It was a perfect day to cruise along the bay. It was, after all, Friday the 13th. After a leisurely drive to the CCP and a hearty dinner, on-board the yacht we went and anchors aweigh!
Yahoo! Day Out! is held twice a year in an effort to push Yahoo! advertisers, clients, sponsors, and friends out of the doldrums of the workweek. It’s prime time for for Yahoo! and its partners to get to know each other, network and maintain business ties.

Dubbed Yahoo! Cruises to Vegas! the idea was to achieve a high-roller’s yachting lifestyle, a sun-set getaway for a fresh perspective of Roxas Boulevard, the Manila Bay, and the Sofitel Philippine Plaza. The cruise soon neared the unmistakable lights of the Mall of Asia, and the Yahoo! Day Out-ers were ted with brilliant fireworks from the Bay! Fantastic timing! With everyone savoring the peace and quiet, the trip back was solemn, preserving the precious serenity of the Bay.

Back on land, and in true Vegas fashion, the Yahoo! high-rollers were entertained by Tina Turner and Diana Ross impersonators. It is still unclear who was more surprised, the audience at the sight of the impersonators, or the impersonators at the audience’s delight! Questioned afterwards on his choice of entertainment, Yahoo!’s Cris Concepcion deadpanned, “I wanted Elvis.” Alas, Cris. Elvis has left the building.
