Bacolod Getaway

Ahhh..Happy New year to all of us!
I was really thinking on how I am going to start the year right.
I want to do it with a Bang!
What's the best thing to do?
What else, but to TRAVEL!

First stop, Western Visayas.
Let's go first to the City of Smiles, Bacolod.

I'm very happy being able to get 4 seats in Cebu Pac's P1 fare.
This will be my kids and my husband's first plane ride.
I really want them to get used to riding planes and visiting places
as I would traveling quite often from now on.

Our flight is schedule for 4:45am. Waiting was alright. Though I know,
deep inside, my co-passengers are having a second thought about it.
Finally, it's boarding time...                                                                                                                                          


The flight was alright. We arrived in Bacolod 10 minutes early.
Since I have plan and research ahead of time for this trip,
commuting is very easy. If you know where you want to go exactly,
opt for taking the long way. Vans in the airport goes from P300 per head
to a whooping P1.5k to Bacolod City. We grab a tricycle outside the airport
and commute going to the town proper for a mere P10/head. Seeing a lot of
grasses and sugar cane makes me really feel at home.

We grab a quick bite once we set foot in town. 2 viands, 4 rice, 2 soda and 2 milo
for only a P100. We took a jeepney ride going to Bacolod City proper. From there,
we went to the minivan station all the way to Mambukal. The jeep was P7 while the 
van was P35 bucks. It was a long ride. More than an hour since Mambukal is located
at the foot of Mt. Kanlaon. The view was so refreshing. Can't wait to get to our destination.
