If you ever come to cebu airport in the philippines
You need to stay at this hotel.
Talk about service and the whole place is awesome.
They have a free shuttle to and from the terminal.
A big plus in my book.

Unfortunately I have to head home to Colorado Friday, but in the words of Douglas MacCarthure "I shall return "

On the average a typical day here is 12 hours of sun and 12 hours of night.
You can get a lot done in a day.

16/10/2023

Well unfortunately I have to head back this Friday. "But I shall return"
In the words of MacCarthure, if you ever want to experience the real life of the philippines, this is the way to do it, and not from a 5 star hotel room.
It's been awesome to spend the time with my friends here, they said if you ever want to come visit the door is always open.
