END OF THE TOURHOME SWEET HOME

Day 1 (Travel to Boracay Island)

It was so cold when I wake up in the morning and I’m still sleepy. I packed

important things to bring and I prepared myself because I’m so excited to go to

Boracay. Then I eat my breakfast. Actually it’s my second time to visit there,

the first was I with my family.

I went to school at 6 o’clock in the morning and waited for my other

classmates to come. After we were all complete, we left at exactly 8:30 in the

morning and reach Boracay Island at exactly 12:00 noon. It was a hectic land

travel.

After which, we looked for a hotel to check in, then we take our lunch. After

meals, we proceed to our room and settle our things and take a few minutes

rest. Suddenly our professor gave us our t-shirt for our seminar.

Then, we prepared ourselves for the seminar about bartending, food and

beverage, at Crown Regency Resort and Center.

We ended at 7:00 in the evening and then we take our dinner. I am quite

exhausted with what I have experienced all day long. After dinner, we proceed

to our room in Bamboo Resort hotel to change our outfits so we may hang out

eve to experience the evening events in Boracay. Then after an hour, we

return to our room to take a rest.

Day 2 (Boracay Island Tour)

I wake early in the morning and woke up my classmates (Sheena, Kimberly,

Maribell, and Joebelle) to swim at the beach. After that, we go back to our

room and take a bath, and prepare ourselves for breakfast. Then we return

again to our room to prepare for the tour at Crown Regency Hotel.

During our tour, we take some pictures and interviewed some foreigners

and natives as one of the requirements of our project.

After the tour, when we still have free time, we went to talipapa and

bought some souvenirs for my family and friends.

Then we return to Bamboo Resort for our lunch and after which, we take

some rest to the next session of the seminar at the Boracay Tropics Resort

Hotel.

After the session, around 6:30 in the evening, we have our buffet dinner at

next beach resort. I really enjoyed the food at the buffet. After dinner, we

return to our room and change our clothes and have some fun at Station 2. We

took some pictures and enjoyed the night at Boracay.

After which, we feel tired of strolling around, we went back to our room

again and have some midnight snacks and take a rest.

Day 3 (Island hopping and departure from Boracay to Antique)

This was the last day of our tour. After take our breakfast, we grab the

opportunity of our free time to swim at the beach with all of my classmates.

Then we take a bath and changes our clothes and went shopping. Then we

returned to the hotel for our lunch and after which, we prepare our things for

departure. I’m so excited to go home…

After 5 hours hectic travel, at last, home sweet home!!!
