My *Fam Bam in Boracay Island

      Revisiting Boracay after 18 long years was a good decision. This time the island has so much improved from cottages to five-star hotels and resorts. It was the first time for my teenage boys.  Of course, I want them to visit first the most talked about and most visited Boracay Island before the other famous tourist destinations in the Philippines.

       Despite the island was crowded on a summer we still had a good time in Boracay. It’s not just the pristine white beaches, water sports, some shops and nightlife it offers but because it was our first family travel after Daddy’s been away 2 years for work. It was all about more spent time with our children, family bonding with some special friends in a wonderful place.

My Boys!
 

       There are dozens of undeveloped beaches; turquoise waters and reefs where one can go island hopping, diving, snorkeling or swimming.

Banana Boat Ride is fun!

 I think Boracay is a good place for  family travel because it offers different activities whether you're a beach lover or a city dweller.
