Hi. My group (at least 4pax) will also be going to Sorsogon on the same date (assuming Feb 25 is a holiday, it hasn’t been announced yet). But for that 3days we are also going to try wakeboarding in Camsur. So our itinerary will be Legaspi-Sorsogon-Naga-Legaspi. My estimated cost will be around P6,000 which include only airfare, accomodation, tour (Mayon, Butanding, firefly, paguriran island, others around sorsogon area, land transfers. Wala pang food and airport tax. We will take PAL from Manila to Legaspi (P1,309, dep time 7am) and CebuPac from Legaspi to Manila (P1,090, dep time 2pm).
See yah!

after careful reading of your post, i see that we can’t join your donsol trip since you’ll be leaving legazpi on the 25th, while we’d probably be going to donsol that time.

my question would be: what’s the name of the hotel you’ve booked at legazpi & donsol & their corresponding rates & contact #s? there are 3 of us going there on feb 24-26 or 27.
