Budget Airlines

And to start my Travel Blog.

First on the list would be the Airlines.

In my travel history, I can say that I have tried all the local budget airlines we have.

 Cebu Pacific

 Zest Air

AirPhil Express

 Tiger Airways

Seair 

 and the only local airline I haven't tried is our flag bearer, Philippine Airlines:
PAL

And based on my experience, delayed flights happen.  NOT just because you booked the cheapest flight from the cheapest Airlines...

who say's CebuPac is always on time? I have experienced an hour delayed from my flight in HK, not to mention that is the most expensive airfare I've spent this year. (I will post my travel boo-boo on my next blogs...so watch for it!)

I have experienced my 1st delayed flight with Airphil Express going to Iloilo, it was my first time with them, and I was alone that time since my travel buddies were booked on another airline.

And my recent delayed flight is with Zest Air going to Kalibo,

it was funny because my friends got a "FIRST PRIORITY" sticker from the check-in counter as a souvenir for our 1st timer friend... 

 to find out that our flight will be the first on the list to be delayed that day. Tsk tsk

But to sum it all, I guess all flights were the same. 

So these airlines are always part of my check list from time to time to see their latest promo that I might get for my next GALA. 

See you on board!

and they call me...DORA

I consider myself a neophyte in blogging, but I was inspired by my blogger friends. (Do I need to name you all?)

  

My friends started to call me DORA, when they're starting to ask me for places and/or direction on how to get there. (as if I am a walking navigator or map)

And the name goes when they learned about my travel schedule for the year (2011).

Yes, I love to see new places.

So I made this year – my Travel Year!

And this blog will serve as my Travel Diary.

I will share the places I have explored not just this year, but I will try to include places I have been the past years and even those on my list.

I am also a budget traveler. I make sure that everything falls into budget all the time. So I will also share some tips and DIY travel guide.

I think I will enjoy blogging now as much as I enjoy traveling.

And of course, DORA is not complete without her BACKPACK and the MAP! This backpack is a birthday gift from my BFF last year. 

Meet Bootzz - My FUJIFILM HS10 cam. Dora is with Bootzz all the time, right? so I make sure I have bootzz with me when I travel.  I'm beginning to love photography as well.

And lastly.... meet Dorang Explorer! (Dora the Explorer)  sorry for the background-- this is the only pic I've got with my Backpack and Bootzz with me. (and the map is inside my backpack) hehehe
