LOCAL TRIP EXPENSES

[zhanne8]

sorry, out of topic. tanong ko lang if the El Nido package in Metrodeal is a good deal na? Around 5k+ 3days 2 nights? Anyone can answer ba? 1st timer, so hesitant if good deal na ba sya. Thanks in advance!

[unwantedP]

^sis may el nido thread dito. but to answer your question, cheaper pa din if DIY, and super bitin ang 3d2n to break it down:

required 4 persons sa voucher:
Lodging: makakahanap ka in el nido na similar in what they offer for 1k/night * 2nights / 4pax = Php 500
RT Airfare: around 1700/pax in AirAsia
Tour A lang yan usually: Php 600/pax
Total: around Php 2800

[zhanne8]

Puerto Prinsesa, Palawan (September 14-16)

Airfare (EPIC FAIL ito!!!) - 1375 RT Ticket from Manila, zero fare promo of Tiger Airways pero umabot sa 1k+ kaya ko sanang paabutin ito ng around 700 lang without the add ons kaya lang...nangyari na eh. hays. TAPOS... dahil fail ang pagbobook ko...maling date pala yung pabalik so i bought PAL ticket on the spot para lang makauwi na. PAL ticket costs 1800 + 100 terminal fee. IN SHORT... kayang umabot ng airfare as low as 700. epic fail lang talaga ako. haha.
Tours (Honda Bay and UGR) + Accomodation (Purple Fountain Inn) - 3900/pax c/o sis La Tiara
DIY City Tour - 400/trike c/o Kuia Dennis
Dinner - 1400 (Ka Lui) + 1000 (Kinabuch)
Pasalubong - 2000+

Sulit ang mga tours and accommodation namin (5 kami) tapos may nanlibre pa sa unang dinner and for the pasalubong, hoarder ata ako eh kaya okay lang yung nagastos ko doon. nadale lang talaga ako sa airfare. haha.

PERO SUPER SULIT AND SUPER ENJOY NAMAN!

We were supposed to do an inland tour to Nacpan, too. But due to an upset stomach, our plans for our 2nd day was canceled. Good thing Ms. Nerissa of Northern Hope was open to cancel our trike reservation, too.

[pretty_B]

Davao (Sep2014) and  Bohol (Feb2015) around 7,300 with airfare.

Tips:
*scout for piso airfare -- usually around 1300 (i know, its not the cheapest fare)
*travel by group (4+ pax)
*avail package tours (less hassle in terms of transpo, controlled budget imo) -- let's say 4k (depending on your number)
*extra money allowance (for souvenirs, food, etc) --  up to 2-3K only. haha!
