Most people think that going to Boracay for a holiday would entail a lot of money. I would say that it is true. It can be expensive if they book in the hotels which are considered high end. On the other hand, there are actually many hotels that are quite affordable and yet comfortable and cozy. I was actually able to visit Boracay without spending too much. I have learned to restrain myself from giving in to the lures of the attractive displays in the shops and from over-indulging in the restaurants and bars. All I needed was a comfortable place to stay and the breathtaking view of the beach. These days, a trip to Boracay is even more affordable because of the choices of  package tours that are offered. Those who are interested in basking under the sun and getting the best holiday ever in a shoestring budget can actually do it.

Breakfast Stop-over at Culasi, Antique

The trip back home from Boracay will be longer than usual since instead of going directly to Iloilo City from Caticlan, we will be taking another route. We went via Antique. We left a bit early in the morning after sending off some guests at the Caticlan Airport. We weren't able to have breakfast yet at that time so while

Reminiscing After a Trip to Boracay

After two nights spent in Boracay, I am already on my way home with some friends. While sitting in the van, I glimpsed at my red backpack and realized that for the last two months, I have actually gone to the four provinces in my island, Panay. I have been to various places which I would never have had considered as part of my trip. I experienced a lot of things both good and bad. I also got to meet locals who proved to be very interesting. I also had the chance to get to know a lot of people who showed their concern for the plight of those who were affected by the super typhoon, Yolanda or Haiyan. The trip to Boracay was not a part of the those that I had to do volunteer work. This one was business and leisure.

A New Journey

Traveling is something that I have always wanted to do. I got sidetracked though due to career and some family reasons. The new year is really timely since this time around I will be quite free to do it. To start off, I started with a trip to Boracay. The last time that I was in the island was about two years ago and that was for a trip with a cause. We had a medical mission and gift-giving activity with the Aeta community which until now is under the auspices of the Daughters of Charity. A relaxing time on the beach was a fitting activity after the hard work. It was not the first time for me and friends to be in the island for such a thing and one thing for sure is that I missed doing it. Now I am finally back in the island to jumpstart my journey to rediscover my region - Visayas.
