ROAD TRIP, Acuatico Beach Resort ...

I, once again went on a “road trip” with my sister-in-law Vida, who has the habit of not sticking with the plan. If you are on the adventurous side you might appreciate her knack of just trying everything out. But if you are one that is organized and does not want any surprises, you might as well stay away from her and just find others to be with.

We found a new resort in San Juan, Batangas. After checking out five others, we found the “Acuatico” resort. The place was so nice that even if it was expensive we decided to stay. We rented the family villa. It has 3 rooms and the feel was really cozy. The “infinity pool” was so inviting. The beach is so nice, as what they say it’s the “boracay of the south”. Most of the guest were foreigners. The owner was very friendly and down to earth. The crew was really accommodating. They serve good food. All in all, i can say that our stay was great and I would like to visit again and see the rest of it because the construction of the other villas is not yet finished.

From my past experiences when going on a road trip you might consider these tips:

1. SURF THE INTERNET
If you don’t have any place in mind you might as well surf the net and check out the reviews on that place. There will be available maps on the sites and might as well print out a copy for it will come in handy.

2. PLAN
It wouldn’t hurt if you have a game plan. You should take into consideration everything that you might need. Like for example you should be sure that theres nothing wrong with the vehicle that you will be using. Make sure how many are going with you, so that everyone will still be comfortable and theres still space for baggage.

3. BUDGET
Set a budget and might as well stick with it. Bring light snacks like sandwiches or cookies and drinks, so that when one becomes hungry there will be available food in an instant, and you need not go to a drive-thru or pull-up to eat. Bring some chips, nuts and candies for it will really be a time for munching.

4. BRING ENOUGH CLOTHES
Be sure you have enough clothes to change in, so that you need not buy because it is way too expensive on the resorts and the trouble is theres not much to pick on.

5. BE SURE YOU HAVE…
Sun block–the higher the SPF the better, and having a UVB and UVA+++ is way too much better. Sun glasses–for your eyes. Cap–for your head. Hair brush or Comb.Towel, Shampoo and Conditioner, Soap, Toothpaste and toothbrush–these are most of the time available in the resorts, just too make sure, bring some of it anyway.
