After a crazy birthday celebration, we didn’t fly out to Boracay, Philippines until 10pm the next day. We would fly from Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC) to Manila and then to Caticlan. In Caticlan we would have to take a quick 10-minute ferry ride to Boracay. But rarely is traveling that simple.We didn’t exchange currency in HCMC because we thought we would get a better rate when we got to Manila. However, our flight was delayed getting out of HCMC which put us at a little bit of a time crunch in Manila. Once we landed in Manila we had about a hour to get out of the terminal we landed in, go through customs, get our boarding passes, go through security again, and find our terminal. Thank God we got lucky! As we were running to get our boarding passes I saw the lady take the sign for Caticlan…
