i am so thankful now that caloy is out of the phil area of responsibility. it simply means that we don’t have to worry about landslides, floods, homeless and sick people.

We happened to be stranded in Boracay, and trust me, no beach means nothing else to do. Not to mention the winds, rain and no electricity. Scary stuff. But, the staff at Willy’s Beach Resort never let the smiles leave their faces. They were wonderful. Glad that everything is now okay.
