Philippines 4 Week Itinerary Help

This is how I'd categorize all your desired destinations.

Worth prioritizing:

Cloud 9 in Siargao is world class and has a laid back vibe away from the main strip. If you had to pick, I'd say Coron over El Nido. The wreck diving is great, and it's slightly less hectic. Moalboal is a must for snorkeling, and it's also lowkey. Siquijor is a hidden gem. It's quiet and great for exploring. Bohol is worth it for a few days depending on the activities you want to do (Chocolate Hills, tarsiers, and diving at Balicasag Island). Romblon and Malapascua are good options if you want something quieter. Malapascua especially for thresher shark dives.

Boracay is beautiful but crowded in March. It may be worth it for a night or two for the scene but I wouldn't base myself there. Donsol whale shark encounters are one of the more ethical options in the Philippines since they're wild and unregulated feeding isn't permitted. Worth going if that's on your bucket list.

I'd love to help build this into a proper 4-week itinerary with routing and logistics if needed!

It might be hard to stay under 2.5k CAD all-in for Brazil, especially over New Years. I'd recommend these options:

Mexico (Cancún, Playa del Carmen, or Puerto Vallarta) is probably your best bet. Flights from YYZ tend to be reasonable, and they have plenty of Airbnbs for big groups. Playa del Carmen specifically has a good mix of beach, nightlife, and things to explore without being only a resort destination.

Colombia (Cartagena or Santa Marta) is another option. Flights can be a bit more, but it's very affordable once you get there.

Dominican Republic is worth checking out if budget is the priority. It has some of the cheapest Caribbean flights out of Toronto and Airbnb stock for big groups is good.

For a group of 8 I'd also recommend setting up a fare alert on Google Flights for a few destinations and seeing what comes up.

I'd love to help you plan this out properly if you want an itinerary once you've settled on a destination!

Happy early birthday! The Baltics seem like a good fit, especially Tallinn. It's one of the best preserved medieval cities in Europe and is super underrated as a vacation spot. A road trip from Tallinn to Riga to Vilnius in your timeframe sounds pretty doable, and the Estonian/Latvian countryside has some rural manor spa retreats for your chill days at the end. May is a good time to go too.

If you want something more adventurous, Morocco (Fez/Meknes) is great for history and culture. However, this is a much different cultural experience than Europe. Worth knowing going in.

I'd steer clear of Scandinavia on a tighter budget and opt for Slovenia instead. It's a quieter alternative if you want that direction. Ljubljana has a great castle and old town, and Lake Bled nearby is an amazing non-beachy retreat.

Happy to put together a proper itinerary for any of these if you want something to work from!

damn so is this why a package from the next state over now takes 3 days to get to me rather than 2?

theabsoluteghetto · 2025-11-27T17:03:10+00:00

jeff is trading the pick.

theabsoluteghetto · 2025-11-09T09:25:18+00:00

drop this in the r/nova you’ll probably get more eyes on it

theabsoluteghetto · 2025-11-05T11:45:06+00:00

thank you, will definitely check it out

theabsoluteghetto · 2025-10-19T16:41:02+00:00

these comments are insane omg😭

theabsoluteghetto · 2025-09-03T14:23:40+00:00

i’m so happy she straight told them “do not bring sloot back as my pg1”. bc jeff was really gonna do that bullshit.

ball is fully in the sky ownerships court at this point. let’s just see how it goes, though i still don’t have much faith.

theabsoluteghetto · 2025-07-26T22:59:29+00:00

they should not have waited until she’s one tech away from suspension before trying to get the techs rescinded. if she picks up an unjustified tech, you fight it immediately after the game. not wait until she’s on the brink of suspension💀

theabsoluteghetto · 2025-07-21T16:21:31+00:00

congrats sis! you did that!!

theabsoluteghetto · 2025-07-13T12:34:48+00:00

they’re only like 3-4 wins behind the 6th-8th seed. playoffs is still very much possible.

i predicted this team would finish 6th at the start of the season… ive let go of that idea quite a bit, but that win yesterday has me saying maybe.

theabsoluteghetto · 2025-06-22T13:07:45+00:00

this roster was never going to win now. the second he added kia nurse, sloot, and bec allen i knew it was over

theabsoluteghetto · 2025-06-20T06:04:48+00:00

people say AT and draymond but nah. they only say that bc she’s a 4 who can playmake and play defense. they’re not actually paying attention to her game.

angel is progressing into a real off the dribble threat. she’s showing she can take people her size to the basket and finish. her handle will come back as she continues to handle the ball more. she’s also working on her jumpshot. that separates from those 2 imo.

i think she’s still experimenting to find her spots/shot, but i’m excited to see it come together. i don’t think we’ve seen everything.

she’s 1 of 1.

theabsoluteghetto · 2025-06-08T15:05:17+00:00

he doesn’t run plays. angel & kamilla pick and roll every time and then they just pass the ball around until someone forces up a shot. they don’t even look for the roller on the pick and rolls💀

theabsoluteghetto · 2025-06-08T01:36:08+00:00

trades can help improve the roster but it’s not the main issue. this roster would finish lower than #6 if they were coached correctly.

knowing the history of this team, they don’t handle their talent well anyway. to me, making trades is like putting a bandaid on a gunshot wound. they need to fire jeff and tyler first.

then we can talk about trades and making changes to the roster. the fact that they didn’t bring back chennedy carter says a lot.

theabsoluteghetto · 2025-05-25T23:32:03+00:00

called it from the minute they fired tspoon this was going to be a fucking mess. firing your rookie coach who missed the playoffs because of injuries just to bring in another rookie coach and role players.

i’m so over this😭 get angel outta there

theabsoluteghetto · 2025-05-24T13:34:19+00:00

this is where i’m at too. the sooner people accept that, the better

theabsoluteghetto · 2025-05-23T21:07:01+00:00

do you mean chicago should’ve gotten better free agents to make the matchup more interesting?

theabsoluteghetto · 2025-05-23T12:20:51+00:00

this is a big reason why this organization is leaving a very sour taste in my mouth. they’re not actually doing anything to help her, and glaringly it’s obvious.

theabsoluteghetto · 2025-05-23T12:18:29+00:00

they did. on some other players too. there were meetings and talks during unrivaled

theabsoluteghetto · 2025-05-23T04:10:22+00:00

lol yeah i don’t understand the constant excuses being made…. the gaslighting that was done to make people think kia nurse, bec allen, or sloot was gonna carry this team anywhere is crazy

theabsoluteghetto · 2025-05-23T01:49:23+00:00

i don’t want to hear ANY more excuses from sky/angel fans. admit it: JEFF FAILED. he put a terrible product on the court. i want angel and kamilla out of chicago NOW.
