I always look forward to taking a trip with my family in the summer. Whether we go to the beach or the mountains here in the country, take a trip abroad or even if we just laze around at home where we go is not as important as being able to spend quality time with the people I love. Just knowing that even for a while I can leave my worries and work behind and relax and enjoy the company of my family makes the thought of a vacation a perfect dream. So, even though there is so much happening in the world around us and I know we should not take these events for granted still it is good to take some time away to recharge and put our anxieties aside even for a short time.
Read on and find out where the celebrities I talked to want to spend their vacation.
Celso Dayrit, president, Philippine Olympic Commission: My favorite dream vacation in RP is Boracay. Its a place where I can really enjoy nature, relax and have a lot of fun in a truly tropical summer atmosphere. I enjoy its powdery sand, clear blue water, fresh seafood, inexpensive accommodations, beach and golf all day, the beautiful people around, relaxing evenings, fresh air all this in the company of friends and loved ones. What more could I ask for?
Cindy Kurleto, TV host, Masayang Tanghali Bayan: I would love to go to the beach to swim in the sea, watch the stars, lie on the sand and soak in the sun. But since I miss Austria, my dream vacation now is a winter weekend in the mountains where it is cold. I would like to stay in a cozy wooden house where there is thick snow all around and other people are miles away.
Joe Salazar, couturier: The best vacation that I had was the Malaybalay, Bukidnon trip I made three years ago. I visited Gang Gomez and stayed with him and the monks for two weeks. I felt so much peace when I was there. Since I have such a busy schedule, I never had the time to go back there. So, for my dream vacation I would love to go back.
Rio Cojuangco, actress: To be able to make it to my vacation.
Ino Manalo, MET Museum director: Id love to spend days just floating around the backwaters of Kerala in India. The problem is that I might end up doing on-the-spot research for a possible exhibit at the MET.
Manny Lopez, president, Amateur Boxing Association of the Philippines: My dream summer vacation, which I would like to take with my wife Suzette and three daughters, is a tour of the Seven Wonders of the World. I was fortunate enough to see majority of these wonders and I would like my family to be able to do the same.
Gloria Diaz, actress: Italy with my kids, Mike and my sisters and $50,000 to spend.
Angel Aquino, TV host, fashion and commercial model: It has to be summer in Boracay learning all the water sports, getting a perfect tan and walking the stretch of the beach at night.
