<description><![CDATA[ Is it possible to sail cheaply (not on cruisers or freights unless they are cheap offers) overland / overseas to the Philippines from either Cambodia, Laos or Vietnam?  Are there any ferry networks?
I've been unable to find any such transport.  I'm trying to travel without flying and spending astronomical prices on ships. ]]></description>

<title>5 Days In The Phillipines?</title>

<description><![CDATA[ Hi there,

I will be visa running to the Philipines in Mar. for 5 days and have no idea what to do when I arrive.

Do any of you denizens recommend any places located within about a 150 km radius of Clark International Airport?

My budget is extremely modest, so locations with budget  accommodation is preferable; places without hordes of backpackers would also be a bonus.

Many thanks!

<description><![CDATA[ I have booked myself a 77-day holiday in Thailand which I am thinking of breaking with a 3-week stay in the Phillipines. I have had a look at a cheap flights website and found I can get a return from Bangkok to Manila for AU$468. Does anyone know if there would be a cheaper way? This seems pretty good to me but if I could get a better price it would be appreciated. Also, I've never been to the Phillipines. Apart from the local food, always a very important part of any holiday I take, is there anywhere you would recommend? ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ This blog mentioned this hostel that is smack dab in the historic district of Intramuros.

To ask more questions the company website is

This hostel is located reasonably close to the Ninoy Aquino airport, probably 30-40 minutes by cab. The more interesting places to eat will be in  Chinatown  which is a short walk/jeepney ride away. ]]></description>

<title>Philippines With Children For 1 Week</title>
<link>http://www.travelfish.org/board/post/philippines/20659_Philippines-with-children-for-1-week/0</link>
<pubDate>Sun, 06 Jan 2013 12:48:08 +0000</pubDate>
<description><![CDATA[ Hi,

We want to take a family trip to the Philippines (via Singapore) in early June (2nd or 3rd) for about a week.

The kids will be 6 and 8, and we would like a beach holiday that is a quiet spot with good swimming and snorkelling.

An area with some local amenities such as shops and restaurants would be good so that we don't get stuck at the hotel.

We would like easy transport in and out (rather than a 6-8 hr journey one way).

Budget-wise we are looking at budget-middle of the road.

many thanks for any ideas! ]]></description>

<title>El Nido - Coron OK Without Hotel Reservation</title>

<description><![CDATA[ We will travel during the holidays (high season) Dec 23 - Jan 1 and have no hotel reservations. Is it a problem or should we easily find rooms/cottages ?
Also we plan to fly out of Coron the same day as our international flight. Is that an issue (delayed planes ?) Should we have to worry ?
Or should we plan on flying out of Puerto Princesa instead (and travel south instead of north) ?
Thanks for any input...

<title>6- Wk Itinerary In Philippines</title>
<link>http://www.travelfish.org/board/post/philippines/20043_6--wk-Itinerary-in-Philippines/0</link>
<pubDate>Fri, 26 Oct 2012 06:48:09 +0000</pubDate>
<description><![CDATA[ I am backpacking for 6 months in SE Asia, and am interested in spending a total of 6 weeks in Philippines.
I am thinking about spending 3 weeks in Palawan/Coron/El Nido, and the next 3 weeks in Cebu/Bohol/Malapascua.

I love outdoors, particularly scuba diving and anything to do with the ocean and water 
I am not too interested in city/night life. I am looking forward to spending relaxed, low-key time and meeting locals and other travelers.

I am wondering if 3 weeks in those areas are sufficient, or too much/little?
Do you have suggestions as to how much more time I should spend at one place over another?

Thanks in advance for your feedback! ]]></description>
