http://www.taylortan.org/TaylorTan/Adventures/Pages/Palawan_2009.html After Dave and Winnie’s wedding in Manila, we all went for a sort of a family honeymoon to a tiny resort off the coast of Palawan, to a resort called El Nido. Beautiful beaches, amazing fish, scuba diving, rock climbing, kayaking, and great food were just some of the highlights. http://www.taylortan.org/TaylorTan/Adventures/Pages/Palawan_2009.html#0 c4f8f99e-a27c-4bf2-83f3-9f8b05c6a0b0 http://www.taylortan.org/TaylorTan/Adventures/Pages/Palawan_2009_files/Media/IMG_0114.jpg?derivative=thumb http://www.taylortan.org/TaylorTan/Adventures/Pages/Palawan_2009_files/Media/IMG_0114.jpg?derivative=micro http://www.taylortan.org/TaylorTan/Adventures/Pages/Palawan_2009_files/Media/IMG_0114.jpg?derivative=mip <div style="padding: 0px; " class="image_cluster_layout_style_default_External_0_0"><div class="image_cluster_layout_style_default"><p style="padding-bottom: 0pt; padding-top: 0pt; " class="Caption">From the window of the tiny plane on the way to Palawan.</p></div></div> http://www.taylortan.org/TaylorTan/Adventures/Pages/Palawan_2009.html#1 0433db63-427f-4e31-a278-60595869db15 http://www.taylortan.org/TaylorTan/Adventures/Pages/Palawan_2009_files/Media/IMG_0123.jpg?derivative=thumb http://www.taylortan.org/TaylorTan/Adventures/Pages/Palawan_2009_files/Media/IMG_0123.jpg?derivative=micro http://www.taylortan.org/TaylorTan/Adventures/Pages/Palawan_2009_files/Media/IMG_0123.jpg?derivative=mip <div style="padding: 0px; " class="image_cluster_layout_style_default_External_0_0"><div class="image_cluster_layout_style_default"><p style="padding-bottom: 0pt; padding-top: 0pt; " class="Caption">Yay!
