solo flashpacking in Boracay




dirt cheap. myBoracay trip at less than Php6,999.00 4 days/3 nights


the strip, all 4 kilometers of fine white sand and clear water, all yours.


front row seat to the best beach in the wOrld


this is what rush hour means at white beach, Boracay


paraw




dirt cheap!

At less than Php6,999.00 (4 days & 3 nights) inclusive of airfare, studio unit (studio for its size, mid-range pension house for its amenities) accommodation at station 1, all meals, all fares and whole day island hopping.

But hoy! Hold your horses. Don't get too excited. What gives? Planning and adventuresome spirit.

(I just arrived and my head is spinning from the seemingly endless trip back home. the budget breakdown laters.) UPDATE: expense report now ready here, thru this link:

Meanwhile, here's the first batch, hot-off-the-grill. A baker's dozen out of 600 photos..

    I hope that you could post the cost breakdown and where ats too... (if you haven't already)
    My daughter has a 5-day leave coming up this month and is planning to spend it there.
    I know that you're not running a travel agency, but it would really help her.

    your trip expenses, where did you avail it? do you think there's such package here in cebu?

  24. i love madMarch 1, 2009 at 9:31 PM

    actually it depends on what u wanna do in boracay.
    bantayan is less than half the price and it's not too far.

    i am my own travel planner. hehe
    i don't think there's any resort around that can provide such a dirt cheap package. hehehe. but if you travel in groups of 5 or more, okay siguro kaayo ang presyo..

    That's not me Mad & rv. It was my daughter who just came off duty and started looking for Boracay packages.....

    Boracay's not on my agenda .... yet, anyway. Hindi ko pa trip ang sun, sand and sea. Besides, I grew up with Tacloban beaches and even if there's no white sand, the sea is the very swimable type unlike the rocky ones we have plenty of in Cebu.
    When I started swimming in the pools, I felt more at home in them than in the open sea. But I can always go back again.

    Hey, but the lines of a poem just flashed through my mind - "I must go down to the seas again, to the lonely sea and the sky........

    So, where's the travel plan? I thought you'd share.....(charge to experience until you come up with a travel agency)

    ReplyDelete
  30. i love madMarch 1, 2009 at 9:56 PM

    yes, ask her what kind of boracay experience she's looking for.
    (eg, partying, spa & relaxation, adventure,etc)
    sometimes those cheap packages can mean disappointment and one can end up pretty tired from all the transporting, but 5 days ok na. not so rush as a weekend there.
