my travel plan for next year is to bring my wife back to bohol. we got married two years ago in civil rites and took our honeymoon there.in our third wedding anniversary, we’re tying the knot again this time with God’s good grace. bohol is the heavenliest place i’ve been to and there’s nothing my wife and i would want to be than there after renewing our vows.
oh, having been a homeboy for the last 3 years (by choice) 2012 should be “the” comeback year. Davao with the wife and the daughter is already confirmed. Dinagyang is a priority in January, a summer in Romblon is on the list, and if all the stars will align, a week of palawan backpacking with friends (puerto princesa to el nido and back) is a must before the year ends.
and maybe a comeback climb to pulag.
and a heritage tour in taal, batangas.
and a road trip to laguna…
2012 would be my travel year. I’m planning to go abroad to work for my family and hopefully it will happen. Thanks! Merry Christmas =D
already booked tickets from manila-zamboanga, and zamboanga-tawitawi! no guts, no glory. =)
Travel Plans for next year? First quarter, I’ve got Coron, Puerto Galera, Bohol, Boracay! 2nd quarter, there’s El Nido and Singapore. 3rd quarter there’s General Santos and Cebu. 4th quarter, there’s also kota kinabalu!
I THINK I’m not missing out on a a trip or two or three.
But I’d most likely add in another Boracay in there, somewhere! Plus lots more weekends in Tagaytay!
Travel Plans for this 2012, Summer Outing at Boracay or may be Coron Palawan,
Travel Plans for 2012, will go to Boracay or may be Coron Palawan, then summer at Baguio or Tagaytay
Already booked a trip to Boracay on January with my boyfriend to celebrate our 5th anniversary. Then, we’ll be visiting my hometown in Iloilo on February, then the same trip again on July to celebrate my birthday there. Come September or October, we’ll be going to Singapore. It’s gonna be our first trip abroad together!

