FINALLY!!!! I've finally arrived at my first destination (It only took me a whole weekend to get here!). I left California on the 28th and arrived here at 1 in the morning on the first of July!!! But let me tell you... So far it has been well worth it. I mean I had a huge bump in the road (That I don't want to get into) but there is somewhat of a learning process when traveling alone internationally; and lets just say that I'm still learning. The crazy thing was I had to take a 45 minute flight to Kalibo then I had to take a 15 minute boat ride to Boracay. My resort is nothing short of amazing! (Pictures of my resort can be found on the Travel page of my blog) The hype surrounding the white sandy beaches were all true. The sun is out and when it hits the white sand it takes your breath away. When I first arrived there was a typhoon. I've never seen anything like it. It was crazy.... There was water everywhere but I was wet from sweating because of the humidity; which made it pretty cool. I think it was the first time I've ever been hot in a storm. Its 8 in the morning right now so that means it should be around 5 o'clock in the afternoon back home. I know the title of my post says that its day two but technically its more like day three (The time difference is killing me). So far this trip has put me through an emotional roller coaster. I went from being amazed; then highly irritated; to almost turning around and going back home (referring to that bump in the road); to falling in love with the country all in a weekend. One of the mistakes that I made was forgetting where I was. When traveling to the Philippines one has to realize that, even though its gorgeous, it is still a third world country. If you keep this concept in mind you should be alright; the beauty of hindsight.
