If you have not gone to Davao City lately, this is the scene from where I stood on Sunday last week … to my right the only tallest in that area … The Marco Polo Davao

To my left is the newest addition to the sprawling hotels in this city, The Pinnacle Inns and Suites along Sta. Avenue.

Hi Vernz! It sounds like a wonderful city to visit. I'll have to try to find a cruise that stops in the Philippines, however, because I can't handle long plane flights any more. ;~)
