Perfect vacation: PEARL FARM BEACH RESORT!

PROLOGUE: It's year 2010 already and it is just appropriate to move forward with the a lot of things in my life. But if i will be given a chance to look back and stay with one event in my life, I will always choose this...

Part I

Months before my birthday last 2006, i knew i will be on my very first vacation. I will go out of town and spend 4 days 3 nights in a place i have never been with someone i dearly loveD(past tense..LOL!), i am not so excited but i am looking forward of what was going to happen. It seemed that time had gone by so fast and October 2 was there. After my work, i immediately grabbed my bag and hailed for a cab heading the domestic airport. Oh boy! It was my first time, everything was unfamiliar but i kept my eyes open to these new and exciting encounters.

My flight was 0830 hrs Manila to Davao.

It was my first time to be on a plane, but i enjoyed the entire experience (including the turbulence, laughs!)

PEARL FARM BEACH RESORT here i come...

After an hour and 45 minutes the plane landed at Davao International Airport. The moment i got out of the airport, i smelled a different kind of breeze. Fresh air!
And of course since it was our first time there we took some pictures to capture the moment.

After few more minutes, we looked for a cab to bring us where we can eat since it was lunch time already. We had chicken barbecue and "sinigang na tuna belly!" It was awesome and what surprised me was the price, it was very cheap! It was back then though..laughs!

Upon reaching the Pearl Farm Wharf, a pit stop where we will be transferred by a private ferry to the PEARL FARM BEACH RESORT! We were greeted very warmly at the Marina and the lady confirmed our reservation and she hospitably ushered us to the receiving area and she gave us a tour of the entire Marina. It was pretty impressive!

Here are some of the pictures:

Just before entering the main reception area.

There were lots of trees and it was so relaxing!






Around 1:45pm, we boarded a white ferry. There was just a number of us: the two of us, there was a group which i believed was a family, one foreigner and another couple, a Japanese and a Filipina. Imagine, it was just us who will enjoy this piece of heaven. It was a bumpy boat ride that afternoon, waves were very strong but none the less the 45minute boat ride was worth it. We arrive at the resort!!!

PEARL FARM BEACH RESORT is premiere resort located in the southern part of the Philippines, Samal group of island in Davao City. This 14-hectare resort was once a pearl farm where where thousands of white-lipped oysters transported from the Sulu Sea, were cultivated for their pink, white and gold pearls. Today, it is considered as one of the prime tourist spots in Southern part of the Philippines.

So there, a brief background on the resort.

Let me tell you the rest of the vacation on my next post.
