Plus these incidents should be of a more frequent nature than those that happen elsewhere, say, along Marcos Highway or the National Highway itself. Well, I suppose there could be other motives for the insistence to close Kennon Road -- how about a beautiful, cost-free "subdivision" for all the natives who want to live there? Imagine "owning" Kennon Road.

Plus they needed to add extra holes to make it a world class competition course. The other effect of this is that CJH is way less impressive now than it was before 1997. The length of Sheridan Drive was just so beautiful! I do not like the Fil-Estate development. But I remember an official of theirs telling me that they were wanting to attract a crowd that would come by plane or private cars (they thought kennon was to remain the preferred route).

There are private car rental companies and their ads can be found in the local papers. If you're staying at the Manor, the concierge should be able to call a cab or arrange for rentals for you. Anything else you need, email me. I'll try to give you some numbers. Hi Joy, and thanks for dropping by. There are private car rental companies and their ads can be found in the local papers.

Enjoy your blogs very much! This one was so just in time and what I wanted to know -- info on Kennon and Klondikes. Coming up this September and we're planning to have lunch at Atenara on Sep 27. Hope I'll see you there. Cheers, Dudes Hi Lisa! Enjoy your blogs very much! This one was so just in time and what I wanted to know — info on Kennon and Klondikes.
