Boracay (Nov 2012) Part 2

If yesterday was really cloudy and rainy, today was as picture-perfect as can be! The sun was out full blast and we were deliciously baking the whole day. We basically soaked in the brine from sun-up to sun-down. I feel physically and emotionally disinfected by the ocean, the way we soak wounds in the sea to heal them. We’ve also been eating like starved swines since we got here. We had lunch at Dos Mestizos and tried out their famous Paella Valenciana. Absolutely delicious to the very last grain. And tonight we’ll be dining on Moroccan cuisine at the Kasbah. Had the sun not set, we’d still probably be in the water. Why do vacations have to end?

Boracay (Nov 2012)

I really needed a break. I don’t remember needing a break this badly in a looong time! With book 2 finally submitted and a ridiculously heavy December waiting for us, I need to recharge my physical and mental batteries. And so, we decided to take a quick Boracay weekend. We almost missed our flight this morning, not because of traffic, but because of the perennial parking shortage at NAIA T3. I don’t know why they don’t address this major glitch in operations. So frustrating. But since we made it, forget the bad vibes. We were three hours delayed but it was all good. We landed in Kalibo, so with the bus, boat, and tricycle rides, we got to the resort just shortly before 6pm. Loved the room (I’ll post photos later). Headed out for a hearty Mexican dinner, got Jonah’s papaya milk shake, then headed back to sleep early. We’ll just do all the activities tomorrow after a good night’s sleep. I actually don’t care what we do, I just love the idea that I’m on vacation for the next three days. Pure heaven. ❤️

I wish I did something like this last night…
