My friends and I were thinking where we want to go this summmer. Our choices were somewhere north. Subic? Hhhhmm.. Anawangin, possible.. Or just somewhere near Metro Manila. Maan mentioned about Loreland Beach Resort in Antipolo. Well ok... But we also thought of somewhere south of Luzon. Somewhere in Bicol. Yes! Perfect! There are so many things in store for us. Volcano, beaches, seafoods, fireflies and butanding! Ok, our next problem is how we will get there. Choices.
Rent a van. (around PhP25K for 3 days all-in).

There is Bicol Express (departs daily at 6:30 pm from Tutuban) and a newly-added services MLD (Mayon Limited Deluxe) and MLO (Mayon Limited Ordinary) which extends the train lines route from Naga, the currecnt destination, to Polangui and Ligao in Albay. MLD and MLO have the same route but difffent configurations.

Well, we thought the running time of 10 hrs and 30 minutes will be too long.
So, we will just take the plane. Fortunately, there is a promo fare at the time we were looking for a viable transportation to Legazpi. We got a two-way fare promo from Manila-Legazpi-Manila for PhP 3,357.00/pax. And running time is only 1 hr and 30 minutes. Whew! That saves a lot of time.
Ok now. We have the plane ticket, yey. I am now searching the net for our 3D/2N itinerary. Well, looks like it will be just 2D/1N because we will be leaving Legazpi early morning on our way back to Manila.
