The daily grind of life can take away that zest and passion in you. This is why I value 'microvacations' or getaways spread all-throughout the year than a grand annual vacation. And this time it's a great escape to be with those people I treasured most - my parents.
It is my second time, my mom's nth time, and my father's first time to be in the Island Born of Fire. Excited and elated - these are what we felt the moment we board the plane bound to Cagayan de Oro City. Although the flight isn't something we expected (it's like being in roller-coaster ride), we still looked forward to finally reach the island.
It took us more than an hour to reach Camiguin thru a ferry. The blow of the sea breeze, the smell of its salty water, and the sight of the turquoise water are enough to set our mood for a great adventure that lies ahead. In the ferry, we meet a bicyclist who passionately shares his plan to bike around Tagbilaran. It's inspiring to meet such people, who have that overwhelming desire to do that one thing that excites them, that makes them fly inside ;)
Mr. Sunshine hid away as we reached the island. It was drizzling and we're a bit clueless what jeepney to take. We are like being on an amazing race family edition, hehe. We asked around and glad to have people who are willing to help us out, without asking for anything in return.
After taking a jeepney and tricycle rides and a few turns, we finally reached the hotel that will be our home for 2 days in the island. We checked in, unloaded our bags, and rested for a few minutes. The sweet escape has just begun.
