Cebu trip

We went to Bohol the week of Sinulog Festival, so I thought it would be nice to visit Cebu as well. I made arrangement for us to take a fast ferry from Bohol to Cebu so we can be there for the grand parade. One has the option to use either OcenJet or Weesam from Tagbilaran, Bohol going to Cebu. If I am not mistaken both have 3 schedule trips every day. Your hotel in Bohol can help make those arrangements for you if you are not on a package tour and travelling on your own. We used the Weesam. The departure schedule was not on time so by the time we got to Cebu it is already 2:00 pm. We were a bit tired and never really get to enjoy much the rest of the day. It was nice to visit Cebu again after maybe 14 years??? The last time, I was there was with my sister, Mimi and we toured Cebu with our church friends. This one is really a short stay - the next day is the parade and we are also scheduled to fly back to Manila in the afternoon.

We stayed at the Cebu Waterfront Hotel and Casino. http://www.waterfronthotels.net/cebu/index.html . It is one of the nicest hotels in Cebu but is not the most convenient hotel to stay if you are there for the Sinulog Parade. For someone who lives in Las Vegas, the hotel is just one of the casino hotels we are used to. For me the only nice thing about the hotel is their nice pool and the kids always enjoy the pool.

Bob never really get to see much of Cebu except for the hotel and the Ayala center downtown. In fact, even the kids mostly stayed in the hotel until we are ready for our flight back to Manila. Bob volunteered to babysit the kids while I and Cherrie explore the town for the Sinulog fest. My sister, Cherrie, enjoyed the Cebu trip because she gets to see local showbiz celebrities who are in town for the Sinulog festival. In fact, quite a lot of them are staying in the same hotel we are in. All in all, I wish I scheduled a separate Cebu trip. It was getting a bit too long for the kids and they are getting a little difficult to handle. We are ready to go home!

Bobby was a little upset because Robby and Tita Cherrie were the only ones having pictures with "celebrities". So I told him, he can pose with a very famous international celebrity ... no other than his Papa, the very famous Bob Morris of Las Vegas! :-) So he happily posed with his dad.
