we're # 26!!!
new york times came out with an article (jan 11), naming boracay as #26 in their '44 places to go in 2009' list!
and i quote:
"#26 Boracay, The Philippines
The next Phuket? The island jewel of Boracay -- known for its emerald water, white sand beaches and glassy lagoons -- may be just that. Less than an hour from Manila by plane, this small, four-mile-long island has long been a destination for wealthy Filipinos. Now, a new breed of South Beach-style hotels is broadening the island's appeal. The Tides, a chic boutique hotel, has quickly become the pool-and-party spot for the Philippine jet set. And later this year, a Shangri-La hotel opens with 219 rooms and villas and a 61,000-square-foot spa on a private bay."
Woohoow!!!!
The others that made it on the list? Beirut, the Galapagos, Bhutan, etc.
