Places I want to Travel this Year 2011

I'm wondering now if what places I would like to travel this year 2011. My list is a little bit late but not to late to travel and discover this places. I google, google and google and found out the most exciting and inexpensive places to travel. So far, I only found 2 places that I want to travel the following are:

1. Isla Reta Beach Resort, Talicud Island, Samal

I, together with my college classmate are planning to have the reunion this coming Mid September or first week of October. We have planned this already and they suggested that the minimun cost for out outing would be Php 500.00. This includes travel fare from the wharf directly to the island and the entrance fee for the resort. We did a calculation already and the amount that we declared is just enough.

Calculation:

Boat Fare                           70.00 x 2 = 140.00
Entrance Fee                                             75.00
Food(Overnight)                                   200.00
Extra Money for Emergency                 85.00
                                                                  -----------
Total                                                         500.00
