Well, I knew this would be the hardest blog yet to write. After all, how can you detail the mind altering activities undertaken while living in paradise for 4 days? How can you emerge from the numbness and make it seem more real, uninflated?
There were the trials of having to work my abs while rolling over in the beach chair or the day we were told that there might be a cloud in the sky along with an apology for the weather and a big smile, with Philippine island accent, saying “I hope not mum. We’ll hope for no cloud.” Yes, Jessie had the stress of having to leave the beach to walk back (through paradise) to our room for her forgotten iPod. And Matt endured the pain of sunburn because I was too lazy to apply sunscreen for him (i.e., he was too lazy himself as well).
Wow, we haven’t relaxed that deeply since the days of camping at Pensacola - and even then we had to cook meals and set up camp. Enough said. This is simply the most decadent place we’ve ever traveled to and probably the place most likely to cause us to enter
The final flight
Flight time Manila-Caticlan: 25 minutes. Landing: Better be belted. Take-offs: Rev the engine full throttle and sling off the island - hold onto your hat! Short runway. into a downward spiral of idleness leading to loss of drive for everything of meaning in life….. Ok, so that’s a bit extreme, but it really was a great vacation. We now know the address for paradise. It’s Barangay Yapak, Boracay Island, Malay, Aklan, Philippines - Shangri-La Resort. We’re already plotting how we can somehow return……
No cultural, interesting things to share. Just check out the photos and see if you agree.

Please remove the picture where the towel is conveniently the same shade of coffee as my shirt, therefore making me appear rather ROTUND. Your dear daughter.
