Surprise!!!

Cebu Pacific Air had a PISO seat sale last week. I tried to book for our wedding anniversary trip and luckily there’s promo fare available on the dates that I chose. I just had to cancel the booking because it’s too expensive for a PISO fare, IMO. The base fare is just four pesos but the add-on charges including the fuel charge is more than three thousand pesos! I’ll have to experiment on this one so I would know if getting we could really save from getting that PISO fare instead of other seat sale.

Since we are planning to go to Siquijor Island on May for Ace’ grandma’s birthday, Ace said we have to pass on this seat sale and prepare for our trip on May. So forget about Cebu Pacific Air’s Piso seat sale and move on!LOL. Later that night, there was an email coming from Anne (Ace’ sister) with the subject SURPRISE!. I immediately opened the email and was so surprised to see a copy of a round trip itinerary from Davao to Cebu. Anne and Ian booked and paid for us! Weee!

So surprised to receive this copy of itinerary from Cebu Pacific courtesy of Ian & Anne. So we'll be saying hello Cebu-Dumaguete-Siquijor on July! Thank God for super generous sis & bro!

It was indeed a surprise because they didn’t asked us of our preferred travel dates. It doesn’t matter anyway because we can bring our work anywhere as long as there is an internet connection. In half a year we will be saying hello Cebu City, Dumaguete City, and Siquijor Island! Yay! So excited! Thank God for super generous bro and sis!

Fort Lee: The place to be!

Housing in Fort Lee VA is also a perfect place to unwind at. With choices between fully furnished condos or houses, it truly would be great to take your family on an escapade to the south, enjoying the vast fields, discover Virginia’s rich historical sites, and taking your children to museums, parks and mansions that were so much a part of American history. These houses have yards to play and have cookouts at, and at the same time enjoy a peaceful and quiet neighborhood, a perfect contrast to the fast-paced city life. These could also serve as temporary homes for you for 30 days or more, if you have to stay in Virginia for longer periods of time. This is something that would be overly expensive if you made a stay this long in hotels.
