You don't really have to look that far to have a great vacation under the sun. Last week was one of the best getaways I ever had, and most importantly, the kids enjoyed it. We took advantage of the long weekend due to the holidays last August 20 and 21, and packed our stuff for Palawan. Once again I had to stretch my limits since I had to report to the office the night before to do a contract signing orientation for the applicants, and proceed to the airport at 4:00AM. Been there, done that, knowing that what's in store for me is worth all the stress.
Though it wasn't my 3-year old son's first time to ride a plane, this was the first when he has full knowledge of what he was riding. (On the way home he wanted all of us to pull down the shade because he was afraid to look outside due to the altitude, saying that we might fall.)
First on the agenda when we touched down was to check-in our luggage and proceed immediately with the city tour. One of the highlights was this really old plaza that used to be a camp for U.S. prisoners during the WWII era. The soldiers dug a tunnel that led to the sea, but unfortunately the Japanese found out about it and burned the U.S soldiers while they were inside the tunnel.
We then proceeded to this museum that featured a lot of vintage WWII artifacts, ranging from small tokens to an authentic U.S. military jeep.
For lunch, we ate at the famous Kalui seafood restaurant. Their vegetable tempura was superb!
And to end the night, we had our dinner at Ugong Rock Grill & Seafood Bar. (What do you expect, we hungry! And that is just day One folks)
