Heading there for the last week in April.

Plans are not set yet, but it's looking like we are heading to Panglao island/Alona beach...
Good place to kill a week?

How far is Apo island from Alona?

Have been checking into going there as well, after reading a few threads here about the place.

We had 10 times this rain last year on Boracay.

dumaguete to bohol is 1 hour by fastcraft, it takes longer on a dive boat. Sea Explorers runs regular trips out from Alona, so you could inquire with them.

If you're only staying a week in the PI, I'd just do one or the other.
