Monday 8/31

First, let me say HAPPY BIRTHDAY KELLY!!! Today my awesome and sweet sister in law Kelly turns 13!
we slept in a little this morning, by which i mean, like 8:30. We got up, had breakfast, and did a little last minute style photography, since we were leaving the Island at 2 PM.
here are some of the shots Scott took:
The walkway toward the pool that our room faced:



A shot of said pool from the Ground:



Walking past Christina's Restaurant out to the beach path, and entry to the beach itself:


The beach Path near our hotel:




The Sea Breeze Cafe


The path heading south:



The exit from the beach path to d*talipapa


We made another short trip to d*talipapa to finish some souvenier shopping (more bargaining!) and then took a couple pictures on the beach before heading back to the room to finish packing.



Here I am at the steps to the Kai Regency Spa:

We finished packing and vacated our room right on time at noon, then had a margarita in the hotel lobby bar before heading to the Sea Breeze Cafe for one last meal. We walked on the beach a little one last time, then headed to the lobby to meet our transport and do the whole travel process in reverse. it was uneventful, in a very good way, up until 6:30 when it was time to board our flight in Kalibo and it wasn't there. seemed like many other flights were boarding, some from the same airline going to the same destination, but not ours. eventually though (i guess it was really only about a half hour late, but i was already cranky about having to leave the island at 2 PM for a 7PM flight. We got back to Manila Safe and sound, as did our luggage, and after a quick shower upon arrival back at the hotel, i was out like a light!

  2. we are here in the "rainy season" so it rained a few times a day while we were there for literally 3 min or so. otherwise it was gloriously sunny and about 80-85 degrees- over 100% humidity though, so it feels way hotter away from the beach where there is a breeze.
