Reflection About Vacation
Last April 23, two of my aunts from the USA came home for vacation. It’s been a year since I last saw Aunt Sheree who introduced me to her sister Aunt Vicky, which was my first time to meet her in person. Their vacation was scheduled on April 23 until May 6. As they arrived in Manila, they hit the clubs to experience the Manila nightlife. The next morning, we immediately flew to Cebu for a connecting cruise to Surigao. After arriving at Surigao we then took a small ferry to Siargao Islands where our adventure begins! Siargao is a teardrop shaped island situated 800 kilometers southeast of Manila in the province of Surigao del Norte, which is also at the northeastern tip of Mindanao. It’s approximately 437 square kilometres where it is home to a vast area of coral reefs, small points, and white sandy beaches. There are no direct flights from Manila, you have to fly via Cebu. Cebu Pacific Air is the only airline servicing flights to Siargao. There are two ways to get yourself in Siargao. You may take the following routes: If you’re a traveller who would like to make the most out of your trip, I suggest taking the latter route. You can take a day tour in Cebu and wander around Magellan’s Park or swim with the Whale Sharks in Oslob or go canyoneering in Kawasan falls. As per my auntie’s itinerary, we took the latter route and made the most out of our one-day day tour in Cebu. In a decade, Cebu has become one of the most developed provinces in the Philippines. It has

Ray Hinton's Reflective Essay: Alternative Spring Break

Separation And Reunification Among Immigrant Families, By Reyna Grande
