"Travel brings power and love back to your life." - Rumi. A simple yet meaningful travel quote that can be used as a good reflection for a busy yet productive employee life.
This is one of my travels that I preferred to chill in one place. To spend the whole day eating, relaxing, sleeping and swimming. It feels great to share time with a travel friend who is generous enough to invite me for a free weekend chill.
Few hours travel from Manila, Lewis Grand Hotel in Angeles City, Pampanga was our destination. The hotel is great. The room we had was spacious enough and worth the price. You can really feel that you are on a grand vacation. The view from our room down to the swimming pool is just picture perfect. I also commend the very accommodating employees of the hotel. (Good job!)

The pool is so engaging that we just wanted to swim right away. We shared a couple of drinks, great enough to chill for the afternoon. After finishing few glass of drinks, we enjoyed the moment swimming and strolling around the hotel. Also, include the unending picture-taking left and right. (Haha!)
After our dinner, we also had the chance to stroll along the busy streets of Angeles City. The busy streets reminds me of how Malate, Manila looks like at night. The area was crowded with locals and foreigners enjoying the night.

The 2 days and 1 night travel experience with a good friend at a grand hotel was good enough for us to enjoy life once in a while. If you are looking for a grand place for a weekend chill that is nearby Manila, try visiting this place.
