the van with a couple more tourists, some are couples, while some are travelling as family (with kids). It may seemed awkward but it’s not. The host inside the van made sure that everyone was comfortable. He
threw some jokes that the rest of us responded cheerfully. We were able to
bond with the others when we were in the banca and during lunch time. The Island Tour took the whole day so Lunch is already inclusive
of the fee. Lunch was served in one of the Islands too.

| Our favorite :) Starfish Island |
We enjoyed snorkeling so much. Fish feeding and of course the historical story of each island.

Puerto
Prinsesa is one place that we can affirm how well their sea water is
well taken cared of. It was really well preserved. The town is clean,
the locals are nice and it was really a great experience not just for
Dada and I but also for the newlyweds, Mark & Cherry.
