On To Long Beach! May 22, 2007 Tuesday We woke up early enough and decided to split among ourselves. Emy was to have her day out with high school classmates while the Guerreros and I were fetched by Romy for the ride to Long Beach to meet up with Kuya Endo who prepared lunch for us. I also managed to meet up with my Grade 1 classmate Willy Ilagan! I was surprised to learn he lives just 3 blocks away from where Kuya Endo lives. Willy brought me to the school where he teaches, which is about 2 kms away, and introduced me to his fellow teachers who can hardly believe that our friendship survived 47 years!!!!! Gosh, we called ourselves friends at an age even younger than my apos today. Who would have thought we ... read more

After spending countless hours pouring over travel books in the local bookstore, we keep coming up with the same conclusion - the best islands for backpackers are the ones we have already been to! There MUST be something else out there, just waiting for us to visit, but where?... That's where you, travellers of the world, come in. We need help to find another perfect tropical paradise! As far as we see it, these are the essential ingredients for our perfect island get-away: 1) white sand beach 2) warm, clear ocean 3) good offshore snorkelling 4) reasonably priced scuba diving 5) reasonably priced accommodation (US$20/night/couple) 6) small and easy to get around (no cars) 7) a variety of beaches to choose from 8) some nightlife 9) majority of visitors are independent travellers/backpackers Here are the ... read more
