7 Advantages of Taking a Cruise vs Doing a Land Tour


Going on a honeymoon and planning your dream getaway? There are a lot of choices out there but the popular ones are -- joining a guided coach tour, taking a cruise, or doing it on your own. It all depends on what you want and your traveling style. For those who wants to be in control, joining guided tours is definitely not for you. If you want to go to as much places as possible in a short period of time, go for guided coach tours. For those who want it to be a bit relaxing, on your own or cruising might be a good option for you. But, as I've heard a lot of people say, cruising is not for everyone. They say that those who enjoy cruises more are the oldies who have a hard time doing intensive pack-and-go land tours like the ones provided by Trafalgar or Cosmos. Honestly, I don't mind doing any of those. It's both fun in their own ways but here are 7 advantages of taking a cruise.

Club Paradise Palawan Review: Why they are the best hotel in Coron (With Hi-Res Photos)

It was a vacation more than 12 months in the waiting. Yes, we’ve waited for a long time to have a nice quick break after my wife gave birth to our son, Alex. Little did we know that giving the child the name ‘Alex’ also means we have to be ready as most of the Alex’s we know in the family are... let’s leave it at that. He’s a very energetic dude. So energetic that a nuclear power plant producing thousands of megawatts of power will be put to shame. This is why we badly want a quick vacation. (Disclaimer: We are not complaining. We are happy that he is a very energetic happy boy. Just putting to context how excited we are for a quick vacation).

19th Philippine International Hot Air Balloon Fiesta Information

Like the yearly pyrolympics show, this is one of the annual events that people look forward to. It's known to be a weekend for everything that flies! I remember going here a few years back and it was packed! Better go there early as a lot of people will surely be there as well.

Happening on February 12 to 15, 2015 at the Philippine Air Force ADAC Hangar in Clark Freeport Zone in Pampanga, 4 full days of flying activities await spectators. From aerobatic exhibitions to sky diving to para gliding and even aviation formation, it's something worth your time and travel.

Highlight of this event is of course, the hot air balloons. This year, a total of 32 hot air balloons coming from all over the world will be joining the 19th Philippine International Hot Air Balloon Fiesta. From the yearly seen Old MacDonald farm to the cute Maximus the Beagle dog, you won't run out of interesting things to see. They fly out early in the morning around 6am and pump the balloons up again late in the afternoon (around 5:45).

It won't be called a 'fiesta' if the mood on the ground would be boring. There are car drifting exhibitions, there's a flea market called "fly" market,  OPM bands playing, a mini zoo, and on the 3rd night (which is Valentines Day), a spectacular display of fireworks!

Entrance ticket is affordable at only P300 each. Ticket funds will go to PIHABF foundation scholarship fund granting scholarship to deserving underprivileged students pursuing a career in aviation. It's two birds in one stone! You enjoy and you help!

Tickets are available at Ticketnet outlets, the venue itself and the Fiesta's official website.

For more info, visit:
www.philballoonfest.net or its official Facebook page, at http://www.facebook.com/pihabf

Check out the schedule below for February 12, February 13, February 14, and February 15 of the 19th Philippine International Hot Air Balloon Fiesta this 2015.

Balesin Island Club: Balesin Spa and Sports Center

The Balesin Spa:
For those who wanted to experience wellness and relaxation, The Balesin Spa is your perfect destination especially when you need to rejuvenate after a stressful work-week. They actually have a wide array of services that will definitely meet your specific needs. 

Spa entrance

You can conclude what the theme color of the spa is - White



Sports Center:
They have a separate building that houses their sports activities within the island. Other than the billiards that are located in the Balesin clubhouse, you could also head to the sports center to burn those extra calories or just have fun with your family. Here are some of the activities that they offer in the indoor area:

By the entrance of sports center

Wood accents made by Ifugaos

Badminton - courts:free of charge,
racket: free of charge,
shuttlecock: old-free; new-with charge

Basketball court/Badminton court with wall-climbing by the far-end. 
Too bad we weren't able to try their wall climbing as one of their requirements were closed shoes and all of us only brought slippers with us. Maybe on our next visit we could do this activity. Wall climbing is safe as there will be a guide who will be helping you out on your climb.

Tennis Area by the far-end of the sports center
We weren't able to take a photo but there is a gym at the second floor of the sports center and it oversees these courts down below. What I loved about this place is the service that they offer to the guests as each one of us was given a towel each and glasses of water even though our badminton session was free of charge.

There are also outdoor activities that were available, too bad we weren't able to take photos but these activities include basketball courts, tennis court, golf, archery. You could also borrow mountain bikes so you could easily navigate your way to the different parts of the island without waiting for golf cars.
