For the serious backpacker, looking for travel destinations and setting up accommodations – by themselves – are part of the thrill.

The Philippines celebrated Ninoy Aquino Day just last week. This holiday most probably has a special meaning for Filipinos, which is just right, though let’s not feel as guilty if we also see it as another long weekend (August 21-23, Friday to Sunday). It’s not the last long weekend for this year 2009 Continue Reading…
We know 2010 is still 5 months away, but our fellow Jetscapers (or would you rather call members of the community as “JTB” members? suggestions are welcome) may be interested in knowing the 2010 holidays way in advance, so they could plan their vacations this early.

A typhoon, somewhere else in the world, is also called a storm, cyclone or hurricane.

Don’t get too excited. This is just an initial run to see how this site should be more helpful to travelers and tourists, both Filipinos and foreigners, whether to, within or from the Philippines (yes, my dear, we do Philippine and international tours and travel). Of course, we’re tinkering with it to check how it works.

It’s the same with revisiting a travel destination, sometimes you have this nagging feeling that something changed, but you can’t put your finger on it.
