Boracay Revisited

The last time we were here was 3 years ago. C just turned 1 and there was just the 3 of us.  Now D just turned 1 and it's now 4 of us for this revisit.

After the rehabilitation,  Boracay is cleaner but still have a lot more to go.  Many establishments in Station 1 are still closed, main road fixing is still on-going from the Church to the City Mall.

Still a variety of good  restaurants, so you don't have to worry where to eat.

The beach front is cleaner and wider.  Soft, white powdery sand still attracts people to walk the strecth of the beach, day or night time.

Thought that after 3 years the airport terminal would be world class considering SMC is constructing it... but the structure remains skeleton at this time.  Terminal is old, small and crowded.  Hope they get to continue and finish the new terminal building.

#Boracay still have a lot of improvement waiting to be completed, but the beach is just so beautiful that we keep going back again and again. 

Until our next adventure!

FUN TRAVEL: 5 years after…

It’s been a while since my last entry... and it's been also about 2 years since we traveled by air.  The past year was limited to land travels as we adjust to parenting C.  We worry about how he would behave during the trips and we worry about the chances of diaper changes during the trip.  For our 5^th anniversary, C would be 13 months and we decided to take him on his first flight and re-visit Boracay.

3 months earlier, we have already reserved our hotel, bought plane tickets for our return flight and considered taking chances on our flight to Boracay. Fast forward… we finally made our first trip together as a family and it was FUN and memorable!

1st day, Sunday. 

We headed for the airport to catch the first flight to Caticlan, Boracay.  We were flying as chance passengers as benefit for working with an airline but it was a Sunday, and getting onboard to Boracay was hassle-free.

At the airport, C was very active.  Walking to one direction to another, following other kids and toddlers roaming around the pre-departure area.  He was too tired and fell asleep even before we boarded the aircraft. 

The whole flight he was asleep.  We didn’t have the chance to see how he would behave inside the plane.  He woke up just before we landed and thought he did not know that we were inside an airplane.  As we alighted from the stairs, it seemed he recognized the airplane behind us as he pointed to it.

ENTOURAGE GOES TO BORACAY

There is a saying that the travels that you don't plan, those that were decided at the spur of the moment are those that usually happens... so at the spur of the moment, a few days after Que and Lester's wedding (26 NOV 2014)... the entourage goes to Boracay.

Relaxing in Boracay

It's been months since Tutel and I had a real vacation!  The preparations for the wedding played most of our days... now that has become one of the best memories we'll have... it's time to get some FUN and relax... just the two of us...  destination ---- Boracay!

I have been working with my company (Airline company) for 11 years, I have traveled up North to Tuguegarao and down South to General Santos.  Have been visiting places in Visayas and Puerto Princesa, but ironically I have never been to Boracay!  So, after 11 years I finally have visited Boracay!

The famous Boracay landmark  ---- the Grotto by the sea.
