Folks,
Just got back from Boracay. We had a blast! The snorkeling was fantastic. The prettiest coral I've ever seen. Also, we went on an excursion that took us to the nicest beach I've ever seen. I'll post lots of pictures when I get back. We felt safe all time, except when my 12 year old went off on a motorcycle ride with one of her aunt's. The roads are messed up and a lot of the same pollution you see in most Filipino cities. I highly recomend Boracay for a vacation!
About taking the kids... I strongly recommend it to anyone considering it. The kids have been thourghly entertained. They're even planning on coming back. The best family vaction I ever had with my kids. Lot's of relatives to keep them busy. We got a big instant family the kids have really needed.
