Travel Through Life with Me

I remember so well way-back in Bohol, said a promise to myself that if given a chance to set foot on the Land of Promise, DAVAO I will not pass a chance to have my picture taken on that large marker , LAND OF PROMISE and climb Mt. Apo.

In November 2001 , I arrived to the Land of Promise for a vacation that turn into job hunting and finally got a job. I was able to established my career and have my own family. It's been almost 9 years since I reside here in Davao City but that little promise of mine have yet to be fulfilled. I've been to different places, almost traveled the whole of Mindanao but I've never been to that large marker, LAND OF PROMISE.

Not until today, we decided to pay a visit to The GAP Orchard Resort . This resort is located in Green Meadows , Ma-a , Davao City. Fortunately, this time we are living just  a ten minute walk , away  from the resort. Entrance fee is Php30 and if you want to take a dip in their junior olympic size swimming pool, you will just add Php50 .

The resort has cottages and campsites , cangga ride , horseback riding , swimming pool , convention halls and World War II cave. There are also statue collections , The Conferencia ng mga Multo , The Parade of Philippine Presidents , The Parade of Greatest Heroes and Ang Parada ng mga Katutubong Tribo. 

We were planning to take a dip in the pool , but since we arrived late the pool was already closed. Too bad but not that bad since my little promise way back saw its fulfillment today. In the meantime , swimming in that Junior Olympic size pool will have to wait, anyway we are already living near in this resort. 

The whole experience was beautiful and revealing. And we also get to taste Apple Mangoes.

Father's Day is celebrated globally honoring fathers and celebrating fatherhood. It is celebrated on the 3rd Sunday of June. This is an occasion to express gratitude to our fathers for all the love and support. Though we can express our gratefulness everyday to our father but this day is made especially for them. 

So come June 20, 2010 . Father's Day. The whole family decided to celebrate the occasion at Lantaw Bukid in Km 22 Los Amigos , Tugbok, Davao City.

It was a fine Sunday morning when we left home ... perfect weather to go swimming , fishing , and boating. Fortunately , we are the first guests to arrive in the resort... and by coincidence, the caretaker of the resort was a classmate of my mother-in law... so we got service de luxe. It was close to perfect...next to nirvana , family bonding.
