DIY: Legazpi, Albay

Well, this is a first.


Not the first solo trip but the first time I'm blogging pre-trip. Tomorrow's my flight and I've done a bit of research but haven't really had the time to organize everything so that's what I'm try'na do now. This will just be a rough draft sort of itinerary, some notes I jot down while doing some reading on the place. We'll see how much of this I actually get to do.


THE NIGHT BEFORE


again, checked airline for possible change in schedule since the one I'm boarding tomorrow is notorious for last minute changes. Luckily, everything seems to be in order. check.


For the third time too, (I'm OC that way haha) called up the hotel. Confirmed. plus I managed to get an airport transfer for free even though I notified them reallly late. Oh well, it doesn't hurt to ask. I asked, and I got rewarded lol.


I don't usually book a hotel in advance nor arrange an airport transfer but this is gonna be my birthday weekend and I'm doing it only on my days off besides, so I wanted to have as hassle-free trip as possible.
