Malapit na ang holy week and would want to speed some quality time with the family on a short vacation (3-4 days). What would you guys recommend? Any exotic but nearby places to go to? Nature trails? Of course, need to bring along the trusty car or van along (wala po akong 4x4 e).

Pls also categorize in terms of 1)affordability, 2)lodging, 3)overall impact (1-*star to 5-star,highest). Pls also dont limit to the high-end only, pwede rin yung mga short trips, cheap thrills (eg Tiger Safari in Calatagan).

My bets
1. Vigan/Baguio cultural trip- affordable but quite a long road trip (500-600km oneway), many lodging areas, many nature photostops; 4****

2. Infanta/Real beaches - commune with nature/beaches (approx 125 km, quite near, few lodgings but can be cheap, 3***

3. Puerto Galera - White beach; you can actually bring along your car with you on the ferry (less than 1000 yata ang pamasahe ng kotse), can be affordable but minimal amenities unless you're all beach bums, then you can manage, 3***

4. Lobo, Batangas beaches - havent been here, this is the least-tread town with many good beaches (daw), want to check this out. Have any of you guys been here. I think this is a further 30kms past Batangas City.

5. Albay/Sorsogon route - havent been here either, but will try for the pleasure of seeing mayon volcano and the whales.

What do you guys think?
