The idea of going to Puerto Princesa was conceived when my frequent travel buddy Karla, had that intuition that she will be leaving the country soon. We chose a convenient date for the majority of us, and before June ended, we already purchased our airline tickets. The tour happened last September 15 to 18, 2012. And yes, Karla left the country for New Zealand on the first week of October.

September 15 was just a perfect day as it coincided with the birthday of Karla's grandmom, which also served as the reunion of the entire Arrieta clan. Theme for the night's party: Cowboy!
