Be aware that the experiences you’re about to encounter is unlike anything you’d encounter anywhere else in the world. Each and every country has its own unique experience to offer you and when you travel to the Philippines, you should expect the same.
When Is It Best To Travel To The Philippines?
Are you allergic to rain? If so, it would do you good to avoid traveling to this part of Southeast Asia during the months of June till November as that’s when the occasional typhoon or two makes time to visit the Philippines. Traveling during the rainy season of the Philippines can be quite a hassle, especially if you don’t have a car. But if you do, you could expect smaller crowds to contend with as most people tend to stay indoors.
If you’re unable to take the heat and still be merry, then you should not travel to the Philippines during the months of March till May because that’s officially the summer season of the country. Everyone head for the nearest beach so if you don’t want to feel crowded when you’re sunbathing, set your travel date for another time of the year. The Easter season is always busy for everyone in the Philippines so expect a difficult time on reserving transportation when it’s Holy Week.
If you’re on the lookout for the world-famous fiestas that only the Philippines could offer, schedule your travel date for January, May or December. The flower season of Baguio – described as the summer capital of the Philippines because of its perennially cool weather – is something to look forward to. And then there’s the Santacruzan during May and which each and every town parades its most beautiful residents in a walk around town.
Where In The Philippines Is It Best To Travel To?
There are so many types of places to visit in the Philippines that it’s hard to enumerate each and every one of them. Beaches, however, are one of the most favorite travel spots of the country so if you want to enjoy your stay in a beautiful paradise of clear blue green water and cool white sand, you could check out Tali Beach, the world-famous Boracay or try surfing the secluded beaches of Surigao and La Union.

Philippine Travel – When and Where
February 25th, 2010Louisiana – French Market – A Great Vacation and Travel Destination
January 8th, 2010
The French Market in New Orleans, Louisiana, is simply amazing. You may feel that New Orleans is off limits as a vacation place after Hurricane Katrina, but that is not the case at all. Many changes have taken place and it is still a beautiful place to visit. The French Market is just amazing and you will know you have arrived when you begin smelling the fresh ground coffee that will make a café au lait and the fresh herbs. You can find the French Market in the French Quarter and the open air market will remind you of the very popular European markets. Everything you could want will be at the French Market from shopping and music to amazing dining and an unrivaled atmosphere.
The French Market has been around since the late 1700s and really hasn’t changed much in the past two centuries. This is America’s oldest public market and everyone should visit it at least once. There are five blocks of shops where you will find great souvenirs that your family and friends will really enjoy. You’ll find locally made jewelry, artifacts, and even clothing. There are farmers out selling fresh fruits and vegetables and this is a great place to get some of the summer’s best treats.
Enjoy a café au lait with some beignets, which are square doughnuts with powdered sugar on top. This is a real treat and truly excellent any time of the day, especially in the morning or when it is cooler. Some great restaurants to try include Café du Monde, Bella Luna Restaurant, and Tujaque’s.
There are many other things to do in New Orleans, too, so you can easily plan a vacation to the area for a long weekend or even longer to enjoy everything this beautiful city still has to offer.
There is a website that has great information on USA Vacations and Unique Travel Spots Listed State By State and Season, the website is called: Seasonal Vacation Spots, and can be found at this url: http://www.seasonalvacationspots.com
