What better way to get off the beaten path than to go even more off the beaten path to find waterfalls in Palawan? We were in Langogan on the island of Palawan in the Philippines and the owner of our accommodations, our host, had suggested a day trip to “the waterfalls.” Unless you know how […]
Because some of us need to recover from the holidays. The weather outside may be frightful…but isn’t that all the more reason to consider a wintertime getaway to a sunnier locale? Prices at these beautiful places may not be at rock-bottom (you’re not the only one running from the cold); but if you’re coming from the U.S., Europe, […]
Ok. We know that if you’re hauling your booty all the way to El Nido, Palawan, you’re probably not coming for only 72 hours (heck, Justin and I stayed for more than a week and we still didn’t have a chance to get tired of the place). But on the off-chance that El Nido is just […]
You see that face? That, my friends, is the face I make (apparently) when I have been shipwrecked–or rather, canoe-wrecked in the middle of a river in the tiny Filipino village of Langogan (while this crab fisherman watches).

So you’ve gone subterranean with the Underground River Tour and gained your traveler’s ten visiting all of the city’s best restaurants…is there anything else worth doing in Puerto Princesa, Palawan? Well, of course there is! Forget about the official city tour—Justin and I want to take you […]
Why are Mornings so Early? (and other questions I’d like to know on our Palawan Underground River Tour day) I don’t like early mornings. And I particularly loathe them when I cannot get a cup of actual coffee (I’m sorry, 3-in-1 powered “coffee” does not cut it) into the ol’ system to numb the pain […]
As some of you may already know, I love good food. Mexican fare, Italian cuisine, All-American grub, Filipino victuals…I love it all. Looking to bribe me make me very happy? Simple. Feed me! All this to say, wherever in the world we visit, my mission (in my mind) is quite clear: find the best spots […]
“Welcome to El Nido! When are you going island hopping?” Island hopping and El Nido have become as linked in the minds of visitors to Palawan island in the Philippines as bacon and eggs. (Or, here in the Philippines, adobo and rice.) Call us perverse (go on…we dare ya!) but whenever any activity becomes established […]
