igol ays Posted October 6, 2004 Share Posted October 6, 2004 so you've been on a 'dam ship!! :cool: half moon cay is fantastic. my trip to that place was on the oosterdam. Quote Link to comment
igol ays Posted October 6, 2004 Share Posted October 6, 2004 Next summer, the family will go on a Mexican cruise to Acapulco and Cancun. Our side trips will include visiting the ruins of the Aztecs, Toltecs, Olmecs, and Mayans. Understandably, I am beside myself with excitement. those must be on two different cruises, since acapulco is on the mexican riviera (pacific), while cancun is on the mexican carribean; (or if all on one trip, most probably have a third that would take you on a panama canal cruise).

sally bogna mathay Posted October 7, 2004 Share Posted October 7, 2004 zamboanga diary part II continued...that, at first sounds unconjugated or even genderless and archacic at times, but has, nonetheless, the force, fury and finality of Spanish. I do notice the difference between the Chavacano in Zambo and the Chavacano in Cavite, where Tagalog words are added. If you're among those who neglected the 12 units of Spanish in the university, or were satisfied by merely receiving a passign grade, and do not even know a little bit of Cebuano at that, well...too bad, because listening to Chavacano is a pleasure. The sea and its bounty In this city's public market, bangus, tilapia arenothing, usually confined to the least visible section of every fish vendors' domain. Yellow fin tuna, some the size of a small banca, blue marlin seem to be ordinary. Every other vendor sells prawns. And here, they still sell by the bunch rather than by the kilo. The curacha and lobster are both pricey but still very much affordable compared to Manila (if you can find it there at all), and very fresh. Then there are those other unique delights from the sea., in shells or in their natural form, some of them in rainbow colors. As for the fruits, banana, durian, mango and marang are sold everywhere. In an alley near the port, and up to the main entrance, the wall of soft yellow glows with the rays of the sun. Rise early and take a walk in the market. So full of life even during the darkness of morning, it is a place that mirrors the soul of the city. At any time, the ethnic diversitt of Zamboanga is very much visible. There is no clash despite the presence of Spanish, Chinese, Sama, Subanon, Yakan, Tausug and Badjao cultures. Postcript The only expensive part is the airfare. But you can always take a boat, a journey that will obviously take longer. The Lnataka and it bar are famous so it will be worth staying there. Besides, it's really the best hotel. Food is so cheap everywhere...don't forget to try the best pan de coco in RP. It is baked daily at a bakery that is open 24 hours a day. Ask for directions...everyone knows it. I was there during the Hermosa Festival, and while there was a policeman at almost every corner, and the military in full force, there were no untoward incidents. Viaje con Diyos!

Podweed Posted October 7, 2004 Share Posted October 7, 2004 so you've been on a 'dam ship!! :cool: half moon cay is fantastic. my trip to that place was on the oosterdam.<{POST_SNAPBACK}> Oh, hello, eagleyes, my fellow Holland-America-Lines-cruiser. Half-moon Cay anyday!! From what mom told me, it will be one cruise. Yes, I do realize Cancun and Acapulco are on different coasts. I would love to pass through the Panama Canal. Now, having said that, what I really am looking forward to is visiting the ruins. Those Spring-Break hotspots I can do without. Have you been on any other cruises? I recommend a Costa cruise on the Mediterranean. Very nice. The Westerdam was rechristened The Costa Europa (I could be wrong) and is now part of the Costa fleet. When travelling, go by ship, guys. You will not regret it. Else, take the train. Forget airplanes. Quote Link to comment

Our time shares are elsewhere, but once when we move up in the world, they'll be where yours are, too. Hehe, sorry. I meant once when I move up. About Tahiti, you know, maybe I will. Thank you. Take care. Quote Link to comment
