AIRPORT DINING - Letting you know what's on your menu

AIRPORT DINING

If you ever wondered what kind of food you can get at an airport you are going to maybe for the first time, a new site has launched.  Ready to keep you informed and well fed with your favorite foods.  Many of us have dietary requirments either dictated by medical reasons or by lifestyle choices.  Also, airlines are reducing their offerings onboard and security is constantly changing what you can or can't bring through the check point.

Many choices - arm yourself
We’re spending more time than ever at airports. With long security lines, flight delays and lengthy check-in times most likely you're bound to be hungry at the airport.

The good news is that airport food has gotten better with plenty of fine dining options. In addition to the usual suspects, fast-food airport outlets, airports started to offer lots of quality restaurant choices as airport eateries are becoming branches of favorite local restaurants, bars and cafés.

Based on that Airport Dining is determined to collect airport restaurant information and share it with frequent flyers as well as concerned airport restaurants who desire useful feedback as to the quality of their airport food. Their goal is to find the truth from real flyers and bring you the most up-to-date information about airport dining. Your reviews not only aid others in their choice of airport restaurants and their menu selection, but also provide valuable feedback to any airport restaurant that cares for the quality of their customer airport dining experience.

They only have a few reviews so far, but it's a great idea that may catch on.

Philippines - Boracay - The Party Island

BORACAY:

Located in the Philippines, Boracay is reknown for fun and sun.  Nowhere can you find a 24 hour party as affordable as this.

Boracay Station 2 from the Beach Walk

Trivia:  The Sea Wind Resort on White Beach on Boracay island houses a museum filled with native Boracay artifacts, unique sea shells from surrounding beaches and art pieces made by local artists.

When you Land:  Most visitors come in from Caticlan or Kalibo.  If you arrive at Kalibo, prepare yourself for a three hour van ride.  Bring snacks and water.  Some of the larger jets were diverting to Kalibo due to runway restrictions at Caticlan.  Check with Cebu Pacific or Philippine Airlines before booking.  Both airlines are competitive on pricing, check which has the best "promo fare."

Banana Saging - Kiteboarding at Boracay
Daytime:  Go to Bolabog Beach.  Kiteboarding is very popular and absolutely thrilling.  There are several schools that will have you up in no time.  Also, there are hostels for enthusiasts.  Banana Saging Guesthouse is as little as $6.75 per day.

Wear sunscreen, and don't let the cool breeze play tricks.  Seek shade between 12 and 3 p.m.  The tropical sun will burn.



Night Life:  Boracay rivals all if you are seeking food, music drinks and romance.  Boracay is for lovers but not recommended to meet the love of your life there, better to bring him or her with you already.  The Beach Walk at Station 2 is an endless pathway of restaurants, music, bars and fun.  Check out the Bombom Bar for top quality live music.

Food:  Ti Braz has an amazing menu, otherwise it is hard to go wrong with any of the restaurants along the Beach Walk.  Most seafood is local and fresh, and very delicious.

Insider Tips:  English is widely spoken and understood.  Ultimate party times are Halloween, New Year's or Easter.
