^Mr.Punch Sayang Mr. Punch. Lihis.. Anyway, gawin mo yung sinabi ni sis riandrew. Mas tipid sya. When I computed the rates ng mga kilalang tour agencies at yung isa na nirerecommend din dito, medyo mas mura itong sa Trike. :-) Nice kausap si Kuya Dale. For sure mabibigla yun, dami nya customers. FOr his contact number, check mo yung binigay ni sis riandrew dito sa taas ng thread.

Nice syang kausap. Ako pa nga tinatawagan ni kuya para masabi nya sa akin yung mga mapupuntahan. Syempre, kinancel ko kasi dapat ako ang tatawag at hindi sya... Bait talaga nya. ;-)

per tricycle na. tas 2 kami, so divide mo by 2 yung rate. :)
let me know kung sakto na yung computation mo.. hehe

Thanks sis!!! Nakapagcompute na ako including food naming 3 at accommodation. Swak na swak sa budget. Need ko na lang kontakin yung accommodation na nagustuhan ko kasi di talaga nagrereply sa Facebook at sa text ko...

Sis, i-push mo yan!!!! Intay intay ka lang po ng seat sale sa PAL. Medyo tiyagaan lang talaga na mag intay sa announcement. O kaya, pumunta ka po minsan sa Travel fairs natin... I heard madami din mura dun. ;-)

Thanks sis nicola_juliano... Oo, antay lang ako... more patience. Siguro naman bago kami mag 10th wedding anniversary eh mapupuntahan na namin ang Batanes. (fingers crossed)

It's ok, I know my way around Batanes.  :)  I consider it my second home.

May nagcomment sa Shanedel's at medyo luma na daw room. I am still thinking if I'll still gonna book on this place. The reason lang naman I wanna book this place kasi kita view ng sea. May recommendations kayo na mga hotels, inns, na kita ang view ng sea? Eto kasi request ng tita ko to me. Syempre, di pwede fundacion, masyado mahal. TIA!

I tried to contact Time Travel Lodge at medyo na-disappoint ako sa binigay na rate per room. The price that riandrew and pinoyadventurista.com is Php1,200. Pero when I asked them right now how much, s/he gave me Php1,400/ night. How come tumaas ang rate though June is considered as non-peak season na.... And considered na maaga ako nag-iinquire because June 2014 pa ang pagpunta namin ng Batanes. I replied him back and told him na based sa sinabi ni pinoyadventurista.com na nakapunta and nagstay lang this Feb, 2014, the price is Php1200 lang.

Nagtaas na daw ang rates, Php1400 na for time travel. Dun na lang kmi magstay compared sa Shanedel's. Medyo maingay daw kasi ang mga doors at windows kapag malakas ang hangin, di ka daw makakatulog. Ayaw ko naman ng ganun....

Slickchick, intay intay ka seat sale sa PAL. Meron yan. Tiyagaan lang. Madalas nagpopost sa FB page nila.

Fan room lang. Sa Time travel din ba yan? Bakit ganun, iba-iba ang rates. 3 pax kami e.

^i also think na mas mahal kay nicola_juliano dahil sa mas madami sila.

just came back from our 5d4n Batanes trip. mixed emotions when i saw the plane taking off and leaving the airport grounds. lahat halos ng passengers nakadungaw sa window taking their last glance at Batanes. promise babalik kame ni hubby dun! hindi lang ang sceneries ang kabalik-balik, pati mga tao at culture nila nakaka-miss!

we stayed at Marfel's Annex, new sya at under pa din kay Ate Fe Fitero. we were supposed to rent the whole house kasi 9pax kame sa group, pero meron palang 2 rooms pa na pina-rent sa iba. ok lang naman kasi halos di kame nagkikita-kita sa house saka solo travelers yung nagrent ng 2 rooms. like time traveller's lodge, may garden sa annex. there are 2 CRs, kitchen, ref, free drinking water, cable TV, wifi, at relatively malapit sa park, mga kainan at talipapa.

aside sa PAL/PALEX at SkyJet, may bagong airline from Manila to Basco, this is Air Republic. pero not sure kung kelan ang start ng operations nila. according to the locals, ilang beses na din ina-assess ng CebuPac kung paano sila makakapasok dun. under construction din ang isang side ng airport, pinapalaki nila yung ticketing office, checkin at arrival/departure areas.

Wow! Thanks sa pagkwento ayionick! Excited na ako pumunta dyan!!! Sila iya at drew, dyan sa Batanes ang honeymoon!!! Cool!!!  :-)  Tipid muna ako this summer at wala masyado lakad. :-D

Siguro nga, kaya 1,400 ang singil. Anyway, ask ko mga sisses saan kayo nakatikim ng coconut crab? Sabi kasi bihira na lang daw ito ioffer sa mga resto kasi extinct na daw ito. :-( Gusto ko sana matikman. kahit kalahati lang. hehe.

Saan kaya maganda magprenup dun? hehe. Pero feeling ko lahat maganda i-prenup. lol!!!!  Prenup kuno lang. May slr si Auntie ko so pwede kami magpakuha sa kanya. hehe.

^naku sis konti palang yang kwento ko! kung per day ko gagawin baka malunod ka! hehe!

no luck sa coconut crab ngayong winter, maybe sa april-may since summer eh meron na. although we were able to eat lobster at Octagon resto beside Batanes Seaside Lodge on our first night. 4pcs na lang ang natitira nun kaya wala na naabutan yung ibang kasama namin na dumating the ff day. yung coconut crab nakakain kame sa Pension Ivatan pala pero for our group of 9pax eh 1 lang yung crab hehe! ang madami ata sa kanila yung hipon/sugpo?

naku walang tapon dun sis! lahat ng view maganda for prenup! kahit nga sa gilid ng daan na overlooking sa dagat. 2 pairs from our group had their postnup in sabtang island, north and south batan. grabe ang pagod pero sobrang satisfied sila.

^Thanks sis! Na-excite tuloy ako lalo magprenup dun kahit kami kami lang. hehe! Ayaw ko kasi gumastos masyado sa prenup. Somewhere within metro manila na lang sana and makikiusap lang ako kay PV na i-add yung mga pictures namin na maganda naman na pwedeng prenup na din. Iba na talaga nagagawa ng mga may friends na may slr cams!  :-) Wala pa kami honeymoon ni fiance pero kapag super ganda kami sa place, baka dito na lang! :-) Oops, sorry out of topic na. Excited lang!

Thanks sa details! May nakapagsabi na sa Pension Ivatan may nagserve din ng Coconut crabs!!! Ilalagay ko yan sa to eat list! lol!

Anong ivatan dishes ang recommended mo sis?

^we were able to try Luñis (adobo), Vuñis (parang laing), Uved balls (parang vunis na ginawang mala-meatballs) kasi platter ang inorder namin sa Pension Ivatan. masarap din yung local version nila ng pancit ivatan na may sunny side up sa ibabaw kahit sa mga kainan sa kanto-kanto lang. During North Batan tour, sa Pension Ivatan ang usual kainan. Pag South Batan tour sa Vatang Grill or Marlboro Hills pwede maglunch pero sa Marlboro Hills kailangan magpa-reserve in advance kasi catered ang food nila. do not expect much sa food nila, pero kung adventurous kayo sa food these are good to try. nag-uwi kame ng ivatan longanisa, pero di pa namin na-try kainin. we weren't able to eat at bunker's cafe, pagbalik namin i-try namin talaga dun with stargazing! saka sa fundacion din!

if you will do prenup, i suggest you mix north and south batan. and kung may time at budget pa, add sabtang. during our stay there were 4 couples who did their prenup/postnup on both north and south batan.
