Posts: 316Sabang / Puerto Galera
Thanks to this forum, I was able to use the seaplane to and from Manila. What a time saver and a pleasant way to travel! Manila to Puerto Galera via AirTrav, 7000 php. Puerto Galera to Manila via Air Juan 6000 php. Reserved on their websites, using credit card, was seamless. Flying back to Manila, we could see the SLEX traffic below heading north, absolutely jam packed. Couldn't help thinking: suckers! The AirTrav plane was newer but the service was the same on both airlines, 10/10 rating for both.
Rented a bike in Sabang for 300 php and had a blast exploring. Rate is good from 8 am-6 m. This is a definite must-do. Google the sites to see and away you go.
Took a FL from Big Apple, 1000 php. She was 35, a bit crazy but got the job done. The next night she wanted to see me again and stood outside my hotel room at the Big Apple banging on the door, begging to come in. Nuts. Never barfined anybody, but visited almost all of the bars. The general quality of the girls here is below AC or Burgos, but hot ones are around. Not very many hot FL's. If you want a hot girl, I suggest to go early to the bars to beat all the Koreans and Chinese to the punch. They are here by the 100's.
Sabang generally is a s* hole, the beach is disgusting. I could see and smell raw sewage draining out of pipes that were going down to the direction of the beach, draining out onto the sand. They are working on a new sewage treatment system and plant to fix it all.
Big Apple is a great place to stay. The room (at the front) are pretty tired and the mattress is a 3" thick piece of foam on wood slats. Who cares. Having the bar there is great and the food is decent. The Pacquaio fight was fun to watch in the packed bar.
Had to pay a guy 50 php upon arrival at the pier in Sabang. In hindsight, I think it was a scam. It was apparently for an Environmental Fee and he gave me a little colored piece of paper for proof. Can anybody confirm this?

Posts: 270Final question before lift off.
Dear masters and gurus,
I just found out that Sipalay (near Dumagette) is pretty dead for choice of girls.
Toying with idea of inviting PL and DIA contacts to go with me.
My following of forum advice gives me the impression that bringing a girl to a beach dive site could be a terrible idea.
Any advice from Monger divers with experience to such situations?
Much obliged,
Vic.

Hi Mogwai,
I have found a hotel at 100 m from LA Cafe.
But I hope to do diving during the day in Sipalay (south Negros), then trying the bar at night. I hope.
Will be getting the fake Viagra to assist my little brother just in case the diving is too exhausting.
Vic.

Thanks RR,
Hope to find out if anyone has good contacts in Sipalay and Manilla.
Have started working on DIA contacts.
After following the forum for some time. I understand that it is good to try, though not a guaranteed project =(.
Appreciate all advice, please PM numbers if available.
Much obliged, Vic.

Posts: 216Sex near the beach
I would like to try something different from the usual vacation in Angeles and Subic and visit someplace with a clean beach and good food. So my question is:
1. Where can I find someplace with a nice beach and a resort-like atmosphere?
2. Is there local talent or do I need to make a pit stop and bring someone?
I'm' thinking if a 3-4 day excursion, than back to Angeles for the usual fun and games.
Thanks!!

I've now left PH and having a happy family holiday at a midway tourist area that I know my family enjoy.
To answer the PMs about what happened: there was no Bobbitt-esque reception. The matter hasnt been discussed except for a coupe of comments supporting my plausible denial story and the lack of security with Air BnBs. I'd be kidding myself if I thought that what happened was not understood and been forgiven and forgotten but it hasn't been a deal breaker worth breaking up the family.
My intention is not to bring it up and let it pass. For my next trip, the weather will be too bad to scuba in the Philippines but there will be some nice options in Indonesia. I'll be back to PH, just after a politically acceptable time.
