On the Menu #1: Smoke Resto

Everytime I go away from the island, there will always be picture on my mind of Sizzling Bulalo, Kaopad, Salpicao (made extra spicy on request) from Smoke Resto calling me to come back to Boracay F-A-S-T! What I truly love about eating breakfast, lunch, dinner and when drunk here is because they've got the best bulalo sabaw ever on the island. Rea and Ancho prides on how the sabaw is made from scratch --spices and all and no MSG, Magic Sarap or Knorr whatever is added. They offer cheap, affordable and reasonable meals in the heart of Boracay Island-- D'mall.

Boracay Travel Expenses: A Budget Guide

lifted from my It's Just Jammy's Luck dated 11 August 2008.

Boracay is in every Filipino's must visit list and a tight budget is always keeping many away from the destination.
So plan your trip early to save money or save money to start planning your trip. hmmm? Either way, just save up and go when it is cheapest. And you are so lucky because its off season!

So you're still calculating your travel expenses but still clueless of the various fees and taxes you might come by to get here? Lem'me help.

There are various ways to get to Boracay by plane (Kalibo and Caticlan). Kalibo is my favorite because it is relatively much cheaper than Caticlan. But some would prefer Caticlan over Kalibo because it is the fastest way to the island. SO it's really up to you.

Now, get your calculator and compute with me.
