I am heading to another province via a two hour ferry for my Predeparture Seminar tomorrow. Apparently there is a low pressure area and the clouds look so scary. I hope the trip goes well. I wouldn’t have taken this trip if I had a choice but I can’t reschedule my seminar. Have you ever travelled when the weather is not so ideal?

Me too if I could. But it’s a pressing matter for me. Glad to have arrived safely. Now praying that I won’t be stranded here tomorrow.

@cacay1 Thanks Erly. I have decided to be very safe so I’m eating in at my hotel today. Haha or just being lazy.

@sophie09 The only time I travelled by ship in Indonesia was when I went to Gili Island. It wasn’t a ship it was more like a ferry boat.

Stay safe then. I know there is an incoming storm and they expect to come by Wednesday this week. I hope that it would not affect those that are travelling by seas since they usually are affected when things like this happen.

I’ll be home by Tuesday evening. I hope the weather won’t be as terrible still. I have to brave the seas as I don’t want further delays for my visa.

@flapiz If you have a place to stay in here why not let the storm pass by before finally leaving back home. I suspect if the storm would not change its direction rain would be much stronger and so are the waves of it.

@flapiz Have a safe trip but is the Coast Guard giving the go signal for sea travel? There's tropical depression Falcon.

Not by plane or by a boat. There were several instances we had to drive on a very terrible weather though.

That’s also dangerous like the roads get slippery and also the visibility is impaired. Does it flood often from where you are?

I've been on a cruise ship in the Caribbean Sea when we had to be diverted due to an approaching hurricane. The powerful storm kept us at sea two extra days before we could finally sail into our port of call.

@flapiz The Caribbean is very nice. The pirates aren't as bad as they used to be, although there are still a few around.

Hey Christina thanks I reached my destination safely. I haven’t been to a country with snow. I do feel like snow is beautiful but I think a snow storm would be terrifying specially on air. Planes don’t get cancelled during snow storms?

Yes I had faced such a bad weather. That was the first time when the flight started bumping and the luggage were falling from upwards. I was sure that our life was coming to an end. Thankfully GOD saved all of us. Wish the weather will be better soon and you will have a safe journey. May GOD bless you and your tour for the seminar.

That must be really horrendous since you can see the lightning. Plus the turbulence too. I wonder which is worst storm and you’re on the sea or on air.
