♥'n Surfing at San Juan Surf

San Juan Surf - Urbiztondo, La Union

 June 30, 2012

We (Regine & I) usually attend the pinakaaabangang event every yr ~The Philippine Travel Mart~ nagstart ako to attend this event back in my college days, we need to participate & attend and to make a report on dis so no choice gora lang dpt..  ima tourism student btw =) and so nahook na kami to attend dis event every yr masaya nmn kc magcollect ng brochures ng ibat ibang places and also mga promo ng mga travel agencies, resorts, hotels, airlines etc...

Usually kpg nagaattend kami for this event sandamakmak na papel at brochures lng nauuwi nmen plus mga freebies (ballpens, ecobags etc.) This time nakita nmen ulit c Thunderbird Resorts, Poropoint.. Since nung 2010 pa want ni Regine pmnta sa thunderbird but mas mahal ung promo nun kaya nde sha bumili  but this time may promo ang thunderbird ulit mas mura compare before. Now all you nid is to pay for the reservation fee which is P500 and ileless nila un sa discounted rate ng acccom.

then dito ngstart ang aming trip to, La uNion ♥♥
