Boracay seemed like a place I’d never visit ever since my son died in a beach resort seven and a half years ago. No, my son didn’t die in [tag]Boracay[/tag]. I am glad that I took this blogger excursion which I wrote in a brief entry, Boracay and the Dream . I did not write details of the most wonderful three day vacation I’ve had in a long time. So this time I will illustrate my three day vacation with my fellow Photo and Travel Bloggers in this photo essay.
Before I start off, I’d like to thank the sponsors Microtel Inns & Suites Boracay, in partnership with South East Asian Airlines (SEAIR) and Zuzuni Boutique Hotel & Restaurant for this blogger excursion. I know it’s a first of its kind and I’m grateful for the “familiarization tour” for bloggers which used to be offered to traditional media and travel agents.

It was 5:30 AM when I received a call from Abe asking where I was. I said I was still at home. “Our flight was moved to 7:00 AM. Hurry” It was a good thing I was already ready to go and arrived at the airport by 6:00 AM. Checkout counter closes 45 minutes before departure. Here, seven out of 13 bloggers board the first flight of SeAir (otherwise known as South East Asian Airlines) to Boracay via Caticlan.
