Four weeks after posting my Boracay budget from our trip last December, I’m once again posting another entry about how much I spent in Boracay last weekend.
I spent double of what I spent last December on this trip. That’s owing to the cost of the room, which I have to shoulder all on my own, meal expenses that could have been shared, the day trip to Kalibo and the extra day spent. Other than the trip to Kalibo for the Ati-atihan, I pretty much did nothing in Boracay — no island hopping nor water sports. I already did those things when I first went there in 2005. Besides, it’s no fun doing that all by myself ๐

1 Thank you Seair! | |||
2 I went to Kalibo for the Ati-atihan Festival. | |||
3 As a Seair passenger, I get comlimentary transfers from Caticlan airport to Boracay. This includes the shuttle from the airport to the ferry port, and the boat ride from Caticlan to Boracay. Since I went to Kalibo, I just rode the shuttle to the port, then went to ride the van to Kalibo. So when I went back to Caticlan, I had to buy my own ticket. I unknowingly bought tickets to the fastcraft, instead of the usual outrigger boat. | |||
4 For Php1,000 per night, I get an airconditioned room that can comfortably accommodate two with cable TV, ensuite toilet and bath (with hot and cold shower), a closet, a personal refrigerator and a small safe. This also includes daily breakfast, a welcome drink and a cocktail. | |||
5 I actually only ate three meals a day, with an occasaional junk food. This includes a really expensive lunch. | |||
6 I can actually connect via wi-fi in my room, but nooo, I still needed to go online in the Internet cafe -_- | |||
7 My friend’s only request is that I bring him back not one, but three chori burgers. |
