We're finally going to Boracay! Woot woot! Yeah, I'm like a kid because it's my first time. I'm really happy Jeff is taking me to places I've never been to. I've always wanted to travel but I don't have the time, the money and the right person to go with. Jeff is the best partner to travel. Besides the snoring, everyday is heaven with him. Hahaha.

Jeff planned this entire trip. He booked the ticket last December before he even told me. There was a PAL seat sale and we got two roundtrip tickets for only Php3200+. Not really sure about the exact price. It was my first time to fly with PAL and I was so happy about it. The flight was on time. Our departure was 8.50AM, and sure it left Manila that time.

We landed in Kalibo after almost an hour. Jeff told me that we need to take a shuttle service to Caticlan which is like an hour and a half drive. Caticlan has it's own airport but only small planes land there. There was a man waiting for us outside. How did we know? He had a sign with Jeff's name. Haha! We rode a bus going to Caticlan Jetty Port. Jeff booked this service along with the hotel accommodations. Anyway, he wanted to sleep but I was really excited so I didn't. I just talked and talked and talked. After an hour and a half, we arrived in Caticlan Jetty Port. A boat is waiting for us and we have to cross to get to Boracay island. That was another twenty minutes I think. The boat arrived and I thought that was it but another shuttle was waiting for us. When does this ever end? So another twenty or so minutes of waiting and the shuttle stops at Residencia Boracay. Jeff booked this hotel for us. They have a very good off peak rates that we availed. This hotel is in Station 1. Jeff wanted us to stay in a quiet place so we won't be disturbed by the bar noise. I later realized that he was right, it was really quiet in Station 1.
I was really tired and hungry when we arrived. I took a shower and asked Jeff if we can have lunch right away. Jeff's Ateneo friends Carlo and Rocky were in Boracay at that time too. It was kind of a planned vacation with us, but they arrived the day before we did. Anyway, Jeff called them. After taking a shower, I dragged him out. It wasn't really sinking in that I am already in Boracay. All I was thinking was lunch. Seriously, I am not the girl you'd ever want to starve. I have never seen the beach since we got there, but when I did, it was paradise.

And that's where the Boracay gluttony begins...
