Last October 21, Aldrin and I left for Davao to attend Raffy and Christine's wedding. Raffy is my friend since high school. From Manila, we landed in Cagayan de Oro on Wednesday to meet my family. Friday at 3am, we left CDO and headed to Davao. The bus trip was excruciating. The trip should only be 6 hours but we arrived Davao after almost 9 hours of travel. The roads leading to Davao isn't really good.
We arrived lunch time in Davao, checked in at Enrico's Apartelle. We took some rest and went to a grocery shopping after our dinner. The rest of the night was spent Aldrin teaching my friends how to play poker.

Day 2 was spent for the wedding. The ceremony was at St. Francis Assisi in the other side of Ma-a road near the Diversion Rd. By the way, Enrico's Apartelle was also in Ma-a but at the opposite side of the church near NCCC Mall. The reception was held at Sunny Point. It's just about 300 meters from the church. So near!

We ended the wedding by drinking the night away.
We woke up Saturday morning feeling excited because we're going to Samal Island!!!!Woohoo!!! Every agreed we go to Maxima Aquafun. This is my second time to visit Samal Island, by the way.
We had a not-so-long roadtrip but the time we spent on the barge was super fun!

Overall, it was a fun vacation. I would definitely love to go back to Maxima. I super enjoyed the jumps and slides.

why did you not take the flight from Manila to Davao sis para hindi ka bugbog sa biyahe?
Anyway, sulit naman ang biyahe mo, I was there in Davao last September to visit my kids but I was not able to go to Samal Island which was one of my plans.
Oh I see...your family lives in CDO:)
Glad you had tons of fun for your vacation sis! :) I haven't been to CDO nor Davao, but I hope to have a vacation there soon.
Wow! I want to try that! Davao is such a clean and beautiful place. I wish the rest of the nation can do it too. =(
Haha! Naalala ko na naman ang slide sa Maxima!
bechay: yup, my family and my friends are from CDO.
Sumi Go: sis, you should visit CDO and Davao some time. masarap dun. Everything is fresh and clean.

michi: yep, may flight cdo-davao-cdo. siyempre mas mahal yun compared sa bus. :) hehehe. wala kami budget pang plane. poorita mode.
Davao looks really nice! :) This is a bit OT, but where did you buy the green dress you wore at the wedding? I'm looking for a similar style kasi. Hehe!
Hi Ces! my friend has a suking dressmaker in Cdo. She was the one who made the dress. :)
