Wanted: Travel Buddy (Thread 2)

[polymath2012]

^^^polymath2012, sis nakareceive ka na ng email from TF? Mukhang lahat tayo nakapagregister na. Tuloy na tuloy na 'to, yey!

Yung sa Cambodia trip namin, tinanong ko na sila kanina at mukhang matutuloy naman kami, but in case hindi sasabit talaga ako sa inyo. Haha! Tama, para hindi tayo alone sa Valentines, haha!

So excited to meet you and the other girls!

Yep sis, got the email, pero di pa ata sure na sure yun until we pay the dp, good thing pwede  magbayad nung balance until Jan 30 Sige sabihan mo lang ako if di kayo tuloy sa SR.

Requirement ba na may trekking experience for this Mt Pulag adventure? I am interested to join too

Join ka na rin, this will also be my first mountain climb

Kahit madali yung Ambangeg trail sa Mt. Pulag, it would still help if you're in good physical condition prior to the climb.  Siguro kahit 2 weeks of regular daily jogging, pwede na.

thanks po sa tip, now i need to prepare my body so i can be fit for the climb

[whitebishop]

^^^there are only two requirements, one is self-imposed jogging and the other is pre-climb orientation. We have a tentative date pero baka daytrip lang Dec 8(Saturday) ETD 0500 to Batangas (Gulugug Baboy) ETA Manila 2100

[monsterwil]

Naalala ko tuloy first climb ko pulag ni orientation wala hahahha. Ambangeg-akikki trail kami. kaya naman after pulag hindi na ko matahimik na ma-akyat naman ang mt. apo. Kaya nung nalaman ko sa isang site na tuloy akyat nila ng apo next year april eh sama agad kahit isa di ko pa kilala mga kasama ko. hahahha at dahil dun naghahanap ako ngayon ng makakasama hahhaha. and so im inviting you mga girls, taralets after pulag nio hahhaha

One more thing about Pulag:

It's the highest mountain in Luzon.  The air is a lot thinner up there so if it's your first time there, you might suffer altitude sickness.  It's nothing really serious and you'll be able to adjust after a while.  But the experience of palpitating and feeling exhausted after only taking a few steps might be shocking for some first-timers.  (As it did for me).

There is nothing wrong with you.  It's normal.  Don't worry, your body will adjust. 

[whitebishop]

^also make sure you have enough of 2 things, hydration and warm clothing.  it will be cold in there, i remember having to stand under a small spot of sunlight that got through the thick fog and trees and pinag aagawan pa namin just to be warm. lol

always ingat sa hypothermia, dehydration and of course injuries - mas mahirap ang descent kasi ascend.

thanks whitebishop, good thing i have lots of winter clothing, na-experience ko na ang -7deg sa europe so im sure i'll be fine, i just have to bring lots of water & do some exercises para di mabigla ang katawan sa paglalakad

[iwannabeasupermodel]

Wow sis ang dami mong trips

[karxn]

^Haha, sa January palang naman ako magsisimulang magpaka-traveller. So parang bumabawi lang for all the lost time. Tara!

[polymath2012]

^^ same here, this year lang din ako di nakapag-travel so bawi din next year

Gusto ko sana jumoin kaso di ko sure if makakauwi ako by January

[karxn]

^Just let me know, hah. 3rd or 4th week pa naman yun, baka makahabol ka. Haha!
At least we'll be starting 2013 with more travels. Ka-excite lang talaga!

[polymath2012]

^^i will try kasi mukhang super exciting yang trip nyo gusto ko ring bumalik ng vigan, maulan kasi nung huling punta ko dun :/

Di na pala kayo tuloy sa SR nyan?

[karxn]

^Sige, sana makahabol ka.
Yup, wala kasing promo for our travel dates, so better daw na ipostpone nalang muna to a later date. Haha!

Hello sis!  Kung travel kayo ng week of Jan. 28, I might join you guys.  Just PM me the itinerary.

Thanks. 

[karxn]

^Hello curandera! Sure, I'll be asking my officemate to finalize, so we could inform you. Thanks!

[polymath2012]

SURE!! game uli ako, hehe...when in april sis?

april 6 to 10 ang schedule sis, sure ka na? para masabihan ko [textspeak!] kausap ko kasi need p yata nila ng 2pax.

Wala pakong sked sa April so pwede ako makisabit, sa travel agency din ba yung trek nyo sis?

^Hello curandera! Sure, I'll be asking my officemate to finalize, so we could inform you. Thanks!

Hi sis! Baka makauwi ako by 3rd week of January, baka pwede din ako maka-sabit sa inyo, let me know sis yung final dates para mai-adjust ko flight ko

[monsterwil]

Wala pakong sked sa April so pwede ako makisabit, sa travel agency din ba yung trek nyo sis?

hi sis, as per sir noel's response to my query, he quote
"Sige, kung sure na kayong tatlo na sasama sa amin, we will not entertain joiners anymore.

Our flight on April 6 is leaving at 10 am from Clark, while our return flight on April 10 is leaving Davao at 12:30 pm. Kaya lang, Air Asia has benn cutting flights, so baka malipat ng April 5 ang outgoing flight namin. Anyway, we can just meet in Davao if you're coming from Manila.

Target itinerary is Kapatagan-Kidapawan trail for 3 days. But another guide is offering a Kidapawan-Kidapawan trail to save on 1 exit fee, with side trip to the boulders, para lang makita ang fumarole."

[shegothim]

wow aakyat ka na ng apo sis? ang bongga mo.
