The Philippine summer months of April and May
are among
the busiest for us at Cebu Pacific as we manage the volume of vacation travelers.
It’s always good to make the most of the sunshine, and we’re happy to take you
wherever you, your family and your friends wish to be on your break. We’ll even
give you some ideas on how to spend your vacation.
For our lineup this issue, we put in as much variety as we can for your
holiday pleasure. We believe in the power of mixing things up, and that you
also don’t need to spend a fortune to keep things interesting. Our
three-day
Manila itinerary
(
page 88)
,
for instance, packs in a stream of ideas the
whole family can enjoy, and some of them won’t cost you a thing. Likewise,
the
Hanoi city guide
offers visitors to the city a free history lesson
(
page
52)
just by walking along its streets, many of them lined with old buildings from
decades past, and by tracing the changing cityscape.
Looking for some place new to go to this summer? If you’ve never been to
the Land of the Rising Sun, now is the perfect time to go: you’ll find
Kyoto at
its most picturesque
in springtime Japan
(

.
Or, if you’re looking
for something new to do in a place you’ve been to before, consider following
a different itinerary: in our
illustrated guide to Cebu
(
page 100),
we
present a map for every agenda, whether you’re out to scour the city for locally
made goodies or keen on checking out the food scene. Speaking of food and
variety, we found a whole lot of those in
Kuala Lumpur
(
page 74)
and in
neighboring Petaling Jaya.
Wishing you a bright and blissful
summer, wherever you may be.
