Apulit Island Getaway Day 1- Surprise Surprise!!!!

With more than 800 good shots from trip, it surely was tough to pick out the best to be posted on our official article. With all the memorable moments, side trips and realizations we had, I'm convinced that writing about the whole experience is a must!

For our official WIM feature, I intended it not to be the conventional long article type feature but instead, I made it into a sort of photo story to show how wonderful the place is. And yes, the place is really something! And so now, I'll be sharing with you our happenings, my thoughts as well as insider stuff about the whole experience in full color as always!

Day 1.


Frank and I checked-in at 6:00am for our 7:30am flight at the Island Transvoyager Inc .
Frank is quite known to be a late comer but good thing,we are always either early or just in time whenever we have trips.



After checking in, we were asked to stay at the guest lounge were the guests can relax and have some refreshments. I may say that the lounge is quite chic!

partner Frank started goofing around really early this time! hihihi 

of course we would never miss the chance to take photos before take off!

my camera Maggie ready for another adventure!


we were captivated by the clouds!
I still couldn't believe I'm going to Palawan. I whispered countless "thank yous" to the universe!


these girls are truly missing a lot!

air pressure building up! it was nasty!


I love this shot! Frank nailed it again!


gotcha!



we had no idea what to expect! We just choose to savor each moment!

we arrived at the TayTay Airport more than and hour later I think


we took more photos while waiting for the jeep to take us to the Jetty Port


at last!

Frank getting excited! hihihihi

the fun has just started!

we were given some moist towels to freshen up



we were also given cups of hot ginger tea to help us relax

thank you partner!

their coconut cookies were really good! Frank ate more than 2 I think



heheheh Don Frank while cruisin' the river! The boat ride takes around an hour




a candid of me while setting up my cam just before reaching the island



we were then welcomed with native necklaces plus a festive song and dance number by the staff!





as they went on singing, we were served with refreshments and crunchy cashew nuts



check in time came and I still couldn't believe what I saw. It finally materialized! I never thought they'd give us the best room! Cottage #51


our room was really neat!


I find the bathroom to be a bit narrow though but it was ok




El Nido is dedicated in nature preservation so they only use biodegradable materials


hmmmmm


sooo happy with the whole thing

Frank enjoying our favorite puto pao! He always buys yummy Puto Paos when we meet!

after settling our stuff, we went to the clubhouse for lunch


I love the ambiance and outdoor feel


since we had no scheduled activities that day, we just snoozed to regain energy.

a dinner by the sea???? OMG!! 

soooo memorable!


no diet that time! hihihi i think we tried everything!

teeeee heeeeee I sooooo enjoy pigging out with him!

i'm sooo glad he's getting chubby and all! I'm doing a good job i think!

after chatting for hours by the beach, we decided to get back to the cottage past 11pm i believe. We were surprised to see our beds neatly arranged. The mood was really perfect! We found these notes written on leaves! They were sooo lovely! Nice touch!



awwwwww perfect!






Thank you UNIVERSE!
