Today, we leave the Philippines. Our flight actually leaves at 1:50am, but with everything closing down in Cebu city, we find ourselves at the airport 5 hours before our flight to Shanghai.
Our busride back to Cebu City was pretty miserable. 3 hours (a lot of it stuck in traffic), in a standing room bus…. Full of cranky people (us included!). At one point, someone brought in a massive Nemo balloon, filling up a large portion of the top of the bus. I thought I was going to suffocate.
At least they played a movie: The Fast and the Furious. I had actually decided never to watch any of those movies, after seeing the first 10 minutes of the first one. Fate had other plans…
The following 2 days will go like this:
July 29th
Wake up at 8am
At 3pm, board a 3 hour busride to Cebu city.
Grab a taxi to the airport after getting a quick bite to eat.
July 30th
Our flight to Shanghai leaves at 1:50am
We arrive at Pudong airport at 5:40am
We travel to the hotel we stayed at before leaving for the Philippines and pick up our luggage.
Our flight to Vancouver leaves at 3:55pm
We arrive in Canada at 11:40 am… On the same day…due to time changes.
At 1:25, we depart for Winnipeg and will arrive at about 6pm.
Long story short…
We will be on the go for a good 42 hours…. Sleeping only if our flights allow it.
Goodness, I hope our plane is empty!
Barf! Is all I can say. LOL! you both are obviously made for this…..
You get used to it. Just becomes part of life. We managed to stay awake the whole flight so we were able to sleep through the first night, which really helps
