This was such a fun vacation for our family! At first, I was really excited since this is like the first vacation we had that is like a guessing game. No one knew when to leave, what we'll ride, where we'll stay or go! haha! Only 2-3 people know..We even knew that we were leaving at 1 am the next day during dinner time! haha! We were just tagging along and going with the flow..
.
We were supposed to leave Bacolod City at 1 am but the van arrived at 2. We loaded the van and went off to San Carlos City after a 2 hour drive. We took the Don Salvador Benedicto route from Bacolod to San Carlos. The road was zig-zaggy and the can wast fast so most of us got queasy and nauseated. hehe! We arrived at the barge and boarded the ship. Even if we are sleepy, photos can still be managed. haha! Camera whores!
.
We arrived at around 7 am in Toledo City. We had breakfast at Jolibee then off we went to the hotel in Cebu City. I cannot even remember the hotel's name! All I know that it has a "Crown" on it since we were talking about how everything has a "Crown" on it..haha! queen city of the south thingy... I just took a quick bath then we were off to a buffet lunch in The Majestic.
.
Had buffet lunch, Went to Ayala Mall, but we felt like we were fighting our eyelids open! I feel like my steps are flying because of drowsiness! We went back to the hotel to recharge. At around 6 pm, we went to Tops (the highest point in Cebu where you can see the city..It's the first time that I watched a fireworks display while looking down!) We also tried the Skywalk Adventure that night in Crown Regency Hotel and Towers after we had dinner at a dimsum resto. We walked around at the edge of the tower (the highest in the country with 40 stories). It was fun but bitin! I want one more round! I was with Micay, Flip and JJ.
.
We did not get to ride the edge coaster.. =( The price was extortion! It was quite expensive and "commercialized" for lack of a better term. The fee included an entrance fee + the ride + snacks. We also paid for these photos to be burned in a CD. If only we knew, we would have gotten more shots for the photos.
.
Nevertheless, we all had exhilarating fun!!
.
Judging from the photos, you'll see who's the fearless and the scared-y cat..haha!
.
We went island hopping in Mactan the next day..We had a good laugh when Papa Lo demonstrated the "proper use" of the life vest! hahaha! He wore it upside down! haha!Not to mention the lost slippers replaced by "Gladiators"..haha!
.
"Tabuni imo dulunggan" (while holding his nose) hahaha!
.
"Ang Yate ni Yoyoy Wowowee!"
.
After the island hopping (I remembered someone having an upset stomach everytime we island hop...hehehe!), we took at dip at the clubhouse pool at Tita Nida's subdivision. She was our guide when we were in Cebu. We didn't get to swim in the island so we took a swim in the pool instead. After a quick meal, off we went to the barge again for our trip to Bohol.
The ship, a very init and gin-ot and maarte one, left at 12 midnight. We were itching to go down to the van ang sleep there after the ticket inspection. We were like sardines, all 15 of us, in the van! haha! At around 3-4 am, we made a stop and all I can hear were laughs and complains that they are hungry and want some coffee. They can't even close the door of the van for like 5 attempts! hahaha! Gutom nga Toyota! As for me?! I just took 1 Pan de Sal and ate it while my eyes were shut! haha! Then, I'm alsleep again. I can even feel that my mouth is open while sleeping! I think we got stage 1 pressure sores!
.
The next opening of my eyes, I can hear them asking for directions to Cebu Diving Resort. Then later on, they realized that it was supposed to be Bohol Divers Resort! hahaha! How can you find something that isn't there?! hahaha! Upon arriving at the Resort, I took a quick nap before the tour.
.
We went on a tour that morning. We stopped by the monument of the blood compact in Bohol. We also visited their old church. We were wearing sleeveless shirts so we were not allowed to go in without a shawl to cover our shoulders. I was even wearing shorts and slippers. Yikes! But it was nice to know that they are still strict with church attire.
.
After which, we visited Prony, a humongous python. We were very much entertained with Mari Mar who gave us a short background of Prony and sang to us! haha! View the video here. She looks like Michael V. hehe!
.
Then off we go to the River Boat ride. We ate our buffet lunch there. It was like a floating restaurant. In the afternoon, we went to the Chocolate Hills and see the tarsiers. Too bad, they don't allow handling of the tarsiers anymore.. =(
.
That night, we took a swim in the resort pool before eating dinner. We were supposed to eat at the restaurant but Tito Vic called us up that we will be eating outside. We ate at a barbeque sidewalk resto. I has one of the funniest dinners ever courtesy of Kobe! haha! We interviewed him about school stuffs and as Bill Cosby says, "kids say the darnest things!"..haha! 11+11=? Kobe: 23, Micay: 21! hahahaha!
.
On the fourth day, we went home from Bohol to Bacolod via Dumaguete.
View our Bohol pics here.

.
Took a picture on the SPC sisters landmark. So much for the Alma Mater stuff..hahaha! Had pizza and pasta at Why Not? The food was delish!
.
We felt like our stomachs were about to explode as we return to the van. It was a super bumpy and bouncy ride home. It felt like the whole Negros were on rocks! We arrived home at 11 pm, with tired minds, tired souls, we slept.
.
This is my first vacation since I was a kid that I am with my extended family. It was super duper fun! Nothing beats travelling with your family that you will definitely know that you will have the greatest time! Looking forward for more vacations! Go Ma-oy Toyota! haha!
