A Whole Lotta Baggage
When we booked our flight to Boracay, we decided to opt for the “no check-in luggage” option, which ultimately saved us about P800 from the total fare. After all, how heavy can beachwear get?
I just found out, however, that we’re only entitled to bring 5 kilos’ worth of carry-on luggage each. That’s only about 5 bags of sugar! Though I’m not bringing sugar with me because I’m sure there are condiments aplenty in Boracay, I still wonder if 5 kilos is going to be enough for two bikini changes a day, party wear, and sexy lingerie (hey, it’s my honeymoon!) . . . not to mention footwear, books, and whatever, umm, accessories I might think of lugging along with me to the beach.
I wonder if I can get away with wearing half my wardrobe on the plane without looking like the Michelin Man. Surely they’ll weigh my bags, not me!

5 kilos, seriously?? then ud better not pack any shoes, maybe an extra pair of slippers. if you have a kikay kit like mine, it might be a problem. haha. maybe you can buy toiletries in sachets. it’s amazing how cebu pacific finds ways to cut down their fares, but at the same time, to burden passengers with extra fees.

5 kilos? you serious? I have never heard of that and I live here. My slim laptop computer weights over half of that.
@Kaith: I honestly might buy my toiletries from there. I seem to remember a little grocery in D’Mall the last time I was there 2 years ago. I’ll probably just wear my trusty Ipanemas, so that won’t be a problem. My reading list will be, though. Yikes.
@Milton: Yeah, believe it or not. Going for the check-in luggage option only gives you 10 kilos for Boracay, so that’s not much of a difference.
