I have paid for a Cebu Pacific promo flight to Tagbilaran as early as February but ended up flying to Cebu just to get to Bohol. Unfortunately, my friends and I failed to check-in earlier at the counter. We were ten minutes late and it wasn't boarding yet. Imagine how frustrating that was while we're arguing and semi-begging to Cebu Pacific officers to let us in as we counted the last few minutes of boarding time.
With only budgeted cash in our pockets, the options were limited. Frustrated, in panic and helpless, Ms. Editor thought of flying via Cebu as Cebu Pacific has more Cebu flights at a cheaper rate. Luckily, there were still seats available at a relatively cheap price but still, we don't have extra cash. Think... think... think... we need to get to Bohol today!
I'm not into credit cards but I have one as a supplementary card only. I also don't usually bring it with me for security reasons. Desperate move was to call my bank and ask for my credit card details. Surprisingly, I got the info that I need over the phone and was able to book the late afternoon flight to Cebu!
RJ, our driver/tour guide, welcomed us as we got out of the terminal. He picked us up with his Toyota Vios which cost us Php450 for 4 pax (port to Dumaluan Beach Resort 2).
Tired and hungry, we asked him if he could drop us in a nearby restaurant where we could get some food to-go. He recommended to dine-in instead as it might take us some time to get to the resort due to the bridge construction and town fiesta events.
