Boracay Getaway for Our 32nd

                                                                      

I thought I would just forever be dreaming to experience the most trendy beach island in the Philippines.   But not anymore!  Last Wednesday, November 21, the family along with daughter’s friend flew to Boracay with plane tickets courtesy of daughter Janina as her gift to us for our 32^nd wedding anniversary which was on the following day.    I’m thankful coz it’s a big cost cut down for that 4d/3n vacation.  It being an early morning flight, we had to leave our place by 3am and left the car at the overnight carpark of the NAIA Terminal 3.  Thinking we still have enough time after we checked-in for our 6am flight, we took our breakfast at one of the eateries inside the airport oblivious of the fact that we were already being called as the last passengers to board.  What a shame!  Nonetheless,  I felt special that moment coz we had a van all to ourselves given that the shuttle bus that transports all the boarding passengers had  left us behind. (Blush!)

By 7am,   we were at Caticlan Airport. As visitors in Boracay, we had to register at the Visitors' Counter. We took two tricycles to bring us to the Caticlan Port then boarded a pump boat to ferry us to Boracay Island.   'Twas like a never ending chain of rides coz right after disembarking, we had yet to take a multicab going to our hotel.  Hah!..  This time, I was already a little bit tired but pretty excited.

We checked-in at La Carmela de Boracay (which was booked in advance with the help of my friend, Susan to avail adequate discounts) located in beachfront, Station 2.  Like our previous out of town trips where we arrived too early to check-in,  we simply left our luggage at the hotel then walked around  and came back only on check-in time. 

As we explored part of Boracay, I won’t deny that I was a bit disappointed initially.  The place I thought, was no different from the other beach resorts I’ve been to. .. plain and ordinary. But not until I got into the water and discover how truly perfect the beach is.  The powdery white sand is marvelous!  Nothing  like it I had ever seen before. Definitely incomparable! There are no rocks nor sea grasses. The sea bed is flat and smooth unlike other beaches where there are unexpected deep parts. Water is crystal clear. Fish are teeming and very sociable.  Though some bite a little, I presume it's merely a friendly gesture. Lol!

 Well, I guess I have to cut short from here.  We had a lot of exciting Boracay adventures which is too lengthy to post in one sitting, You can expect more posts with regards to this Boracay Getaway of ours soon.  So hope to see you here again!

Thank you for dropping by.  Have a blessed day everyone!
