February 2012 -- 17th Hot Air Balloon Festival at Subic, Clark Pampanga

I was thinking of someplace to go when my sister, who has been eyeing this festival some months back, presented me with this opportunity, see the hot air balloons in Subic, Clark on February 9-12.  I am not sure yet if I can come, but I REALLY REALLY want to.

Here's what it looks like at the yearly hot air balloon festival

Anyway, looking for details, my sis checked that a ticket to the viewing area costs 200 pesos (4.5 USD estimate).  Check it HERE

Researching for more information, i found this site:
