Road trip

One of the many plans that I have is to travel with my family for a vacation.  We haven’t experienced spending a day or two outside Metro Manila. It has always been our dream to have a vacation somewhere in Tagaytay or Baguio. But the only thing that hinder us from doing so is that we don’t have a car and hubby is not sold on the idea of long-distance commuting. He said its convenient to travel long distance if we have our own car to use. My husband used to worry about our kids’ safety when we travel by bus or even taxi when they were babies. We also experienced the hassle of commuting while carrying bags full of baby stuff such as bottles, nappies and similar items (I’m just glad those years were over).  🙂

Our kids are bigger now and can tolerate long distance travel so maybe a vacation is in the offing (fingers crossed). I just wish we have an rv motorhomes to take us to our dream destination. 😀

I’ve seen an rv motorhomes on the Internet. It’s perfect for out-of-town travel. I dream of owning a vehicle like that because it’s very convenient to use. It is fully furnished just like a small house. You can move freely in it, sleep and eat whenever you want to. I’ve seen a couple of actresses brandishing their newly purchased motorhomes on TV. If I own a van like that, I can always plan a weekend getaway for my family, just a breather for the busy week. 🙂

Tourisme Paris

family

How would you like to travel in Paris all expenses paid? If I win a fortune, we would definitely visit Paris. It will be a dream tourisme paris for my family. After the sightseeing tour, we would avail the best relaxing cure thalasso (spa) in France. And the rest of the evening will be spent in a hotel rome… Haist, wish I may, wish I might…let me win the lottery tonight.  hihi

The North Face 100 conquers Baguio-Benguet

It’s all systems go for The North Face 100, the Asia’s 1st Trail Running Ultra Marathon series in Baguio-Benguet this weekend.

The two-day event (April 24 – 25) will put to the test the endurance of elite athletes, mountain climbers, outdoor buff and those who simply love an active lifestyle who will conquer the difficult paths, knife ridges and the treacherous mountain trails of the country’s summer capital.

The exciting event will surely be a crowd drawer as participants will vie for the 11K, 22K, 50K or 100K solo races. It will be the longest and most thrilling test of the athletes’ staying power as they pass through the unexplored path of Camp John Hay, the PMA grounds, Mt. Sto.Tomas and Tuba with a fitting finish in the iconic Burnham Park.

I think one of our friends Marce Fedhz (this I have to verify with Marce Pehpot) and her partner will join the tnf 100 on Sunday. We may not be there to root for the couple, but we’ll (the Marces and their other friends) be praying for their triumph. Break a leg Fedhz and Mike! Cash prizes and medals await the lucky winners. I wish Fedhz and Mike will bring home the bacon. 🙂

The 22K starts at Lake Drive Burnham Park, 5.30am; April 25 2010. The 11K starts at Camp John Hay Old Gate (Fronting Nevada Square) 6am; April 25 2010.

This is a marked course. Total Elevation gain: TBA. Highest point: 2,062 masl.
