We started 2013 with a week long vacation at Boracay, although it started out bad, things worked out for the better and the whole experience was relaxing and favorable. The first problem came when we booked our flight with Zest Air months ago, something that we will never do again. We were thinking that the flight will be quick compared to our Bohol trip last year, but we were disappointed to find out that the flight was delayed. We had to wait for more than 3 hours! And the sad part about it is that the Zest Air employees seem to just accept this delay as something normal. I think their manager or their entire company are missing thread inserts in their heads! When asked, they are not fazed or worried about the delay or about their waiting customers, looks like this is how their flights are everyday!
Thankfully NAIA Terminal 4 had a play area for kids, so they were able to take the 3 hour waiting by playing. We got to Boracay 4 hours late, turning our planned afternoon travel time from Kalibo to Katiclan into a boring night drive.

I’m not one who goes for extreme physical activities, so I usually pass when I’m invited to climb mountains and to trek. But I when I was younger, when I was still a Boy Scout – I loved trekking. I probably lost interest on it as age and worries took its toll on my body.
Still, I hope that I can do trekking in the future. Especially when my sons grow up, I’d love to be able to go up some isolated mountain and just enjoy nature as it is meant to be enjoyed. We’d sure be well equipped and aside from the usual Treksta gear, we will be bringing high tech items for convenience.
Aside from GoKarts, slides are Zyke’s favorite. He has tried a myriad of slides – from the small slide at small play-pens when he was still very young, to the bigger slides at mall playgrounds, even the high water slides at Splash Island. I have contemplated on attaching a slide to his bed before – just to make it fun but sadly I’m not much of a carpenter and I’m not good with tools like pliers and even L-handle latches.
Anyway here is Zyke having a good time at a giant slide in a nearby children’s play area:
