What a special 2 weeks I have had. 2 weeks with my family.. in paradise. What more could you ask for :) I arrived in boracay, philippines coming over from khao lak and was dropped at sandcastle resort! Wow! It is a 3 story, 7 room resort in which our group took up 2 (incl. Penthouse and roof)... Right on the water, in the heart of station one white beach, right in the action! Fantastic! Coming up the stairs, lugging my backpack, hot and sweaty I see mum in her...
