All roads lead to Boracay this summer

MANILA, Philippines - Despite the erratic weather patterns that welcomed 2011, there seems to be no stopping the summer vacation season this year. The usual tourist destinations will surely be brimming with foreigners and locals alike, so it would be wise to start preparing for your annual getaway as early as now.

If you have never been to Boracay, it’s time you knew Boracay apart from what you’ve experienced before.  There seems to be no excuse not to hop on a plane to this paradise island, with a host of budget airfare readily accessible nowadays on the web.

Make sure to pack light but pack well. A stunning and vibrant destination such as Boracay will require you to bring not more than a few change of clothes as you would surely be out on the sand and in the sea most of the time. Choose your best swim wear and accessories for those Facebook-worthy snapshots.

Be sure to plan your itinerary in advance, but at the same time, be open to any surprises that life on the island may bring. Have a sip of the famed Jona’s fruit shakes or a bite of the sumptuous ribs at Gastoff’s. There are also a lot of new gastronomic finds to check out in Boracay, such as Dos Mestizos restaurant, or the simple but delicious dampa-style establishments at D’Talipapa.

There are the signature Boracay experiences such as the paraw or boat ride, especially during sunset, or island hopping. Enjoy a massage along the shores or have a tattoo to commemorate your vacation. New adventurous things to check out in Boracay are the Zorb water ride, helmet diving, and an exciting trip on a glass-bottom boat where you can appreciate the precious and amazing marine life of the island.
