A Great Year to All

First post for 2009... and although it's already February, belated happy Chinese new year to all! Haven't been able to write in here for some time now, you know how it is during busy season. It's, well, beeezy.

Let's start with great good news:

• Cebu Pac continues to wow us all with low-fare promos, including free tax and insurance fares. The site's advise is to book flights on Tuesdays and Wednesdays for the best low-fare flights. Just keep searching and you'll eventually find a long weekend and promo fare match that will fit your schedule.
• PAL is offering the half-miles promo for Mabuhay Miles members, where you can book flights (including international ones) using your miles but at half the miles. You can reserve up to February 5, 2009.

While surfing the net recently, I also came upon this picture taken at Quezon City, Philippines that was featured in National Geographic's Intelligent Travel Blog. It's beautiful and colorful and brings back great memories of markets and Wednesday market days. It's time we appreciate local color. Wish you all a great year ahead!

I am always on the lookout for great travel pictures that convey a sense of local life and color. What other sites do you know that feature similar styles as the IT blog referred to above? Or is the site that you're running has features like these? Please ping me if you do.
