Hello Guys, I'd Like to share to you My Unforgettable Holiday with My Husband and @jsjsmtaylor at The Beautiful island of Boracay. It's already been 3 years but since I found some photos, I'd like to tell you all about it, so Let's Start!

Last February 2015, My dear Husband Andrew Lee Taylor surprised Me and Jacob by coming all the way from England to the Philippines, and what made it more surprising is that he said that we were gonna Take a Family Holiday to Boracay and it was our 19th Wedding Anniversary also, to think that we could Celebrate it over to a Beautiful Island of the Philippines was just so overwhelming and amazing. Me and Jacob were so Delighted as Boracay is One of the Most Famous Destinations to a lot of People and around the World, it's a Place that needs to be in your Bucket List for sure. We lived in Dumaguete City the Capital of Negros. Oriental and Boracay is a Very far place from ours because we had to pass through Bacolod of Negros Occidental and it would take seven hours by Car but because We wanted to have a trip to remember so instead of making the trip short, we went for a Road trip so it could be more enjoyable and Wonderful to see Mother Nature on Our way to a Beautiful Island. My Husband was so Happy and Enjoyed Driving to Bacolod because His Son Jacob and The Woman of His Dreams and that would be Me hahaha, the Three of us had the Most Enjoyable Road Trip of a Lifetime. When we got to bacolod we had to Sleep a Night since we arrived at Bacolod very late and it was a Long Driving. The Next day we had to leave the Car since Andy ( My Husbands Nickname ) didn't know the road from Ilo-Ilo to Catiklan very well, not compared to Bacolod, so we had to take a Boat from Bacolod to Ilo-Ilo and then when had to take a Bus or a Van from Ilo-Ilo to Catiklan, we decided to rent a Van so we could get a more comfortable rest for a while until we arrive there since there was a Driver, after that we had take another boat from catiklan to Boracay and even though it was a Long Journey, the Excitement to be there made it All Worth It.

We Arrived at Boracay in the afternoon and Took a Pedicab to our Hotel called Blue Marina that . It was getting late so we took the time to walk a little bit, have dinner and took the time to get some rest and sleep. The Next Morning it was a Day that we were gonna Enjoy and Remember, We went to The Beach and we were so Lucky because our hotel was so Near to the Beach so it was easy to remember our way back if we ever go too far. Jacob took some Pictures Since he was still a bit young, he wasn't into taking a Lot of Pictures, he wanted to Enjoy the Holiday and do it His Way I guess Haha. It was Nearly Lunch time so we ate at a Restaurant that served these Big Prawns and OMG they were so Delicious, We also ate Some Oysters, we All had Fun eating that even Jacob forgot to take a Lot of Photos. After that we went back to the Beach to Enjoy the Summer Breeze and the Beautiful View, we took a swim together and relaxed to the Flow and Little waves of the Sea and enjoyed the Element Water. It was Getting a Little too Hot so Me and Jacob got out and we Dried Up ourselves, Andy took a Little more of the Sun because he wanted to get a Tan, but eventually he came out also but after he dried himself, he took a little bit of Sun Block and then bathed in the sun again. Jacob in the other hand was looking for a " Henna Artist " because he wanted to experience what it would look like for a Month on his skin, I was Reading a Book and just relaxing because after this we're gonna go back to the hotel to rest a little and then get ready for dinner. Jacob came back with a Henna tattoo that said " I'M A BRITINO " and then he told me that he wanted to take some pictures of Me so we walked around and he took some until Andy was finish bathing in the Sun.

We Finished and we went back to the hotel to wash up, get changed, rest a little and be ready for our Dinner. Andy Reserved us a Place that served Seafood and a lot of Fresh Tropical Fruits, also there was so many kind of fishes and shell fish to choose from since it was buffet style. After finishing Dinner we had Some Drinks, well Me and Jacob had some Soft Beer while Andy had some Hard and Strong beer, while drinking, we sat down near the shore and watched The Stars above and Listened to the waves crashing slowly, We all spoke with each other about our lives and what has happened in the Philippines and in England. Me and Jacob Thanked Andy for Giving us a very Nice and Enjoyable Holiday even though it was a the First Day.

On the Next Day, we went to some other stations in Boracay to see what activities were going on, We ate at some small stalls that served different kinds of Food that some of them were Strange but Unique and cooked in so many different Ways. There were a lot of Buffets going on in every station but we wouldn't have all the time trying so many kinds of Dishes so we Went to some Stores that had so Many products from snacks to clothing to jewelry to health products to personal hygiene and many more that were made from natural and tropical components. When it came to doing something extreme like riding a banana boat or getting on the Big Ball bungee , We All had Some fear, All of Us were afraid from riding the banana boat because we've seen it go so fast and for the bungee? We were All afraid for heights, besides, Me and Andy are a Bit Old I Guess haha, and maybe Extreme stuff like those might not be the good idea, Jacob should've tried it but he wanted to have fun with His Parents than enjoying it Alone, anyways, it was getting into the afternoon and we were lucky to get some photos of a Sunset, On the day we arrived at Boracay there was a Sunset but we were a little bit Late, but this time, it was that Time that the Three of Us could get A Picture All together with a Sunset Background, we didn't have the Best Camera Phones, but All that matters that these photos just by One look at it, it takes you back in time to those Happy Moments and Memories with your Loved Ones at a Place that was Beautiful and Wonderful.

In the Evening, we went out again for Dinner, This Time we went to a Restaurant called Mesa, we thought we couldn't get in since the Place was so Full with People, but actually we did and really fast. I don't know how we got in so Fast, I Guess we were just Lucky at the Moment, we chose from a Large Menu and Ordered food that we haven't Tried, Jacob was busy Enjoying his Food that he forgot to take Pictures, After that we went to this Coconut Bar where they Make Tropical Beverages that You thought were Only in Hawaii.

We Enjoyed Every second here in Boracay and Will never forget about it even though We Were Only at Boracay for Three Nights and Three Days because jacobs School Year hasn't Finished yet, So I guess you already know what's gonna happen and where we're gonna head back, This is My Story about My Unforgettable Holiday With My Husband and Son, I Hope You Like it, and Since Boracay this year is gonna get some chanes and hopefully be much better like before, I'd Like to Say " Thank You Boracay, Thanks a lot for the Sweet Memories You Gave Us, See You Soon " Thanks Everyone and God Bless!!!
