Hopefully everything will go according to plan :biggrin:

I've noticed many business websites in the Phils either well out of date or offline altogether and that includes major ferry companies like Negros Navigation whose site no longer exists and hasn't done since September.

As for Siquijor, Dondeezco has had bad reviews lately. Villa Marmarine is the one we're trying to book with as they've got excellent reviews although getting in contact with them is proving a chore.

Ideally, we're looking for a decent place with a swimming pool and TV in the room for around £25 or less. Know any that haven't been mentioned Tawi?

[Ako Si Jamie]

Only five more weeks to go. :waver:

Everything done apart from getting malaria tablets and getting a fake bake. :icon_lol:

[grahamw48]

I'm still not jealous. :bigcry:

Fake bake...great idea. Me too next time, if before summer.
Last time I looked like a bleedin ghost that had just climbed out of a grave....still do. :cwm3:

[Ako Si Jamie]

Yup. I always get a bit of a tan now before I go abroad. Burnt feet :bigcry: in Greece some years back made up my mind about that.
