After seven months, Team Kramer has returned to their "second home," the beautiful island of Boracay. Joining the family-of-five are Cheska's brother, Patrick, and his family, and their other relatives.
Boracay has always been special for Doug and Cheska. It was in this island in Aklan where they first met each other in 2003. Since then, they visit to Boracay every year.
Although the country is still battling the COVID-19 pandemic, Doug and Cheska still managed to continue their tradition now that local travel is allowed.
Know Team Kramer's experience traveling in the new normal in this gallery.
Doug Kramer and Cheska Garcia-Kramer traveled to Boracay with their kids Kendra, Scarlett, and Gavin.
In the shuttle going to the airplane, Kendra, Scarlett, and Gavin all wore face masks, face shields, and protective personal equipment.
All persons aboard the flight were Doug and Cheska's family members. But still they observed the proper safety protocols set by the airline and the government.
In an Instagram post, Doug shared that they are "glad to help an industry that's been struggling," which is local tourism. All of them were required to present a negative PCR swab result among other things.
All the hassle are worth it as Team Kramer enjoys the picturesque Boracay sunset.
Going to Boracay has been the yearly tradition of Team Kramer. Doug and Cheska met on the island in 2003 and since then, they go back every year.
Now that they are a family-of-five, Doug and Cheska continued their tradition of visiting Boracay.
Boracay is far from its usual jam-packed beaches now that the tourism industry is struggling.
Cheska shared her realizations during their stay in Boracay. She wrote, "Cherishing every moment that we thought might take a very long time to happen again. Many months back this seemed like a far-fetched plan and all we could do was reminisce on our family trips-wondering when will it happen again. Fast forward, we are very thankful that we got to do this and come back to the place that is very dear and special to us [this is where Doug and I met]."
Team Kramer's much-needed vacation became more exciting because they were joined by their relatives.
Cheska's younger brother, Patrick, and his family also joined in the fun.

Team Kramer quickly went from family goals to clan goals! Enjoy, Boracay!
