Panglao's a good place for a first visit:xxgrinning--00xx3:I went there on my first trip a couple of years ago. Stayed at the Bohol Divers Resort which is a decent place and not too expensive. There's lots of good eateries on the beach front, and it's not as touristy or loud as Boracay. There's also plenty to do on the nearby island of Bohol. The Chocolate Hills and a cruise along the Loboc River are the main attractions:xxgrinning--00xx3:

If you havent booked your flight yet mate avoid manila like the plague and fly to cebu,there are three international entry-airports from europe,most relaxed is Davao but thats waayyyy south,cebu is easy to fly into and navigate,its also the closest airport to Leyte,your lady can meet you in Cebu without hassle,she speaks visayan the same dialect.

No worries :NoNo: ... lots of newcomers encounter the same problem in the very early stages; I did myself, on first joining. I've often wondered myself, :rolleyes: why it isn't mentioned in the Forum Rules and I'm still none the wiser. :)

[grahamw48]

Not sure, but could be that you're too good-looking.

I had similar problems until I photoshopped some ugly bits onto my pic. :)

Other than that, I have no idea.

Welcome aboard ! :D

Everything you need is in there and down the left hand side of that page.
