Touchdown Iloilo and Smallville

Describing my Iloilo-Aklan trip is just like poring over a Christmas gift for Richie Rich. Everytime people ask me, “How’s Boracay?“, I get that glazed look in my eye and the rest just follows. I was reminded again of our fateful trip in the first quarter of 2011. Believe me when I say that I have no idea when are the best seasons in Boracay to go to. I just entered my card information and I was ready to leave Cebu in February for the islands. Fast forward 9 months later when our piso-fare promo was about to take place, the boyfriend pored over our tickets and realized that we leave from Cebu to Iloilo then Caticlan. What’s wrong with it? 5 hours is what’s wrong with it! In my haste to grab the piso-fare promo and going cheap (yuck, right, says my bestfriend), I forgot about the difference between arriving in Caticlan airport and Iloilo Airport. Besides the fact that Iloilo airport is absolutely HUGE and new, one has to take the bus from Iloilo to Caticlan Jetty Port.

For a roundtrip fare of P250 for 2 people from Cebu Pacific (jealous!), we arrived at the Iloilo International Airport (ILO) at past dinner time. I didn’t mind the rain though because the boyfriend has a friend in Iloilo who was kind enough to pick us up. Thanks Albert!
