the last frontier

this is kookie's dad's palawan adventure
a few weeks ago, my hub went to this exotic islands situated in the western border of the Philippines on a business trip. An hour's travel by plane from manila, puerto princesa city, palawan is a tropical island paradise with it's unspoiled beaches, world-class diving sites, lush virgin forest, endemic flora and fauna, ah well...on and on...

palawan is also home to one of the world's famous diving spots which is called the tubbataha reefs. the city's bays abound with magical underwater coral garden reefs, home to fascinating marine life. palawan is considered as the country's last ecological frontier and the locals take pride in it's name. the people are generally warm and friendly and makes your stay a lasting experience.

puerto princesa today has gained the recognition and honor as the country's cleanest and greenest city under the leadership of Mayor Edward S. Hagedorn.

Such a beautiful place, Sheila...Why didn't you take the adventure along with hubby? I Imagine Kookie wouldn't have been too happy about being left alone..

Tomorrow Beatie is getting all spruced up to go to the pet festival, she doesn't know it yet, but she is in for a huge bubble bath, and a long walk to the festival..Last year she took on a couple of very large dogs, she thinks she is a Doberman not a pug..:)

If I take some pics I'll email them to you..

love Carol
