Boracay Experience With The Family

One of the most memorable trip of 2012 was our sidetrip to Boracay. Our accomodation was affordable and clean, fronting the beach and right in the middle of station 2 where all the actions are and the goods. The airconditioned room costs 2,500 with 2 twin beds which was just enough for the five of us. We also took another room shared by my 2 sisters, aunt and Yaya Ann. It probably helped that it was off season so upon arrival, a local tourist guide helped us find accomodation we only paid the multi cab that brought us to station 2.

It was our first ever try at Paragliding which costs Php 1,500 per 15 minutes per person up there in the air. And it's also the first time that i realized, how fun it would be to own a speed boat how much more a yacht. Hah!

We went there with our SUV of choice, the Fortuner from Batangas then to Mindoro then left it at a parking lot in Caticlan. I was surprised that there were lots of vehicle there parked mostly SUVs. Like us, they must have come from far-flung places and islands.

Here are some of the photos i took from the New Ipad.

Para-sailing

Who would have thought fearful,cheapskate me would try para-sailing in Boracay? Well, I did. Primarily because the husband wanted to try it, second is he is footing the bill and i didn't want to miss the opportunity to try something a little bit daring than my usual vacation activities.

At 41, if i wouldn't do it now i probably will not have another chance again. If my children are trying it, why wouldn't i? It's not like i'm jumping out of an airplane. Seriously, when we are already being lifted up i felt like signalling the boatman already to take us down. But abby was so excited that i didn't have the heart to be the one to end his enjoyment. So i just bear it. Surprisingly, being up there in the sky felt peaceful. And i actually enjoyed it. I must say that it's all thanks to the husband. Really, i get out of my comfort zone because his can-do attitude rubs on me. I'd say further that i am a little braver and stronger because of him.
