Permission to be Powerful

Dear Vacation Vault reader,

Imagine landing in the Philippines with someone you love traveling with.

Two nights in Puerto Princesa.

Then three nights on a private island resort in El Nido.

Your days could include a private beach-hopping tour.

Scuba diving.

Kayaking.

Snorkeling.

A deep-tissue massage.

A sunset hike.

Island trekking.

And dinner on the beach.

Round-trip airfare for two is included.

So are your airport transfers and accommodations.

The total prize is worth about $11,000.

Five nights.

Two people.

One ridiculous stretch of turquoise water after another.
