Day 1
07/05/2027
Arrive and exhale in Palawan — Big Lagoon kayak

Focus: Arrival & settle Day notes: If jetlag hits, take a short nap (30–45 mins max) so sleep stays intact. Aim to reach the stay before dark; pick up essentials nearby (water/snacks). Anchor: Palawan. Keep the pace gentle—one good moment beats ten rushed ones. Trip notes: If something feels rushed, we’ll skip it. The goal is to come back rested, not exhausted. Built around walkability, good food breaks, and calm evenings. No checklist travel.
