Boracay Trip

     There are plenty of friends asking me to post the itinerary of our Boracay vacation.  As requested, I will put in this blog things to bring, accommodation, transportation, food/restaurants and activities in Boracay.  I hope this can help most of them to plan for their future Boracay trip.



AirFare

     I was able to avail a seat sale promo at Zest Air, Manila-Kalibo-Manila for only P7,471.20I choose Kalibo over Caticlan because I prefer airbus planes than propeller planes. Kalibo's airport's runway accomodates airbus jet planes, while Caticlan only accomodates small propeller planes. The downside of it is we still need to travel one and a half hour before getting to Caticlan.
 
Accommodation

     I wanted to save more on accommodation so I didn't choose beach front hotels with swimming pools. Located in Station 1,  LSM Square is only 2 minutes walk to the White Beach and 2 meanutes walk to  D'Mall.  I got positive reviews in this hotel and I am able to get pictures of our room.  They don't serve breakfast, anyways there are plenty of restaurants in Boracay that we need to try.  For only P2,300.00/day, fully airconditioned rooms w/ private bath, mini refrigerator, cable tv, hot and cold shower, 24hr standby generator and 24 hour internet connection.







Things To Bring 

    I always plan ahead to make sure I'll be able to bring everything.  I am starting to buy things we will need.  Since we are going to stay there for 7 days, we need to bring everything so we can save more and just spend most of our budget on food.




     Things are a lot more expensive in Boracay so might as well buy these while you are in Manila.  Sun blocks are essential when you are going to the beach and also insect repellent, Nivea Sun Swim and Play P540, Nivea LipGloss SPF10 P80, OFF P125.  The sun and seawater can dry your hair out so use a gentle shampoo and treatment conditioner to keep it moisturized, Dove Nurishing Oil Care Shampoo P110, Dove Daily Treatment Conditioner P145.  The heat of the sun, wind and seawater can also dry your skin so bring something to clean and moisturize your skin, Ponds Facial Scrub P75, Ponds Toner P75, Ponds Spotless white detox P80, Dove Body Wash Beauty Moisture P80.



    
     Good thing my 3 year old son got his flu shot today for P1000, so less worries.  Still, I need to bring some medicines just in case I need one... I won't have to worry where to buy.  Paracetamol for fever and reduction of mild pain, Alnix for allergies, Ceelin, Relestal for colic, Bonamin for byahilo and ventolin nebule for my kids.  And also, Ibuprofen, diatabs, kremils, buscopan, paracetamol for adults.