my Travel Plan for 2012
January: Batangas for fiesta and will go to china town to celebrate chinese new year (kahit hindi ako chinese :p)
February: Pangasinan for 5 days (my friend invited me to their place kasi tago daw yung place nila sa pangasinan so it’s really very probinsiya!! love it!)
March: going back to Singapore (kung kaya pa ng budget ko) bisitahin ko mga nakasama ko sa OJT way back 2007
April: don’t know kung Palawan or Boracay Ulit! (birth month ko eh) sana libre ulit parang last year! HEHEHEHE!
As being one of those who don’t really go out, I still have a lot of places that i want to go but i’ll start with revisiting my roots in the North from Tarlac to Ilocos. And maybe when i have the time, I’ll go back for another shot in Boracay. but this time for two weeks XD. Hayz, some dream huh.
My travel plans in 2012 include my favorite destinations in the Philippines Iloilo and General Santos City for food tripping, relaxing, and bonding with old and new friends.
Plus Cebu during the Sinulog season, re-discovering CDO, finding new things to enjoy in Metro Manila and nearby Luzon provinces, and basking in Bacolod for the very first time.
I also plan to explore Hong Kong and maybe… Singapore or Thailand.
I plan to not plan too much but prepare myself for the greatest learning experiences of my life. And hope to taste new delicacies, meet interesting personalities, learn more about history and culture, and enrich myself with all the beauty and wonders of our world.
My travel plans for next year would be spontaneous one. I dont really have a rigid itinerary but i really want to go to places in my vicinity that were not conquered
as simple wet market in the town proper would be as ordinary as we may think but there are hidden secrets that are waiting for them to be unleashed.
I really wanted to be part of my town, knowlegeable and passionate to appreciate its uniqueness. And by that I would be able to make you guys include my town as part of your 2012 travel plan
My travel plan for 2012 is to finally be able to set foot on Boracay or Palawan. I have jetted to surrounding Asian countries but sadly I am a tourist in our country. And so, win or lose, I vow to finally be able to explore our beautiful beaches (even though I don’t know how to swim) which both locals and foreigners are raving about.. I’m gonna find out for myself, soon enough.. A detour to Bicol to meet and greet ‘the parents’ would be on the itinerary too (crossing fingers!!!)..
My friends, Jazelle &Hassel, and I plan to go on a Cebu-Bohol trip. It’ll be a ‘reward’ trip for us because one will be graduating this April 2012 and two of us will be finishing our government internship by May. We look forward to discovering the wonders of the islands of Visayas, since we are all from Luzon. Also, we’d like to watch the dolphins in Bohol. We believe that the Philippines is very blessed with beautiful places and resources. It’ll be our first out-of-town trip in college!
I plan to travel up way north in Baguio City by 2012, and its confirmed! Me and my boyfriend were planning for it since early this year. Its a special one since we’ll make sure its in line with our 2nd anniversary. We are hoping our friends will join as too. Praying 2012 will be a prosperous year for everyone so your’s, our’s, other’s plan will come true.
What are your travels plans for 2012?
I am planning to attend for the first time the ati-atihan festival on January.
On summer, hitting my birthplace in Bicol and visiting the well known CWC.
Hope to be back in Manila for place recognition and first visit. hehe
,,My travel plans for 2012 is a one week vacation in Negros Occidental with my Mom I have never been there so I want to experience the place were my Mom become a strong and good woman and also a romantic vacation in Puerto Princesa with my fiance after our wedding because we are both very excited to visit the famous Subterranean River National Park or simply the Underground River and also some of the hot spots there.
I’m gonna start off the year with a bang!
A trip to Nueva Ecija, then CDO, Camiguin and an exhaustive trip around Northern Luzon, all in a span of a month, would be this year’s opening run.
The Second Quarter of the year would see me back at Romblon and the Bicol Regions, hopelfully I can top my last year’s 9-day jaunt through Southern Luzon.
The Visayas Region is up for the third quarter of the year. I’ll be revisiting Palawan and check out El Nido this time. Cebu and Bohol are also already marked down on my calendar.
The last quarter of the year is set up for Baguio, a year cannot pass without a visit to the City of Pines and December is the perfect time to do it. Pampanga is also set on my list, both for the yearly Candaba expedition and the Ligligan Festival (I really have to attend the Giant Lantern Festival next year)! I’m also reserving a slot for Davao.
I actually haven’t been to Mindanao so starting the year at CDO and ending it at Davao couldn’t be more perfect!
I would like to go to the “Underground River” in Puerto Princesa, Palawan during the 2nd quarter of 2012. I want to experience one of the philippines’ greatest landmark.
What are your travel plans for 2012?
I usually don’t make travel plans, whenever I find a best deal travel fare I grab it and schedule it and not compromising my working schedules, then I search for hotels and places to go which is beyond a limited budget. Anywhere here in the Philippines is good but outside of the country is much better as you interact with different races, customs and languages. Traveling and learning about the places I go is best savored with pictures to remember when you get back home.
For January 2012 We will try to Explore the Phils!. My family and I will be going to Cebu, Davao and Dipolog.
My travel plan for 2012 would be to discover the manila ocean park, explore the enchanted kingdom , visit the manila zoo and shop at Mall of asia with my five little angels.They would surely super like it.
Travel plans for 2012 is having a vacation with my family in Boracay if we have a budget. If not,Laguna na lang para mas tipid.
Before I answer the question, I tried to search the web the official holidays in the Philippines. It’s nice to learn that there are lots of long weekends and holidays for 2012 and it’s an opportunity for many of us to travel, enjoy the beauty of the Philippine archipelago and even abroad.
Don’t be a stranger in your own place.
I am from Iloilo but I haven’t yet explored the whole province. So hopefully, this year I will be able to visit the northern part of Iloilo where we can find white sand pristine beaches and enjoy hiking at the mountainous central part of the province. Also, I am planning to visit Baguio on my birthday this February and have my one(1) week forced leave at Palawan on August.
Process Passport.
I have already missed lots of opportunities and chances to travel abroad for not having a passport. I promised myself to apply and have it before the holy week and the Araw ng Kagitingan.( It’s going to be a very long weekend; April 5-9).
Seat Sale.
Hopefully, I can avail seat sales offered by airline companies. (more, please!)
GF.
On 2012, I will have a girlfriend to travel with.
Mine is just simple: I just want to treat my mom and sis to a 3-day city tour to Zamboanga City next year, just to prove that Zamboanga City is not a dangerous place for tourist. And I’m excited for that.
i just want to have a vacation trip to NUeva Vizcaya to visit my mom and my family simply as that
Ang travel plan ko ay pumunta kami ng family ko sa dumaguete mag enjoy sa beach, bisitahin yung mga kamag anak namin & my nephew.

I had been into beautiful places in the Philippines and was afraid to try traveling abroad.
But 2012, I have this strong will to explore other nations’ wonderful spots and my first stop would be Italy.
I will be doing the local and abroad travel alternately because I cannot miss visiting other great places in our country.
And while I am on travel, I need a reliable broadband internet service whenever I go, just like SunBro can provide.

