Boracay

Jun 14,

After spending the work week in Manila, I had to stay the weekend to join another set of meetings the following week. Instead of just staying in Manila, I decided to go to the beach by myself. Philippines is famous for their beaches, so I couldn’t go all the way there and not try to visit them. My coworkers suggested Boracay and I am glad they did. It was beautiful and exactly what I needed.

Getting to Boracay required a short 1 hour flight, a van ride, a boat ride, and another van ride. But I didn’t have to figure it out on my own. I took the Manila hotel transportation to and from the airport, and the Boracay hotel transportation on the other end. It was all very convenient and safe.

The sand was white, and the water was clear and warm. I normally only get my feet wet, because I get cold easily, but it was so nice and warm that I got all the way in and even floated for a while.

I am not a very good “ by myself” type person, because I’ve never had the need, so I was proud of myself for my solo trip. Since I love the beach, and Boracay was so pretty, I enjoyed my couple of days and never felt lonely.
