Backpacking to Boracay

Would you be able to resist your unico hijo's pleading brown eyes? That's precisely what pushed me to backpack with Miguel to Boracay. I had given up finding an available flight out to Bora, but of course the internet has vast resources and I found available seats ten hours before the scheduled flight. I just had to bring Miguel to Boracay. So off we went and here are some photos from our trip:



And here's a glimpse of Boracay:
