When Travelling, Take Pictures!

As a trying-hard-to-be a conservationist, I rant to my friends and family (to the almost utmost dismay of my unica hija) the lines "take only pictures... ". Ah, but don't let me repeat them again lest my daughter reads this and goes mad. hehehe

Anyway, I oh so love and admire people who try to make a difference even in their hobbies. Like, Kayak Philippines has recently come up with a race for novice and pros at the Hundred Islands in Pangasinan. To try to promote the sport and help the eco-tourism of the Philippines, the organizers have partnered with the Department of Tourism and Cebu Pacific, among others, to come up with a Race, Kayak Clinic, Tour of Alaminos, and a photography workshop with Master George Tapan all bundled up and costs Php 750.000. Yup, it even includes all meals, a tee shirt and fees to the race. If you want to know more about this, or would like to join the race, visit their website at http://www.kayakphilippines.ws/http%3A__kayakphilippines.ws/Kayakphilippines.ws.html.

Now, who says summer is an expensive break.

CRAZY DEAL - An Ilocos Trip with Photography Class for 6K

Is this for real? An Ilocos trip with a Photography lessons? Some people must be out of their mind!

But, it is true. There is such a trip organized by the Travel Fcctor. It includes full board, all meals served buffet style, a chartered bus that will take the participants from Manila to Ilocos and Back to Manila, and all entrance fees. As if these weren't enough, they had to throw in a photography lesson for all the days in Ilocos, a tee-shirt and travel insurance.

Crazy eh?

Anyway, the schedule is from April 4-6, 2009. For the itinerary and other details check out http://thetravelfactor.multiply.com/calendar/item/10148. Or, you may email travel.factor@gmail.com.
