Meditate on God's goodness in Boracay , Philippines

Going to Boracay was the first on my bucket list - things I would like to accomplish.  I am thankful to God ,to all people who made it possible for  me to walk through the white and partly beige sand. I smelled & breathed the fresh air and witnessed how life went by  in this amazing place called Boracay.
This trip was in deed therapeutic, it gave me inner strength. I felt God's guidance throughout my Boracay and sickness journey. Moreover, I fought my two years battle w/ illness courageously despite the fact   that  I was very afraid of some medical treatments. I believed God had healed me through the serene nature  in the Philippines and the "many helping hands" - they are great, kindhearted  people who showed their  love ,concern & patience for me especially during  my "anxious & fearful moments".   
Boracay is more or less one hour by plane from  Manila. We bought  4 one way Cebu Pacific  promo airfare tickets    going to Caticlan during the  trade exhibit in Megamall at the 5th floor , few months  ahead of time.   By chance I got another promo 4  Zest air tickets  going back to Manila a week before the flight.  From Boracay we need to   go to Kalibo  Int'l Airport  by van to ride the plane going to Manila. I usually  call airline companies to check out promo airfare tickets  because I'm having difficulty availing promos through Internet. Promo airfare tickets are usually on sale 3 months or  more  before the actual flight .  It was  only by chance that I got the zest air tickets on promo one week before the flight. Truly, it was God's provisions.

Do you know this song ? walk, walk, walk in the light, walking in the light of God. Life has so many uncertainties . I just keep on walking, moving by faith.... until I reached  this delightful place - God's Boracay  and other therapeutic places in the Philippines. Gladly,  God's  healing  came two years after.


Boracay Beach Chalets Resort is so Pinoy in design . If God permits, next time I'd like to stay in this place , so homey. among all the resorts there this place is so close to my heart because I'm a simple-hearted traveler and the ambiance here reminds me of  Pinoy culture.
We stayed in La Carmela  in station 2 ,we bought the promo accommodation for 4 in  Megamall trade exhibit .  This is a good deal however , we realized that  it  is better  to get two-way promo  airfare tickets first then just find hotel accommodation when you reached Boracay.  One thing nice about Boracay is that there are affordable accommodations in station 2 &3 . Of course, during peak season  like Holy week you really have to make early reservations. Hotels in station 1 is upscale. Anyway, we enjoyed going to the beachfront on that side . Walk going to  station 1, so wonderful. There's another place ,Alice in Wonderland hotel ( station 2 ) facing the beach ;they have also  affordable cottages  for rent for families located at the back road not fronting the beach . Photo below is La Carmela de Boracay also a nice place to stay.
Boracay is indeed a place for healing , relaxation, meditation and fun. My siblings love it too. Thank you for viewing.  Pls. comment and share your thoughts. May God's healing be upon sick people . Cheers!
