Tagaytay City

I had the chance to visit Tagaytay City in 2006 for a media briefing on Contraceptive Self-Reliance Strategy (CSR) conducted by the Department of Health’s Family Health Office. A handful of reporters mostly covering the health beat were chosen for the activity. We were billeted at Days Hotel where the seminar also took place.

We arrived in Tagaytay almost dinner time. We were given a chance to look for our assigned room and then freshen up before we went out to look for a restaurant to have dinner. My companions knew the popular restaurants around. We chose the one that served sumptuous seafood meals (too bad I forgot the name of the place). A friend took some photos after we have finished eating.

I share a room with a friend and we had a great time chatting before we call it a night. The following morning is the start of the seminar, but before we eat breakfast and proceed to the conference room, we take a few minutes to get some shots of Taal Volcano, the hotel and this spot at the back of the hotel.

A friend who saw us taking pictures said we could place yoga mats on the ground and have a relaxing pose there. If not for the seminar, my friend and I could have stayed longer, but the seminar will start in a few minutes and we have to proceed to the conference room…

I wish to go back to Tagaytay and take the whole family with me. It would be one exciting adventure for us. 🙂

Dream vacation

Aside from our planned visit to the museum and parks this summer, my family is also interested in visiting my husband’s parents and his siblings in General Santos City. It is located in the southern part of Mindanao and famous for fresh Tuna and its products. It’s been two decades since hubby visited the place. Even his siblings have grown old. He last saw his sister as a young girl. Now, she has teenage kids herself. How time flies. We want to spend our summer vacation there. If it is not possible this year, we might look for at family vacation packages that include affordable family vacations.

There are a lot of family vacation destinations here in Luzon. We are considering Tagaytay. I was there four or five years ago during a sponsored trip courtesy of the Department of Health. I wish my kids could have witnessed the beauty of Taal Volcano (a volcano within a lake within a volcano) that can be seen from a distance. Hubby is bent on bringing our kids to a place they’ve never been like Tagaytay. Another place that we want to spend time exploring is Subic Bay. We visited there while on my son’s field trip two months ago. This time we would want to really explore the place and experience what it’s like to see animals roaming and frolicking in the Zoobic Safari.
