3 am came a lot sooner than we thought it would, but we were both so anxious to get to the island of Boracay that it didn’t matter. This was the part of the trip that I was most excited about and couldn’t wait to dig my toes into the white sand beaches.
waiting at the airport...
our little plane, it was so tiny...the cockpit didn't even have a lock on the door, we were in the first row and we could see everything that was going on...that was a little nerving for me.
The Domestic Airport was a bit crazy with people trying to get out of town for Holy Week (one of the biggest holidays in the PI, similar to spring break but a lot more crazy), so we were glad that we got there early. Our flight was supposed to leave at 5:45 am, and wasn’t too incredibly late getting outta there. The plane took us to Caticlan where we then hopped a small boat to the island of Boracay.

We got to our hotel a bit early too, and weren’t able to check in for a few more hours, but the staff at Dave’s Straw Hat Inn were super cool and let us leave our stuff at the front desk. They hooked us up with their special secret-recipe homemade mango iced tea as a welcome drink, and gave us some beach towels to use for the week. Janet told us to get out and enjoy the beach and that our room would be ready and waiting for us later.
the sand was so fine, it was like baby powder!
She didn’t have to tell us twice. So we put on our suits and headed for the beach. We don’t really need to say much else…other than this day was our 2 year anniversary so we celebrated with a nice dinner!
this is the market where everyone sells jewlery, bags...all the souvenirs
and for dessert..yummy cake!
cheers...i had a fresh watermelon drink and eric....a fresh lemonade drink!
