Preparing for the trip to Boracay,
My sister, my mom and I were gathered in our dining table when my sister brought out the topic.
"This Christmas, why don't we go to Boracay.", said my sister.
"That's a good suggestion, since only you and I were the ones who were able to go to Boracay. Dylan (my nephew) and Summer (my niece) and your younger sister (which is me) hasn't been there yet.", said my mom.
"Yey, that's awesome!", I said.
"That's great.", said Dylan.
"I can't wait and I'm so excited.", said Summer.
Then this begins the planning of our trip to go to Boracay for the coming Christmas 2018.
As usual, it was my sister who was tasked to book our hotel accommodations there in Boracay. She researched the affordable yet good places to stay. She carefully read the reviews about several hotels in Boracay. Then at last she decided to try to book a hotel room at Hey Jude for 12/24/18 - 12/27/18. Hey Jude has good reviews and free breakfast every day but the free breakfast is only good for four since the room that we are going to occupy is only good for four persons. In addition, Hey Jude is also close to the beach although it's not really a beach front property.
So we were all so excited to go to Boracay but we didn't expect too much about it because we know that Boracay is a top destination and it's hard to find and book an accommodation. We were so relieved when my sister was at last finally able to book our accommodation at Hey Jude Hotel in Boracay. The Hey Jude hotel that we booked for is located very near station 2, there's also a Hey Jude hotel near station 3 but it's more expensive there.
So after my sister was able to book our accommodation at Hey Jude or even before that, I worked hard and saved money for my pocket money to bring with me to Boracay. Basically I planned to buy some souvenirs like key chains, coin purses and a shirt with the boracay print on them.
So the next days, I packed up some clothes for the trip. My sister said that were gonna go to Iloilo on the 21st and were gonna sleep at a hotel in the night of the 21st so that we can leave Iloilo early and go to Caticlan by the 22nd. So that it will still be early in the afternoon when we arrive in Boracay on the 22nd. We all thought that it was a bright idea. Also on the way back home from Boracay, we will also sleep at a hotel again in Iloilo and then the next day we will go home. We all thought that it's a wonderful idea.
My mom's former driver named Vic will bring us using our vehicle to Banago Port in Bacolod and he will also pick us up in Banago Port in Bacolod when we go back home. One of our relatives will be left to man our house while we were away on vacation until the time we will come home. My mother will pay him and we will also give him some goodies from Boracay like a shirt and a keychain.
After buying all our tickets, we all sat and waited at the predeparture area. After quite a while, the ferry arrived and unloaded all it's passengers. The workers on the ferry prepared the ferry for it's next batch of passengers. After a few minutes, the ferry was ready and me and my family went inside the ferry and sat at our designated seats. A few minutes after, when all passengers are all aboard, the ferry left for Iloilo City.
Going to Boracay
The day has arrived when we are finally leaving our home to go to Iloilo, sleep there at a hotel for a night and then leave early morning the next day for Caticlan and from Caticlan to Boracay.
Me and my family all got busy doing last minute preparations. We had breakfast, checked if all things that we needed to bring are already in our bags and put all our bags inside the car.
When we're all done with the last minute preparations, we bid goodbye to Ontoy, my relative who will be staying at our house while we're away. I
