The experience

We landed at Caticlan after barely sleeping on the plane, kind of dazed, and I just remember seeing the MyBoracayGuide logo on this little window at booth 16: right where they said it would be. A woman waved us over and handed me cold water (which I didn’t realize I needed until that moment). She smiled and checked our names off her list. It was humid but not unbearable, just that sticky air you get near the sea. We shuffled our bags along as she led us out past the parking lot: felt like she’d done this a thousand times.

The drive to the jetty port was quick, maybe seven minutes? Our guide chatted about how busy Boracay gets in April, then handed us our boat tickets and said not to worry about any extra fees. That part was honestly such a relief. I hate lining up for random tickets when you’re tired. The bangka boat ride across Tablas Strait was louder than I expected (engine chugging and salt spray in my face), but the water was this wild blue color, almost cartoonish. I tried to ask what “bangka” means in Tagalog. Li laughed when I tried to say it in Mandarin, probably butchered it.

Once we hit Boracay Island, another guy from the team was waiting right there. He helped us into an e-trike (I’d never been in one before, kind of bumpy but fun) and pointed out White Beach as we passed by. The ride took maybe 15 or 20 minutes depending on traffic, but honestly, I just stared out at all the coconut trees and people zipping by on scooters. When we finally pulled up at our resort lobby, it felt like we’d already started our vacation before even checking in. I still think about that first salty breeze stepping off the boat, you know?
