Camiguin, Day 1!

So our first day at Camiguin started with our flight there.  We went on a small 10 man chartered plane and it took about a 30 minute flight to get there.  Which isn't too bad when you compare it to the almost 3 hour flight to Hongkong on the FREEZING COLD Airbus.  When we got there it was about 9 a.m. and we were "supposed" to have a scheduled shuttle transfer to our resort; however, it wasn't there!  Well it didn't turn out bad thankfully because of a nice local named Gelt, who had moved to Camiguin from Holland.  After realizing our transfer wasn't there yet he invited us the hotel/restaurant he owns for drinks while we wait for our van.  We ended up talking and drinking until about 11 when we finally headed off to our resort.  We spent the rest of the day pretty much just relaxing.  We had lunch then swam until it was almost time for dinner, for which we went back to Gelts  and had dinner to support his business after he was so kind to us.  And thus is the end of day 1 on Camiguin Island.

Drove through my first flood! LOL

Well the other day started off normal as any other here, HOT!! Nice and hot just as I like it!  Went to the mall with Jeny and had a nice lunch and best of all, STARBUCKS!  I had a Caramel Macciato.... my favorite.  All in all that was the majority of the day.  Pretty normal as I said, until about 7 pm.  That's when we got a call from our daughter Kelly at her University still explaining why she had not left for home yet.  Low and behold the streets were flooded!!  So off we drove to pick her up.  All I can say is (thank god) we have a Pajero lol.  Cars were stranded everywhere from water flooding their engines.  Not only cars but some Multicabs and Jeepneys as well, which surprised me considering how much higher they are.  Now when I say flooded keep in mind I'm from South Carolina in the United States lol.  Even so the water was 3-4 feet deep. But aside from learning how to drive in deep water and being thankful for a large SUV I learned one more important and vital fact that night.  Never and I mean NEVER ask Jeny if I should turn left or right.  Now as I know the normal way around Cebu back and forth from the malls and university Kelly goes to and back to our home on Lapu-Lapu keep in mind the streets were flooded.  So I looked at Jen and asked should I turn to the "right" here?  She replied "YES" and pointed to the left.  Hmmmm lol.  So needless to say I will never ask her directions again.  I told her from now on point and say turn here. :)
