Manila, Philippines: Possible First Destination

If you’ve been looking at my “Scratch Pad” Page you probably noticed that many of the sites and links being noted on the page are of the Philippines. It is a good possibility that Manila is going to be my first travel destination of choice for this project! The main reason being I always wanted to go back after visiting there when I was still very young; I think I was 13 years old when I visited Manila. Secondly, the total cost of the trip is very affordable, and it is a good starter travel location for the project. The total cost would be around $1,500 maybe even a little less for everything including the airline ticket, 5 day hotel stay, and a personal tour guide - with a few hundred bucks to spare for living expenses.  Once I do a little more research and have a complete itinerary planned for the trip I’ll make another post in the “Travel Journal” category.  Keep in mind, I’m also researching other destinations so Manila as a destination isn’t completely in the bag yet; it’s possible I can change my mind and select another destination while doing research.
