8 hours to Boracay

Day 1
Nov 8, 2012
Boracay

After 7 years, I finally was able to go back to Boracay. My friend and former teammate Lara (and her boyfriend Wes) went back to the Philippines after almost 2 years in the US and a few of us - Marianne, Susanne, Migs, Milton, Jay, Reg, and myself - decided to join her vacation in Boracay.

Our Zest Air flight was supposed to leave at 12:10 PM but we were only able to board the aircraft at 3:45 PM. And to make the matter worse that it already was, it took another hour before the  plane took off. It was already 8 PM when we checked-in at La Carmela de Boracay resort hotel at station 2.

It took us the whole day to get to Boracay but we were not about to call it a night. After dinner at Andok's, we decided to head to station 1 for a taste of the renowned Jonah's shakes so we can tick it off our list of the top 10 things to do in Boracay. If we knew how far Jonah's in station 1 was from our hotel, we probably would have thought twice - I have never imagined the stretch of Boracay was that long. But the shakes were good (a bit too sweet actually) so I guess it was worth the 30-minute walk.
