It's part of my bucket list, and that never mind I won't be visiting other places so as long I can visit Coron. I categorize places I want to visit into 2 kinds.. the first one are the places I want to visit because it's accessible, because it's easier to travel there, and because it's still a new experience. The second kind are the places I would definitely visit. These places are the ones I need to visit before I die.. the places I am dying to visit.. and Coron is part of the latter. Palawan is home to the best beaches not just in the Philippines but also in the world. Filipinos and foreigners would include this in their travel must visit list because of the majestic and stunning beaches. Out of all the three famous destinations in Palawan, which are namely Puerto Princesa, El Nido, and Coron, Coron as they say is the least urbanized, you can't have those \u003ci\u003e\"walwal\"\u003c/i\u003e night life here. And truthful enough, Coron is a quaint quiet town where life is very simple. Bars can be counted on the fingers of your hand.

Because aside from it's Coron, it's also the week of my birthday and I'm celebrating it there!

You know the usual stuff.. planning your outfits and stuff. So when the day of our departure is getting nearer and nearer, news about the typhoon is also the rage over social media. It's not a super typhoon but still, it's still a typhoon. And unfortunately for us, the typhoon will pass through Coron the same day of our arrival there!

And how can I forget the yummy lunch prepared by our tour guides too? This trip isn't just about exploring and seeing new places, I learned how to deal with situations you can't control and how to stay calm even if events doesn't go the way you intended it to go. I learned that sometimes all you can do is be patient and trust that everything will be fine. :)\u003c/center\u003e\n\u003ccenter style\u003d\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e\n\u003cbr /\u003e\u003c/center\u003e\n\u003ccenter style\u003d\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e\n\u003cbr /\u003e\u003c/center\u003e\n\u003ccenter style\u003d\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\nIsland hopping, the beaches, activities, and cost breakdown on my next blog post. :)\u003c/center\u003e\n\u003ccenter style\u003d\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003cbr /\u003e\u003c/center\u003e\n\u003ccenter style\u003d\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003cbr /\u003e\u003c/center\u003e\n\u003cdiv style\u003d\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e\n\u003cbr /\u003e\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003c/center\u003e\n\u003ccenter\u003e\n\u003c/center\u003e\n\u003ccenter\u003e\n\u003c/center\u003e\n\u003ccenter\u003e\n\u003cimg alt\u003d\"Coron, Palawan Philippines\" src\u003d\"http://i65.tinypic.com/veyq90.jpg\" title\u003d\"Maaya Legaspi\" /\u003e\u003c/center\u003e\n\u003c/div\u003e\n"},"link":[{"rel":"replies","type":"application/atom+xml","href":"https://www.maayalegaspi.com/feeds/5499587242653636075/comments/default","title":"Post Comments"},{"rel":"replies","type":"text/html","href":"https://www.maayalegaspi.com/2016/12/coron-palawan-trip-to-remember.html#comment-form","title":"20 Comments"},{"rel":"edit","type":"application/atom+xml","href":"https://draft.blogger.com/feeds/3760548448812987226/posts/default/5499587242653636075"},{"rel":"self","type":"application/atom+xml","href":"https://www.maayalegaspi.com/feeds/posts/default/5499587242653636075"},{"rel":"alternate","type":"text/html","href":"https://www.maayalegaspi.com/2016/12/coron-palawan-trip-to-remember.html","title":"Coron, Palawan: A Trip to Remember"}],"author":[{"name":{"$t":"Maaya Legaspi"},"uri":{"$t":"https://draft.blogger.com/profile/10175924963575211047"},"email":{"$t":"noreply@blogger.com"},"gd$image":{"rel":"http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail","width":"32","height":"32","src":"//blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3BjOMHg0AVmLcjpZy8qmbyHpgkPV4x4Q0ibrw3T2WG035M3C-LPhQaxlHgzbpRR2yKGPoJvWQ2gQNBv9HYgnKtPki7fFwSbKW7zU8zCn2kYWN8CUhjWNo9iCX6IHMgQ/s220/IMG_5916.JPG"}}],"media$thumbnail":{"xmlns$media":"http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/","url":"https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-jlblTzstyeQ/WEBRtGY2zuI/AAAAAAAAGMA/q_YZsHUoN-Y_b_XUNAmbTrCKxo4gH-nCACLcB/s72-c/Coron%252C%2BPalawan%2B7.jpg","height":"72","width":"72"},"thr$total":{"$t":"20"},"georss$featurename":{"$t":"Coron, Philippines"},"georss$point":{"$t":"12.0499255 120.17817479999997"},"georss$box":{"$t":"11.0560115 118.88728129999997 13.0438395 121.46906829999996"}}]}});
