By Air, Land and Sea: Our Bacolod-Siquijor Weekend Itinerary

It's my birthday month. Another year to celebrate life and its intricacies. Original plan was to spend our weekend in Siquijor but after checking out the map and Cebu Pacific's promo fares, we decided to take a 45-minute flight to Bacolod before heading to Siquijor. Our target expenses should not exceed to PHP11,000. With a well-planned itinerary we managed to spend PHP11,441.16 for this trip, just PHP441.16 over than our budget. It would have been less if Dady's slippers cooperated during our Mambukal tour (one strap down) and if there was a nearby restaurant from Hotel Charisma in Siquijor (their food ranges from 120 and up). Here's the rest of our itinerary.
