Some helpful tips and info :

  1. Bring your own food and cooking essentials if possible. Foods in Isla Reta are expensive for a budget-traveler. You can bring and cook your own food without any charges (except for drinks which they charge with 25% of their corresponding price).
  2. There are available fresh and affordable fish just outside the gate of Isla Reta. You may buy and cook these fish without any charges.
  3. Bring insect repellent lotions. Better safe than sorry.
  4. Accomodation (no aircon rooms).

Im hoping that the above information and details helps you guys as your travel guide.
Enjoy and have a safe trip.

Looks like, you have lots of fun.Good post, thanks to surpassinggoogle for sharing this.

, in lives choices are always there, there is no way a choice we ever be just one alone. Until we start seeing the worth of value which we carry then what we should be able to attain may just exist in our mind alone.

We do need the self belief, to add meaning to our existence. We are what we make ourself become.
Thank you for this.

And for your recovery process, you have not slacked a bit, your choices of colourful place as this is tantamount, its reminds me that life is once and ought to be lived without fears.

You spread motivate words even when you do need motivation, this is peculiar to the selflessness exhibited by Jesus.
