EXCURSION OPTIONS: You must choose one
In the middle of the trip we will be taking a short pause on ministry to have a couple days of down time to relax and have fun hanging out as family. You have two options to choose from this year. See below for more details. You may ask "Do I have to choose one?" The answer is, "Yes." The reason for this is that staying behind in Los Banos was going to be an extra $170 added to the trip anyway, so why not just choose option 2 for $30 more and have some fun in the sun. So, we made the executive decision that the trip participants must choose one of the below options.
Option 1
BORACAY $400pp - 3days/2nights
This cost includes airfare, terminal fees, transfer fees, accommodations, 2 breakfasts and 2 dinners.
Lunch will be on your personal tab, as well as any other fees for activities you participate in while in Boracay. The beaches in Boracay are beautiful. You will be able to enjoy the beauty of the beaches while resting and relaxing or take advantage of the many ocean activities that are offered. The choice is up to you! Either way you will have a wonderful "get-a-way" during the trip.
