Our Port, The Airport

I could not think of a better topic to share since last night, my mind has been thinking a lot of things for the past few days while I worry so much that it has been a long time since my last post. I hope you guys enjoy reading and get some useful information about my blog as it is the main reason why I put up this one. Okay, now I have one important topic in mind. Let's get started. Airports. We have plenty of them here in the country and there are things we should remember. The most important is, never crack a bomb joke inside the airport as this will be taken seriously and it could be grounds for detention or even incarceration. I don't know how it started, but I get the impression that everyone is serious inside the airport. You can't be just cracking any stupid joke like that or face humiliation.

Passport Information (updated)

In the Name of the Traveler Does it really matter if your name is misspelled in your ticket? The answer is a big yes. It matters especially international flights. Immigration officers are very keen on details and it could be one of the reasons for denied entry. I do not own this photo. If you are the rightful owner you may request removal. Errors in our itinerary usually occur when we book our flights in a rush and we don't read all the reminders posted on the website or we get our ticket agents. We should always take that moment to check before we click the final confirmation button or even leave the ticket counters.

The Kid is a Traveler

Its been a while since my last post. I hope you guys missed me so dearly. I cannot think of a better topic today but I worry a lot because it seems like I have been busy doing important things and I forgot my social obligation. Funny? I hope it is. Apparently, I have the time to use the laptop because I introduced the mp3 player to my son. He finds it amusing right now and he is not disturbing me at this point. He is busy listening to my own jogging playlist and putting his imagination on the bricks that he is playing right now. Then suddenly, I realized that the music he is listening might not be appropriate, so I am now downloading children's song. Our Trip to Surigao Traveling with a tyke like Sebastian can be stressful because he thinks that the airport is a playground. He would go almost all over the place and check on us from time to time if we are still waiting for our boarding call.  Mind you, it is not safe to let them roam around by themselves because we never kno...
