The general idea is to take a leisure drive to Los Banos, Laguna in Luzon Island from Davao City in the Mindanao Island, spend most of the vacation time in Luzon, and then drive back through the opposite side of the country.

Tacloban City, 22 March 2010 - The mansion, aka Romualdez Museum or Santo Nino Shrine and Heritage Center, was never intended to house Imelda Romualdez Marcos and family. It was just to showcase the ostentatious taste and "aristocratic origin" of then First Lady of the Philippines. It is, therefore, not surprising to find out that the former First Family never actually slept in their supposedly bedrooms.
Below are bedrooms of the mansion that caught our attention:
This is Imelda's extravagant bedroom that elicited a huge smile from Mama Sez while examining the place.
Imelda's bath tub with a simulated view of the sea. It was here when the conversation with our tour guide turned juicier and supposedly intimate details about the famous First Couple became the topic.
The dragons on this unique pink vase in Imelda's bedroom caught Leon's eyes, while Zeki took an interest of the lizard design in the next bedroom.
This is the former Philippine President Ferdinand E. Marcos' designated bedroom.
The coconut-inspired bedroom with elegantly crafted wooden headboard. Notice the "coconut" pillows on top.
One of the bedrooms attributed to a Mindanao indigenous tribe. This huge gong surely attracts closer inspection and tapping like what Leon is doing in this photo.
This bamboo-inspired bedroom is full of ideas for those who adore bamboos for interior decorating.
Of course, we would not leave out the Butterfly bedroom. Besides the preserved butterflies on frames, there are many butterfly-inspired decorations such as the mirror frame in this photo.
