The journey


It seems like every time we go somewhere interesting travel experiences always come our way.  This trip was no different.  On the way to Boracay we left Seoul at 10:15 PM and landed in Cebu at 1:15 AM.  We had to pick up our bags and walk outside to the domestic terminal and wait for our 5:30 AM flight to Caticlan.  Here is Bonnie passing the time in the shutdown Cebu airport.

Caticlan was definitely the smallest airport I have ever flown into.  They had a really sophisticated baggage handeling system though...

 After we landed in Caticlan we took a tricycle ride to the port.

We then caught a boat to the island of Boracay.



On the way back to Korea we were supposed to fly out of Caticlan again.  I said supposed to because that isn't what happened.  When we got to the airport we found out our flight was cancelled.  The airline's solution was to put us in a van and drive us to another airport 1.5 hours away.  Thankfully our original layover in Manilla was a little over 4 hours so this arrangement was feasible.  We felt really blessed that it actually worked and we were able to get back to Korea safely and in a timely manner.

Your ability to blog so quickly always amazes me. I remember that same trip to Boracay. The whole reason you fly out of Caticlan is so you don't have to do the 1.5 hour trip to the bigger airport. Lame! I am sure you handled is much more calmly than I would have.

The only thing missing from this post was pictures of Tom in his thong on the beach and pictures of Bonnie in her bikini with baby bump. Your audience eagerly awaits.
