Triple the FUN: Boracay Bloggers' Tour

Yes, The Boracay Sunset is Calling me, that with the help of SEAIR and Microtel. 
What? How? Why?

Days ago I learn about this Bloggers' Tour to Boracay, thanks to FilipinoTraveler. So why not give it a shot, after all there's nothing wrong with trying.

I just came from Boracay 3 weeks ago during my 2-week Solo Backpacking Trip. I must admit that I even planned to erase that beautiful island from the itinerary because I know that it will easily deplete my P250/day budget. But that became more of a challenge and I just convinced that Boracay's sunset is one of the best in the world. I did the trip telling myself to stay just 1 night and 1 day.

I just need to photograph the Boracay sunset and then leave ASAP. I arrived pass 6:00pm, meaning the sun already set. I have to extend my stay and wait for tomorrow's sunset. The next day came and guess what; it was too cloudy, sorry no sunset for me. I need to stay for another day, hoping the next day would be great for that ever-eluding sunset. At 5:30pm the next day it was raining like crazy. I need to accept that this trip is not for photographing that sunset. Upset but at least I have one good reason to be back.

I consider myself a backpacker and so I need to save as much as possible in every trip I have. That would mean no staying on the hotel, no comfortable bed and no hot shower. After all I'm backpacking. I think I almost forgot how to insert use those card keys (insert weird smiley here). Would Microtel's chiropractic beds pamper me better than my hammock?

I already tried all the airlines here in the Philippines except for one- SEAIR. Therefore, I cannot compare them with others. Known for its "paradise-to-paradise" destination, I want to know if they are really serious on their mission "to satisfy customer needs and surpass their expectation." If that is their goal, then I can't wait to board the next flight to Boracay.

So I just want to thank SEAIR for this opportunity for me not only to meet fellow bloggers (that is amazing and enough for me already), but to photograph one of the most beautiful sunsets in the world. That's double the FUN. But wait there's more! Microtel adds to the fun by offering Mediterranean inspired hotel for this trip. Now that would triple the FUN. Would you be willing to make this a reality?
