A great collection
With only a very few exceptions, these all have one thing in common - terrific smiles. And, as one of my sayings goes: Smile and the world smiles with you!

I might have known the puck would stop somewhere like this.
A little slow for a certified first responder. All the same I appreciate it, mate.

Sounds like fucking Victor Meldrew, not the reds fan that took it all in his stride. Get in touch mate, love hearing of your travels, Palolem\'s still tourist paradise, Patrick

I don’t believe it!
You’d sound like Victor Meldrew too if you were a reds fan! I do vaguely remember those days of zero responsibility when I took it all in my stride; going, doing whatever, whenever, wherever…Speaking of Palolem, we do have two-months off this summer, which isn’t the season for Goa, I know. Though when our kids have mastered the Mandarin, I reckon we’ll need a year or so in India, or the Asian circuit more generally, to unwind.

Shame
I wish all our experiences travelling could be positive. The next entry may well tell a better story, though not neccesarily a a more postive one. I just hope the casual reader realizes that unfavourable situations do occur when travelling, anywhere, though these should not lead to sweeping generalizations or judgements of a people or their country. I'm sure even Ryan has a good side... atleast some of his fellow check in staff do;-)

so sorry to hear that
you should call cebu pacific or send an email about that Ryan. Gorgeous photos by the way. I've never been to Pagudpud. You made it look like paradise

Pagudpud is a nice spot.
Ryan neither works for Cebu Pacific nor Fillipino immigration, which is what makes the whole affair so frustrating. In his defence I don't doubt he could claim he was enforcing the rules.

Must be derby day, eh!?
I thought about giving Ryan a Liverpool kiss, I really did. But Singaporean law is notoriously draconian when it comes to such matters.

'The Ryan'
We have also met a couple of 'Ryans' (using Ali's definition above!) in our time too. Not surprisingly they were usually affiliated in some way to a Filipino airline! Sometimes you just have to take a deep breath and jump through the hoops no matter how stupid the rules are! We are looking forward to reading your next blog which continues the story...we know what it's like being robbed of everything, left without a penny. Luckily we had Donna's parents with us when it happened (also in the Philippines!) and they could give us their bank card to use until we could get a replacement. Still a nightmare though!

Ryan's building quite a reputation off this...
Perhaps he should think about setting up his own little airline. Ryan's Air, perhaps? Oh wait a minute...

I wouldn't have put up with Ryan either...
but at 63 I've earned the right to be a curmudgeon as Linda calls me. Note to self...never fly Cebu Pacific. Anyway, I'm glad that David's recent blog of your time in Shanghai inspired you to continue the blogs of your trip from NA to China...although I can understand in this case, and following, why you would rather forget the whole thing. However, your Followers are waiting with anticipation to receive the bad news.

Putting up with Ryan.
Had Ryan let us on the plane he would have dealt with one of the most charmingly beautiful families he's ever likely meet (Papa notwithstanding). Yet prod us with a stick, and Papa (and momma bear) can become rather tricky customers. Anyways, I should have the bad news to you by the end of the week...

Read with my morning cuppa...
every now and then we all meet a "Ryan: noun: miserable person whose only pleasure in life is wielding whatever power they possess to the detriment of others". I'm looking forward to part two... the trials and tribulations of even the most seasoned travellers are great to read.

Seasoned travellers.
You know I have noticed a very distinct change in the way people interact with me since I started travelling with kids. It doesn't matter how seasoned you are, people see something else. Of course sometimes this can work to your advantage, sometimes to your detriment. One day soon I'm sure you'll encounter this.
