Arrived in Manila very busy and very hot in the prosses of trying way to hard not to get ripped off by a taxi drver, we got ripped off. With the fare he forced us into we could have made the journey about 4 times. Visited the old spanish city in intramouras and choose our own fish from the market which was then delicioulsy cooked for us. Went out for one beer and ended up beating the locals at beer pong and kariokie until the early hours. Then onto boracay a quick flight, bus, bamboo ferry and trike ride to The tree house. Mostly relaxing on the beach today, white sands and clear water. ... read more

We arrived back home in Kaohsiung on Sunday, January 13th, having lost Saturday in traveling. The weather was very nice, such a change after Saskatchewan! We settled back in, getting groceries at the market, riding our scooters and Linda teaching. We were kept busy, preparing for Chinese New year at the end of January, painting lanterns and drawing horses and writing Mandarin characters for the apartment. David, our night doorman, and also our good friend returned to his duties, and helped us with our meditations and healing prayers for Tai. He and his wife made bracelets for Tai, and through the school, we had them couriered to Saskatoon. We were amazed to hear that they arrived in Saskatoon 40 hours after we left them with the school office. Tai continues to wear at least one of ... read more

Unplanned travel adventure on an exciting place is always fun. Afternoon of Christmas day, December 25, 2013, me and my friend visited another friend. We just talked about our childhood and what's happening on us by now. The host friend talk about Boracay and then we said, let's go to Boracay! And that's it, we headed to Boracay before the day ends. Boracay is such a paradise... Never get bored every time i go there. Definitely, i'll be going back again and again...... read more

We leave the Hostel for the Airport (P170) after a lovely breakfast – M treats himself to a local avocado to go with it. As its Sunday we get there in double quick time for the 11.55 am flight. As we are about to check in C notices a counter with Senior Citizens written on it. She goes to check if we can jump the queues and the PAL Express folk ask if we would like to go on the earlier flight (10.30 am) which is just about to board. Yes please – as this will save 2 hours hanging around and get us to a tropical island earlier – a no brainer! The Flight is in a small plane and takes about 1 Hr to Caticlan, one of 2 entry points for Boracay. Having travelled ... read more

After a 9 hour night bus from Banaue we arrived in Manila at 4am. We jumped in a taxi and headed to the airport where we waited for 11 hours for our flight to Kalibo. Once we arrived in Kalibo we caught a 2 hour coach ride to Caticlan where we caught a boat to the island or Boracay. Finally, at 930pm, we had arrived. We had a drink then went straight to bed, best sleep ever! There isnt much to say about Boracay other than its a paradise beach resort that needs to be seen to be believed. The sand is white, the ocean blue, the sun shines and the food and drink flows. The beach is littered with palm trees and sailing boats and has to be the most beautiful beach I have seen. ... read more
