The holiday season was the perfect time to be with friends and family. Since most had long days off from work, it’s the only time of the year that families are gathered together.
I took advantage of the short days off as I knew that there won’t be any as soon as the election period begins relative to the conduct of the Automated Elections.
The first day of the year was spent on a 3-hour trip on the road as my family and I took off for the Island they call Paradise at the Island Garden City of Samal. I wasn’t too sure if roadside assistance was offered by the government as the two bus companies in General Santos City had a holiday break. Business transactions resumed on the 2nd day of January. Some family friends went with us. Our Baby- Ewoks- went with us too. 
.
Baby Ewoks' first long trip
We took a barge going to Paradise Island. It was my first time to have a glimpse of the beautiful place. There were many people who spent their New Year at the island. We’ve sighted quite a handful of foreign nationals who seemed to be enjoying themselves at the various amenities offered by the Beach Club.
At the barge on our way to the island
It was almost sunset when we’ve finally reached our destination.
Lovely sunset
And yes! We can’t wait to have a plunge!
That's Sarah
Night swimming with girlfriends

I’ve been to Samal Island too and it’s nice! kaya lang they have short beaches… if only it has a longer stretch it would be better! and the sand is really nice.

Yeah! You are right. Beaches have such short stretches. When there are too many people, it gets really crowded. But it ‘s fun and the place is just awesome!
