Waking up at 11 A.M. and not being able to find the sun up in the sky is not my ideal type of day. The rain is bashing our roof and there are no signs of it stopping at all. There’s no typhoon reported in the news last night so I think it’s just really the rainy season. Days like this just makes me miss summer more and brings me great memories of my past summer vacation in Boracay. Well, I never got time to blog about our Boracay experience right after it happened and today is probably the best time to do it. Well, I think it’s better late than never.

Our Boracay trip wasn’t actually planned. After having lunch one afternoon, Marvin and I talked about going somewhere relaxing for the summer. We both haven’t gone to Boracay so we agreed that it was the best place to go to. We both agreed that the upcoming weekend is the best time to go on a trip since most of our well prepared and planned trips almost always never push through. I immediately booked our flights with Cebu Pacific. That was the first time that I booked a flight online and fortunately, it was a breeze with Cebu Pacific. Their website and booking system is user-friendly and easy to use even for non-techie people.

Marvin, Dulce and I went to the Boracay trip. Upon arriving at the airport, we were already excited. We started to document our trip by taking photos of every good place we can spot. We arrived at Caticlan, the fastest way to Boracay, at around 1 P.M. and we were picked up by people from Red Coconut Resort. We hopped into a small boat and we can already see the beauty of Boracay Island even before we got there. Upon arriving at the resort we asked the person on the reception desk to arrange a banana boat ride for us. We just didn’t want to end our day without doing any activity. The banana boat ride was fun and exciting. It’s just too bad that we do not have any pictures of it. We returned to our room and took some rest. It was already dinner time when we got out of the room. After having a nice dinner at Red Coconut Restaurant, we explored the shores of Boracay in all stations. We had to return to our room early and get some rest for tomorrow’s activities.

We started early at Day 2. After eating a breakfast buffet at Red Coconut, we prepared for our island hopping trip. We got some snorkeling equipment and hopped into our service boat. We took pictures of every beautiful view that we see. Unfortunately, the battery of our camera died in the middle of our trip. Well, we thought if we let the battery rest for a while, it will be enough to take a couple more of pix for our next activity - parasailing. Parasailing is the most exciting activity that I’ve tried in my entire life so far. We were like on top of the world, flying and with the wind blowing up even higher. Our day ended with having a few drinks and chilling in a bar. We had to sleep early today so we can wake up early for an early flight out of the paradise.

Leaving the island was a sad moment but it only lasted until we had a small chit chat with a friendly and gorgeous flight attendant of Cebu Pacific. Boracay is definitely a great summer destination and we just didn’t get enough of it. The 3 of us agreed that we will definitely return to this island next summer.
