Marissa, we had dinner last night with your friends! We took a pic, and I’ll send it to you later. Very nice gals!

Marinel, yes, you’re absolutely right about the geckos, but man were they all over the ceilings! Crazy site to see when in the middle of a dark island. But luckily they were not in the rooms, which really were okay. The beds weren’t “fluffly” like many other hotels, but remember that filipinos traditionally slept on mats (banig), so these were an upgraded version. Too bad we weren’t told of the Ahmani cottages just off to the side! They were very nice! Faced the ocean with their personal jacuzzis. More on that later. Have pics and don’t want to spoil how the trip started to unfold.

Matty, yes, we had magical buko every day!!!! Wish you were here!
