One Of My Best Boracay Trip

When the year 2012 started, I could feel an even more stressful work at the office.  That's why I am always looking forward to every vacation that I have scheduled.  First was this long weekend in January.  My kaladkarin friends and I went to Bolinao, Pangasinan.  I enjoyed this vacation although quite tiring because of the long travel time.  Come this February, I've been anticipating my Boracay trip.  Ever since I first set foot in Boracay last 2007, I am always eager and looking forward to visiting it again.

This Boracay trip is one of my best.  Simply because I get to enjoy and relax during the 3 days and 2 nights vacation.  I didn't do any water activities.  I just shop, took photos, enjoy the beach and of course eat!  For me, it was the most relaxing Boracay trip I have ever experienced.  This is exactly what I need for having a stressful environment at work.

We stayed at Tan's Guesthouse.  Rate is Php 3,000 per night for a room good for 4, inclusive of breakfast.  The room is basic with 2 double size bed, toilet and bath, an a/c, a small tv, storage area and a veranda.  Our room is located at the annex of Tan's.  The sliding door is quite difficult to handle.  It seems that the key has been misaligned so it gives us quite a hard time locking and unlocking the door.  Another concern was that the room doesn't have any mirror.  No woman can stand a room without a mirror.  So it's hard for us to just see ourselves with our pocket mirror.
