Continued favor! We were able to get an earlier flight to Seattle from Spokane. Although, we were unable to find a Cinnabon in the airport once we got there.
Lots of flying! Experienced some motion sickness (please be praying I won't get that on the way back!). We arrived in the Philippines about 1130pm local time. We then had a 3hour car drive to the end of the island then a 1hour wait for our 20min boat ride to the other island. My aunt met us at the airport, others met us where the boat docked, and everyone else was at Lolo's (grandpa's) house. The journey took about 30hours altogether, but we made it and I must say it was completely worth it!
There's this familiar smell in the air. As soon as we got off the plane it hit me and it finally sunk in that I am going to be in the Philippines for a while. As soon as we turned onto the street where Lolo's house is, I began to recognize everything! And it was just as everyone had warned me, it was all much smaller than I remembered.
Pictures: our make shift door lock, the semi-giant cockroach in dad's room (kels claims there was also a giant spider), kels and I in our room :)
So happy you made it safe and sound! Sally said she wished she could have gone too! Be on the lookout for those pretty purple bananas! Love you all. Prayers continuing.
ReplyDeleteTell her I wish she was here! Would've smuggled her in in my suitcase if I could've! I will post the purple bananas when I see and eat them!!
