We spent an average of 2k every meal, fiesta na kami nyan :D Wala nga lang fruit shakes plus dad prefers meat talaga. I had a hard time, food wise, because we needed to schedule a shuttle to and from d'mall. It eats up 20mins one way. Wasn't able to stock up on junkfoods and treats either. Given the chance, I'd stick to Station 1 next time.
We are a group of 9 adults and 4 kids, that's what I always say when inquiring for accommodation. Microtel adivsed that we get 3 rooms.
1. D1 Arrival of The Others, 2. D1 Arrival of The Others, 3. D1 Arrival of The Others, 4. D1 Arrival of The Others, 5. D1 Arrival of the Others, 6. D1 Arrival of the Others
Anyways, I pre-checked them in already knowing they'll join us pretty late and tired from the travel.
Nothing much to see in Keds room (same as ours) so on we went to Kers room.
It was already 640pm and the sun has set, only a hint of light can be seen from the beach.
They sipped their drinks and cooled off for a while. After settling down, off we went to eat dinner.
I would love to go back again to Jony's but I'd like to try out another hotel and managed to hold on to some business flyers with their rainy day promos. I had my eye on Microtel's suite near the pool for a long time. Through their website, I reserved 2 suites and 1 double room with Beach view availing their Rainy Day Promo Package. I didn't get to meet Ms Ali who responded quickly to my inquiries but the rest of the staff was very warm and efficient.
330pm, we get to see our room.
The little girl immediately jumped on the bed.
I checked the bathroom.
The toiletries. Good thing we brought our own.
The condiments. Aisht, I forgot my milk tea.
Overall, we liked our room. Aircon and ref were working perfectly. I was a bit disappointed as I thought we'd get the ones near the pool. It turns out those were called Suite Premium, apparently not available for booking online. I was thinking of upgrading as my brother expected it and Donna might have a hard time climbing the stairs, hubby thinks our rooms will do.
Kiddie corner, check.
Inspector Dani, checking out the pool. Does this place looked fun?
I think so.
Hubby, camera shy.
Second floor, second window from the right. That's us.
Flights were booked as early as April. Three days and two nights vacation with Dani and Garry but later my whole family decided to tag along.
Day 1
Sunday night, our bags were packed already. Come Wednesday morning around 3AM, I received 3 text messages from CebuPac informing me that our flight originally scheduled at 925am was cancelled. By the time I read the messages, Hubby had driven several meters from our home already. While talking with the customer rep, we turned back and rebooked ourselves on the 1130am flight. In the end, my parents and siblings were rescheduled at a much later flight from 1240pm to 310pm.
Hubby decided to bring the car and avail of the Park and Fly services. It ain't cheap but he feels more secure with xeon there. We were at the airport by 930am and ordered breakfast in Jollibee. I would've preferred to eat the longanisa meal but ordered burger for myself and chicken joy for hubby.
First time to see their new receipt-like tickets.
Checked ourselves in and waited at Gate 133.
Last time we boarded at Gate 134.
Just trippin with The Backyardigans' Born to Play and Groove to the Music albums.
I forgot, mostly they were seated together that's why Dani's able to sleep during the flight. But this time, she was too likot and stayed awake the whole flight.
First time to land in Caticlan airport. Boarding was late, it was already 2PM by the time we touched down.
Took a van for a few minutes transfer to Caticlan Jetty Port. Dani was cranky as she's sleepy na and doesn't want to walk anymore.
Took some time before this ferry left.
Not sure if it's lack of sleep or her kalikutan but minutes after this photo, the little girl threw up. That was a first. Hubby had to bring her to the deck, inhaling a whiff of ammonia Manong so kindly provided.
Mommy, I had a dream today. A monkey was following us. When we walk, he walks. When we stop, he stops also. We thought he's a bad monkey. He went to get some food and he's a good monkey. I gave him a name, Fluffy and he said yes.
He went back to his home and said ba-bye.
Hero: What are you doing?
Princess: Playing in the computer.
Hero: Are you playing moshi monsters?
Princess: No, nick jr.
~some convo i cannot decipher~
Princess: Hero, I'm not going to tell you I'm at a new level already because it will make you sad.
Hero: mumbles.
Princess: Are you mad? It's my mommy's fault she lets me play games all the time.
Princess: Are you mad at my mommy? Ok bye.
Walks toward me and says: Mommy, I told Hero it's your fault why I am at a different level because you keep letting me play games.
