The weather has took turns for the worst. The ferry heading to Tagbilaran has been cancelled by the coast guard. Now trying to queue up for another route to Bohol. So many disappointed tourist.
I can’t stay one more night here. I am already recycling my clothes from yesterday and also running out of money.

I bathed hahaha. But I didn’t have change of clothes as I was only meant to stay a day. If I stay another night here I’ll spend another money for hotel and I don’t have anything to wear tomorrow. I’ll be stinking if I use the same clothes for three days. I can’t even stand wearing this now but I have no choice.

Natural disasters can challenge your life when roads close.

@Deepizzaguy You sure get a lot of hurricanes in the state. It’s very destructive.

@flapiz I know how you feel since I was on pins and needles when Hurricane Barry was coming to south Louisiana.

Falcon is on its way out but another LPA has been spotted. Classes in all levels in our suspended were cancelled late causing many parents who have already conducted their children to school got frustrated of the late announcement. The sky today was bright and there was no rain but winds are still ferocious until this moment.

Well this is why I opted to go home so that I won’t get caught up in another storm as it is typhoon season for us Filipinos.

@sunrisefan Yep fortunately I can catch the night trip. It’s a long one but I feel like it’s safe because the ship is huge.

@flapiz Unfortunately though, you can't go home unless the Coast Guard gives the go signal for ships to sail. Sometimes passengers are frustrated but many now learn to understand that it's for the passengers' safety. Also, the Coast Guard is avoiding to be blamed should anything untoward happens if they give the go signal despite inclement weather

@resukill22 Same here. 5 hour sea travel. Plus the time was really inconvenient. I waited 10 hours at the pier for the trip.

@CookieMonster46 I managed to get the 10 pm ticket which arrives at 3 am. I feel sorry for my dad who’d pick me up.

I take it from your post that you are currently not at home? I heard today about the storm approaching the Philippines. Are you in a safe place?

@moffittjc I’m glad too. Getting back made me realise how much I missed my cats and my dogs.

So you reckon I should just stay another night? I mean I need another hotel and maybe to buy a basic change of clothes as I can’t rewear the same thing tomorrow.
