my tour heaven,Boracay

t was about a 20 minute Japan holiday across to the island and we landed at the port. Hundreds of tricycles were lined up to take tourists to the various resorts. We rode for about 10 minutes, and then we had to walk along a laneway for about 200 meters. When we got to the end of the lane, we were on the beach...right beside our hotel...the whitest sand and the bluest water I have ever seen! http://liuli2005.blogspot.com/2009/03/apply-for-passport-for-summer-travel.html
Once everyone got there, we piled into our Minibus, and off we went. Kalibo is about 90 minutes from Catilcan, which is the port to Boracay. It was a very nice drive, and lots of great scenery.
First to the grocery for snacks and liquor...then trying to get through the traffic in Kalibo to where we met our bus. Since Ati Atihan was getting started, traffic was horrendous. Imagine the busiest traffic you can imagine, and then take away stop signs and traffic signals.
then We got to the bus station, but some of the group was not there yet, so we went across the street for a couple of beers at a pool hall - pool halls are pretty much the same wherever you go.
in this trip,We met first for coffee at a pretty nice coffee shop and then over to the venue for an outside lunch. And it was a great lunch, and lots of Allan's old friends from throughout the Philippines, and some others came from overseas too.
