Leaving Boracay for Manila is an adventure in itself, and this travel day video covers every step. Dave and Kim ride the ferry from Boracay to Caticlan, survive an airport power outage, fly to Manila, check into the Savoy Hotel near the airport, and walk over to No Nongs Fried Chicken for dinner.

Ferry and Flight Out of Boracay

Departing Boracay means a ferry crossing to Caticlan followed by a short hop to the airport, and the couple films the whole chain of transport. The journey even includes an unexpected power outage at the airport and a bus ride out to the plane on the runway, the kind of honest travel moments that make the channel's travel day videos so relatable.

Back at the Savoy Hotel

After landing in Manila, Dave and Kim return to the Savoy Hotel just outside the airport, a property they clearly like for layovers and early flights. Its location makes it one of the most convenient airport hotels in Manila, and the video doubles as a mini review for travelers passing through the capital.

Dinner at No Nongs Fried Chicken

The evening wraps up with a walk to No Nongs Fried Chicken, where the couple enjoys a delicious local meal. It is a reminder that some of the best food experiences in the Philippines come from simple, beloved neighborhood spots rather than fancy restaurants.
