My friends know I got to travel due to my work. I went to Baler and Leyte because of my work in UP. I then got to go to Vietnam and Malaysia because of the conferences we managed in my current company. Back in college, I went to Davao because of the College Editors Guild of the Philippines. Technically, my CDO/Camiguin trip is the first trip I planned and spent my own money. Boracay last March was booked through a travel agent so they did the flight and hotel booking.
Initially, this was my cost estimate for our trip:

Surprisingly, we are within budget even if I forgot to make our transpo costs two-way. I spent around P6000.00 including pasalubong. It's cheaper to buy pasalubong in Camiguin. You can get keychains for just P5.00! We had a hard time finding pasalubong from CDO. All they suggested were pastels (which we bought from Camiguin as advised).
