Cinco de Mayo at Puerto Galera

Time really flies so fast that one can easily lose track of it. Moreso when one gets older. Last May 5, Chabs & I celebrated our much anticipated first wedding anniversary. And what better way to celebrate it by doing what we love most. Traveling.

Since it was summertime, it was a perfect time to go to a beach. We had some places in mind and after briefly considering going to either Boracay or Bohol, we ultimately decided to do otherwise due to the prohibitive cost in going to those vacation hotspots. Although we're still planning to go to those places in the near future. And we're looking forward to it.

With Bohol & Bora out of the picture, Chabs & I thought Puerto Galera would be perfect. And it was.

I've been to Puerto twice already & Chabs once so we know what to expect in the island. We burnt our skins, ate grilled food, I had a henna tattoo, she had her hair braided, we had a good massage on the beach & partied at night. Plus I got to try the banana boat. And boy, it was a blast even if my whole body felt sore after. But still, it's one ride I'd recommend to all. Overall, our Puerto experience, like all our past travels, was perfect. And much of the credit goes to Rianne, our travel agent who made sure we had a very nice place to stay in. She was so intent in making life easier for us she more than exceeded the bounds of customer service.

Looking back, we had a charmed 1st year of marriage. We always say that we are a lucky couple and it sure is that way. We see other couple's marriages and compare it to ours and we can't help but feel very lucky indeed. Sure there are the usual petty quarrels & disappointments but the happy moments far outnumber them. And these moments galvanize our relationship even more.
This is our first year together and we know that we will be celebrating many many more anniversaries. And consequently, a lot more traveling is in the pipeline.
