Change of summer travel plans
This was supposed to be the year wherein Eliza, Marc, Megan , my crew/the guys/Pincho Crew (however I refer to them or they to me), my brother and I were to visit Cebu and spend the summer there. Then plans started changing. It started off with Eliza thinking of doing two trips this summer - Cebu and Jamaica, which quickly changed to her wanting to just go to Jamaica. Being that I was in JA 3 times last year, at this point, I was willing to go back there with my cousin AND still go to Cebu with my bro and friends.
Then, I received a bulletin from my firm that Ernst & Young personnel has been restricted from traveling to the Phils., until further notice, due to political instability. What the hell?!?!? I understand there has been some political turmoil from the Muslim terrorists there, but I would like to think Cebu’s not even close to being affected by this.
Nevertheless, I extended this news to my cousin and friends, which made it easier for everyone to completely change our travel plans for the summer. The concern was not so much the fear of the "political instability" (I still think that it’s hyped up too much), but more on the possibility of traveling back with hitches. There shouldn’t have been any setbacks, minor or otherwise, if this was the time we were meant to go. That, and (I hate to say this) the interest quickly shifted from going to Cebu to going someplace else.
So now, all our travel plans have changed… Since Eliza and Megan didn’t get to go to Jamaica with the guys and I last summer, and Eliza’s always wanted to go to JA, we decided that the three of us take a trip there in June. So now I’m off to making travel arrangements to go back to JA with the girls. Funny how when I was just there over the holidays, I told the people there that I wasn’t coming back anytime soon - and now, I’m going to be there in a couple of months. And as far as my travel plans with the guys go - it looks like we’re headed for Bahamas either in July or August. That’s another travel arrangement I have to make.
Although I’m a little disappointed that we had to postpone our plans to go to Cebu, for the time being - MAN, I LOVE THE CARIBBEAN!!!
