Travel, o how I want to travel only that I don’t have the luxury to fulfill my dreams and put an elusive check on my bucket list. I have never set foot in any place outside Metro Manila for the last five years. But something is bound to happen. A distant cousin has sent an invitation to nashville for a possible work opportunity. If the offer can wait until I have all my papers processed then one of my dreams will soon be realized.

Despite being a stay-at-home mom for the longest time, I still keep a mental list of the places that I still want to visit while I’m still able and fit to travel.
The places in my travel bucket list include Baguio, Benguet, Vigan, Batanes, Tagaytay, Cebu, and General Santos City.
I’ve been to Baguio, Cebu, and Tagaytay City several years ago. But those visits were related to work. I want my next visit to be for relaxation purposes.
Trips to these places will require a large budget although I can always avail discounted travel package or seat sale from airlines months in advance.
I wish I can also avail discounted DBX ZonePro 1261m when I check on the next seat sale this week.

We were finally able to use the complimentary tickets from Ocean Park courtesy of PJI. The tickets are limited to Oceanarium visit. But we’re fine with it because they’re free. 🙂
Just before we entered the building, I’ve got a little reminder from my daughter to limit taking pictures inside the Oceanarium as I might not enjoy the view. But I couldn’t help it. It’s not everyday that we get to see those beautiful marine creatures.
We went further to see the aquarium tunnel where we had a full view of various species of fishes in all shapes and sizes. We were awed by the sight of stingrays that swim above our heads and at the sides. We even had photos of them at the background. They are truly a wonderful God’s creation.
We stayed for a while in the area (I guess it’s the back side of the Ocean Park) where we had our first family selfie with the Manila Bay as backdrop.
We also checked out a few items at the shopping area. I bought an eco bag as souvenir. We ate dinner at North Park Noodle House (no available picture to show because we were too hungry to take one) before we head home. It was indeed another enjoyable and memorable day for the family.
Our next adventure, hopefully, will be at the Star City. Remember that we still have the ride-all-you-can tickets, still courtesy of PJI. Yay!
