fh_trips | Boracay Island, Philippines, Friday (Daytime)

Award-winning, iconic, unforgettable. We're spending the week at the luxury resort Discovery Shores Boracay Island. Perfectly positioned in Station 1 of White Beach, experience the powder-soft white sand, fiery sunsets and pulsating nightlife of the world-famous Boracay Island.

Students are in one bedroom suites, which include a spacious living area, a nook, a bar, and a separate bedroom with two double sized beds ~~or one king for whichever makes better RP~~. The L-shaped sofa in the living area doubles as a sleeping space for two additional guests for when your room parties have gotten a little too exuberant. The chaperones are in premier one bedroom suites: two story, two bathroom rooms with private Jacuzzis that the students are super duper not invited to try out.

[OOC: Your suite assignments are here, and as always, NSFW posts go to private journals]

Breakfast is served at Sands Restaurant if you didn't breakfast in bed, or you can grab a snack by the pools or out at the beach. Lunchtime provides options at the Indigo Restaurant or Forno Osterio.

[OOC: Put where you are in the header so we can come and join you!]

Time for your daily cardio, people who do daily cardio!

Through specialized services, treatments, and facilities, Terra is the perfect haven for guest to float back to reality at their own pace after the treatment. You have all day to explore their options--maybe try out a coffee scrub today.

Half the reason to come to Boracay is the amazing white sand beaches. Enjoy the hotel's pristine section of beachfront (conveniently close to the Sand Bar), or go to the pools instead. There's a spot up on the roof infinity pool and Jacuzzi and the main pool on the ground level. That one also has a poolside bar, a kiddie pool, and butlers armed with inflatable toys and snacks. Well, the toys are inflatable. Not the snacks.

Okay, not really. The island looks like a crocodile and contains no actual crocodiles, but it does have a great scuba spot.

Happy Planet Boracay Zipline & Cable Car takes you for an exciting ride over a superb view of the northern coast of the island, with Ilig-Iligan Beach right in front of you. The flight lasts less than a minute but it’s quite exhilarating. A cable car takes you back to the departure point in a far slower way and gives you the opportunity to take panoramic photos from this unique viewpoint.

If you want to go back and do something from earlier in the week again, or for the first time!

If you're looking for something a little less hotel-y to eat, the stalls along White Beach have got you covered. Try out Sunny Side Cafe for breakfast, the variety of options inside Streetmarket Boracay, or try your luck at any of the other options around the island.

Boracay Island may be pretty small (7 km in length and less than 2 km wide), but there are no less than 17 beaches and coves of all shapes and sizes. You can head for the popular 4-km-long White Beach, or take a boat to the small and secluded Ilig-Iligan and Tambisaan beaches.

So... close... to the weekend!

Wayne was there, bright and early again, to have breakfast, shocking everyone.

Look, he was a man of habit and routine, and there weren't nothing wrong with getting out there and starting your day fucking right.

Get ready to have the strength of those ziplines tested to the extreme, Happy Planet Boracay Zipline & Cable Car! Because Sidon was absolutely going to have to give this a try, and several times, if he could manage it, even if the whole nature of the activity made him ache a little for a certain Twi'lek that he knew would be completely over the moon over such a thing.

Which might explain the empassioned battle cry of "FOR VEEEEEETTTEEEEEE!!!" the escaped him every time he zipped downed, while also imagining that this must be what it felt like to be a Rito!

Sleeping? On a zipline?

Usually, Shunsui was one to shy away from challenges at all costs, but this seemed to be something that might be potentially worth pursuing, if only because it would be an excellent addition to his compelation of places to nap, and he felt he might actually accomplish it, thanks to the fact that he hadn't so much woken up early today as he hadn't exactly gone to sleep yet.

And there was a lot to be said, after all, about taking the art of the power nap to new heights.

~~*rimshot*~~

Yeah, right, like Rosa was going to pass on ziplining, because not everyone could just make their own ziplines whenever they damn well wanted to, Tightpants.

There was the added bonus of the fact that she'd also convinced Blackstone to come with her on this one ~~because apparently everyone wants to zipline~~, which was going to be a whole level of entertainment all on its own.

And, like the previous narrative had suggested, Amaya was convinced to join Rosa on this particular venture, though she was marginally wary about the whole thing. In general, she felt hers were feet best left firmly on the ground, but she could hardly back out of it. It was certainly a bold choice, even if the gut she usually relied on was feeling a little topsy-turvy over the whole idea.

She was a woman of action, though, even if that action was going to be flying quickly down a highly suspended wire.

And also getting thoroughly distracted by the mechanics of the car and the whole system they had going on here.

Having spent half of yesterday with a terrible hangover, Seivarden decided to start the day at a spa, with a massage and a few other treatments. It both made her relaxed and put her in a good mood, not that the vacation didn't do that generally.

Apart from the morning after Amaya talked her into a drinking competition.

Yeaaaaah, after free-falling over the Collorian Canyons of Axeron-557, ziplining through regular boring old Earth had sort of lost its charm a little, so Summer was okay with skipping that one today and figured she'd take the brunt of chaperoning this excursion. Nature could be kind of lame in general, but it was something light to do before trying to squeeze in the most out of partying before the end of the trip. And it's not like there weren't plenty of good moments to flood her Instagram with, either.

After the morning at the spa, Seivarden headed to the beach. She got herself a drink and a lounger, looking out across the water and listening to the sound of the waves. She would go swimming eventually.

"Wait, what?" asked Prompto, about a few seconds from being strapped in to head down the zipline, thus realizing the problem with being glued to his phone all morning and just idly following Sidon as they headed out to do something that day.

So this should be fun!

This wasn't exactly something Astrid would see herself doing...which was exactly why she decided it should be the thing to do today. She might regret it, but at least she wouldn't regret not giving it a try, right? Might as well collect some new experiences while she was here, if anything.

Tisarwat was a lieutenant on a spaceship. She'd been in anti-grav plenty of times (never with good results, though, which should have told her something) and had been through training and aptitudes.

So you'd think she could handle just a measley little zipline.

But then you'd think wrong, and after only one go, she was already wondering how she thought she could do this without getting a little nauseated and that she should have just stayed at the hotel.

At least the scenery was nice?
