For the APEC long weekend (Nov 18-22), the Sagada Crew planned to go on an island-hopping-food-tripping holiday in the neighboring provinces of Bohol-Dumaguete-Syquijor. All necessary arrangements were made months before.
Then the government decided to cancel flights.
We weren't deterred. We were able to book for the 19th. What's one day? But, then, that flight was cancelled as well. A couple of days before the schedule.
But, because we all needed the break, we soldiered on and decided to drive all the way to Caramoan, Bicol. As Elmer said, "No one (and nothing) can stop us." Surprisingly and thankfully, all arrangements just fell into place ... at the last minute (Great work, Ina!).
Nothing happened as we originally planned.
But our holiday pulled through on time. And it turned out much better than we ever planned and hoped for. Significant personal milestones and memories unfolded for each one of us. We all came out of it blessed ... and beautifully changed, somehow.
Que sera sera ... thank God! (His will WILL happen. At the right time. ALWAYS.)
