Retreat at Bohol Tropics Resort

The Tri-Union Hospital Board Retreat was held at Bohol Tropics Resort in Tagbilaran City, Bohol. It was not the first retreat ever organized by the SSD-Adventist Health System but it was the first time to be held in Visayas. Hosted by HW Miller Sanitarium and Hospital, the venue was decided to be in Bohol.

We traveled from Iligan 4 pm Sunday to catch our boat that will leave at 8pm.  We just arrived on time and in awhile, the boat left.  The next day, we arrived almost 2 hours before our scheduled arrival.  So instead of 9 am departure for Tagbilaran we were able to catch the 6 am trip and we just added Php 350/head as our tickets were purchased on a promo rate.  Oh well Php 350 is better than being stuck at the pier for 4-5 hours to wait for the next trip.

The fast craft trip was breeze.  Their were no big waves.  Only a bit when we were almost at Tagbilaran.  I think at the area just after Cabilao Island.

I am not suppose to be in this trip.  But since the wife of our VPF cannot make it due to very important reasons, I went in her place. I used her tickets and hotel accommodation.  It was like - I like to go and I don't like to go but in the end I went.  One thing I cannot forget in this trip - I still have no camera.  The views were great and I just can't help clicking using my Nokia C2 phone.


 

Here are some of the pics that I want to share with Tuesday Travels:


I think the grandest hotel especially in size in town and the first hotel you can see from the pier.



The venue: second level, the Harbor View Hall



One of their 3 pools.  This part is the kiddie pool.



the stage



the hall


One of the things I looked forward to in this trip was to see what would be our accommodation like.  We did not have any idea on what would be our room because the last time I talked with the host's secretary, she said that it is the hotel that will be assigning.  So no worries on my part as I know that my bosses will have their room once we arrived.  Indeed they all have except me.  So I need a separate room and any female who got no room assignment can be with me.  The secretariat thought of letting me join one of the delegates from Palawan because they are odd in number.  In our delegation, we have the odd number, too.  So I asked  to switch places with the roommate Dr. Dela Cruz  so that Doc and I can be roommates since we  came from the same place.  Dr. Pepito was so kind to agree. :)


So here's our accommodation:



The Ambassador Garden Suite



Yeah - it's 573 :)





The room is very spacious.  The bed is big enough for a single person so one can really sleep comfortable.  Doc and I slept late during the two nights we slept there.  There were two nice spots inside the room which I was not have time to enjoy.  One is the big tub (we just did not have the time to do because sessions starts early and finishes late and when we arrived in the room, doc and i will just chat, watch tv, busy with our phones, and I also tried doing work.  So we forgot about the bath tub.


And the other place is this:



The cozy nook. :)


Though the time we spent there was very short, I still enjoyed my stay.

    Bohol is the province of my dad and I really wanted to travel there. I have heard positive feedback about the beauty of Bohol especially the clean beaches. I would also like to visit Pates ancestral house which is my relatives there.

Spring Fling in Seoul - Arriving at Yeouido Park

Image
The moment we saw this stair with cherry blossom art, I knew this is it.  I was excited to see what's out there to see.  And this is my first glimpse of the cherry blossom in a perfect spring day! I think this is a welcome stage of the festival, but I was somewhat disappointed because I expected the place to be really filled with CB trees.  The trees I can see a bit further was not enough to satisfy my imagination.  I thought ito lang... Then we were told that we have to leave now because this is not the real place.  The place is farther ahead.  The guys with Jacel walked so fast. Not really fast but their strides were bigger than ours.  Since I walked alone, not together with the other 3 ladies, I walked next to the guys. I tried to keep them in sight because I cannot imagine what would happen if I get lost in the crowd. The crowd was quite big. So much people because it was the first day or opening day of the festival. We have to walked a kilo

Surigao del Sur Escapade: Enchanted at The Enchanted River

Image
Yay after a year, it's like I am able to make a summary of our summer 2015 escapade in Surigao del Sur that covered The Enchanted River, Tinuy-an Falls, and the Britania group of Islands. I may forget some minute details but I will try to narrate what I can remember according to the pics posted here. Disclaimer : All photos used in this post are mine, unless stated otherwise . Before coming, I have heard a lot about Enchanted River.  I've seen it many times online (thanks to Google). Many times I have wished that one day, I will be able to see and feel its waters - and that one day happened in July 2015. After traveling the whole night, we arrived at HInatuan before six o'lock in the morning.  We were one of the few who were early birds. We thought we were the first but nah. Never mind though.  The important thing is that we arrived safe and sound and the drivers can take their rest and few hours wink. I feel our faces are puffy after the whole night trip b
