My father’s side of the family is originally from an island far away from Davao City. Of course now direct flights are offered but my uncle who is going there for vacation said going to the island by ship is still cheaper. So he embarked on his journey yesterday and he will be arriving there sometime today. Which reminded me of the time I had the same trip with my family. The ship was very big and my sister got seasick. I made friends with another girl and we played with her paper dolls. The bunk beds were cool. The ship purser looked stern. And the food wasn’t that great for my taste. I remember I was looking for some pizza. Lol
Have you ever travelled by ship?
Photo cracked me up.

I've traveled on ski boats, row boats and pontoon boats but have never been on a ship.

@sol_cee If Covid wasn't still a thing and I could afford to go on a cruise, I'd like to.

I have been on numerous cruise ships throughout my life. The big ones, with 5000 passengers and 2000 crew. They are like floating cities!
I haven’t really planned out any big vacations this year yet. Maybe I can come visit you?

@sol_cee Hey, I have an idea! Since you can’t get a visa to come visit the US, how about you get a job on a cruise ship, and then I’ll book a vacation on that cruise ship so that we can meet and have lots of fun together!

I have travelled by ship a few times back when I was a child and as a teenager. I can't say it's my preferred means of transportation because I get seasick and throw up. But I remember enjoying that one trip by boat going to Tacloban because I saw a lot of flying fish.
We might fly to Davao City by September. My husband was born there.

@sol_cee yup. my father-in-law attends his alumni homecoming at St. Peter's College in Toril every 2 or 3 years. He's 85 now so we'll have to accompany him by plane.

I just had a trip to palawan weeks ago. We first went to Underground River and then to El Nido too. It was a short vacay tour since we only availed of the long weekend last June 12. it was a bit late for summer outing but I think we just got there in time since the weather was not so hot and it was raining too but we generally enjoyed it there.

The photo and the caption are perfect! I thought it was a small boat in the ocean.
I've never been on a boat or ship trip. I guess I would be seasick as I often get nauseous even during bus trips. I may go to Baguio or just spend the vacation here in the city. This would depend if my sister invites me or not.

Is that the boat that goes to Puerto Galera? Gosh, I don't know how I managed to ride that for like 4 times. I probably won't do it ever again because of the huge waves that we encountered last time.

The only time I travelled by sea was in a sailboat owned by my best friend. I was prepared to be seasick but I wasn´t. We had fun. I was told there would be mosquito but that year they went elsewhere. We made our own food. This year I will not go anywhere.

I thought it's a ship! Yes, I travelled by ship to Cebu City many years ago.But we always ride a fastcraft or interisland vessel going to Mindoro.
