Boracay

Our family outing in summer of 2014 was in Boracay. We purchased plane tickets 10 months before the trip,its a seat sale from Cebu Pacific so we saved a lot.

My youngest son , 1st time to rode a plane

We stayed at Nirvana in station 2, for 2 nights. The place is not beach front but is 5 minutes walking to the beach. It is an apartment with two aircon rooms at the 2nd floor and a living , kitchen dining and toilet and bath at the 1st floor. There’s a small swimming pool infront of the 5 door apartments. What I love most in this place is the kitchen with complete utensils . We are 5 in a family so eating out will be very expensive, we bought what we need in the market and cook our own food ,that way we saved much on food.

We had fun , only that my daughter had an asthma attack, may be due to the very hot weather, its April or maybe due to the exhausting ride from Kalibo to Boracay which is more than 3 hrs . So next time instead of Kalibo I’ll choose Caticlan flight . And another lesson I learned in this travel is to make sure we have our medicines on hand. I brought the nebulizer but I forgot to bring the nebule. At 2 am , me and my son was walking in town proper looking for meds. No available meds of known brand. I took the risk of buying a nebule of Korean brand, I cant even read the label, I just trusted the store owner and prayed that everyting will be alright. Indeed, that Korean medicine was effective.

Three days and 2 nights is not enough to enjoy Boracay. Next time we will stay little bit longer for my children to try some of the water sports and for me and my husband to try the best spa in the island.
