December Travels

For us, December has really been a great month for travelling. For the past three years, we had been blessed with the opportunity to go on a trip during this joyous month.

2005 - Camiguin Island, Mindanao Philippines
2006 - Bali, Indonesia
------ Singapore
2007 - Hong Kong
------ Macau

But each year, we do spend Christmas here. There really is no place like home on Christmas. Aside from family and friends who warm our hearts, the Christmas Spirit can really be felt here. Though times may be hard, the atmosphere is really festive. Afterall we do have the longest Yuletide season celebration.

We hope to find time to organize the photos and post them on our blog soon. Looking forward to travel again on December next year or even earlier.



What other months are the best for travels and to where?

For a trip Camiguin, summer would be the ideal time to visit the place. Also, it would be great to be there for their lanzones festival. Just forgot what month that is. In December, we were not able to partake of the various fruits that make Mindanao famous because they were not in season.

Going to Bali, i guess, summer is also a great time to enjoy their beaches. But is their summertime the same as ours here in the Philippines? Even in December, it was hot and humid out there.

A December trip to Singapore is just fine. Orchard Road is full of Christmas lights and so are the shops. And just as great is going around in HongKong in December. The cool weather makes walking about much easier. But i guess their respective sale seasons are also something to be looked forward to. When are they?