I’ve been planning to go to Batanes for ages past but up until now I still haven’t been there. So this 2012, I hope to finally visit this gem of a destination up in the north! My plan is to spend at least two weeks exploring the island and experiencing the culture. No. 2 and 3 in my priority list are Vigan and Siquijor. I want to visit Vigan for its rich historic heritage and Siquijor for its famed mystic appeal. I really hope I get to visit all three places this coming 2012!
my travel plan for 2012 is to visit my husband in dubai.

My travel plans for 2012 is to bring my parents to Indonesia. I have already booked our tickets ahead of time and will be looking forward to have a bird’s eye view of Jakarta since our trip will only take a few days. Since we’ve traveled to a couple of places, I’ll take time to share a few travel tips I’ve learned along the way.
* Book your trip ahead of time: Arrange your air tickets and schedule (Check for promo fares!)
* Make a detailed itinerary of your trip: Book hotel accommodations yourself; try browsing the net and look for hotel deals!
* Check your passport validity (applicable for regional travels)
* Make sure that you travel during dry months (stay away from the rainy season when booking for a trip!)
* Pack and travel light!
*And ultimately, ENJOY
My travel plans for 2012 is to travel again to Bohol. I know I just went there but it would be better if my family could join our clan’s family reunion. When we went there, some of my relatives weren’t able to come since it was unexpected that we’ll be visiting.
Every two years, my aunts and uncles hold a family reunion in which even my granparents’ sisters and brothers are included and not just our side. It would be better if we could attend that since we have not attended any family reunion yet. Next year will be the 3rd family reunion and we hope we could join them. It’s been a while since we met some of our relatives and a reunion is a best way to get to know each other especially to those who are not yet familiar with each other.
My travel plan for 2012 is to visit Davao and Singapore.
My travel plans for 2012 is to bring my family in Cebu. My mom is very eager to go there!
I would like to travel back to Kabayan, Benguet and climb Mt Pulag again. Our trip to that heavenly place this December (16,17, and 18 of 2011) was ruined by the winds of Typhoon Sendong. The weather went -2. It was almost like a blizzard and no one was spared..we were all casualties at top of the open camp site. Since it’s zero visibility around the place, we were not able to climb the summit. I/we will go back and finish the unfinished business!!! After that, Mt. APO in DAVAO!!!!!
Bus rides, plane rides, or any kind of rides that would take me to very far destinations really makes me dizzy despite the fact that I’ve been to a lot of places before.
For next year, my family initially planned that we spend our Summer vacation abroad, specifically in Singapore and Malaysia. However, I insisted that we tour around the Philippines first before we discover the wonderful culture of foreign lands.
Our target places are Baguio city, Palawan and Bohol. I’ve never been there and I plan to keep a diary to keep track of the wonderful places I’ve been. It’s going to be an exciting 2012 for me since we don’t usually go out of town that much, especially in the last 2 years.
I would risk the head-aching plane rides just to get to those destinations because I know that in the end, they are worth it.
I have just recently discovered your blog and I am now checking some of your posts! Thank you for putting up a blog like this so that I could have my very own guide to the different spots you’ve been to! God bless!
Years back here in GenSan, I made a promise to my mother to bring her on a trip to her hometown in Samar, in a little eastern town called Guiuan.
The first and last time she was there was one summer 30 years ago, when she took me & my siblings along for a vacation. It was a very memorable summer together exploring that historical town and her environs.
Now as growups, it would have been a good time to relive that time again with her but unfortunately, she died a few years back.
I have not forgotten my vow to her however.
Hopefully, 2012 will be the opportune time for me & my siblings to travel back to her hometown via Tacloban and revisit the places where mom toured us.
I won’t be sad that she won’t be with us anymore physically. It will still be an unforgettable happy homecoming because I am certain that our mom will surely be with us in our hearts.

2012 trips, here i COOOOME!
Did you ever feel stucked, stagnant and left out with the fun and adventures in life? I did.
I was always terrified of changes in my life. I kept myself inside my own comfort zone since i have fear of heights.
I blame it with my inability to trust myself that i am mature and capable of doing what I love and in my pursuit to happiness
This 2012, things arent gonna be the same
I set the date already March 25 I will be in Bohol coz im gonna BUNGEE JUMP!!
As Mark Twain said and I quote
“do the thing you fear the most and the death of fear is certain”
Guess what?
He’s right!
