Cagayan De Oro + Camiguin = a great vacation.

Cagayan De Oro is famous because of their White Water Rafting and I highly recommend it to those with big apetite for adventure. I made the reservation here in Manila and good thing I made the right decision in choosing Kagay as our official rafting partner. They picked us up in our hotel after a heavenly lunch in a nearby restaurant, then came the road trip to the "put-in" area. We were divided into two groups and Kuya Joel was assigned as our river guide. They started with the do's and dont's of rafting, what came next was a new meaning of the word ADVENTURE. They have 24 rapids but since we took the beginners course, we were only introduced to 14. Aside from the thrill, I think what makes this experience memorable is Kuya Joel's sense of humor plus his own definition of the word fun. He keeps on telling funny stories and he even made us do crazy things during the entire course. I will never forget all our "high five" moments. We had our dinner in Joe's place, his parents prepared a delightful dinner and the best way to end the night is a bottle of wine --> thank you Joe.




Camiguin is known for their sweet lanzones. There's no direct flight to this city as of writing. We took a ferry ride from CDO port in a very comfortale Paras Sea Cat. The trip is approximately 2-3 hours so you have the time to enjoy the scenery, read a novel, access FB thru your mobile phone or my favorite activity --- to sleep. When I see a leaflet of their city map and things to do I was overwhelmed with what the city has offer. You can visit different churches, they have cold and hot spings, they have a few falls and you can do island hopping. We stayed in a bungalow at Paras Beach Resort. I find the place too modern for a city like Camiguin. You will never get bored here because they have a 2 billiard tables, 1 tabble tennis, 2 hammocks, a pool and of course -- WiFi. I never get the chance to enjoy the beach since its drizzling when we get there.

I really had a fun-filled vacation. This is the perfect escape from the stress in Manila, time to meet new people and to share with them this unforgettable experience.

It started when Flor announced that she's going home to attend a wedding, what follows is a bunch of OMDA's booking their own flight.

This is my second time in Bohol, my first experience was all about beach bumming but this time it's completely different. We had our dinner in the famous Loboc River Cruise. We are all starving and I was expecting something appetizing but we are all disappointed with the food served during the cruise. They could have controlled the number of people in one buffet because I feel like we are all fighting for the small amount of food in the table. They can also consider in changing their menus. Going there at night is something new because they've developed a Lighting project and I want to give them the credit for this creative idea.

My real intention in this trip is to visit Danao - Bohol's new adventure destination. They have activities of different categories. Going there is no joke because we were on the road for atleast 6 - hours (back and forth). We initially agreed to try out Suislide and we are about to pay the cashier we then decided to also take the famous Plunge. I was the one to go first since this is my idea and I have the heart for all types of adventure. My reaction when I was thrown in the middle of two mountains was ---- OMGosh!!! this is surely a must try. Taking Suislide after is not a good idea because all my energy and excitement was already gone. you may refer to this link regarding Danao's Adventure Park.
