To Bacolod: Part 1

We got a promo ticket for Bacolod trip but it was not a direct flight from Gensan and that’s why we went to Davao first then had an overnight stay at Cebu for our Bacolod trip. The reason why we opted for the promo fare because:

1. We calculated that we can save more if we purchased the promo fare which requires us to travel in Davao than buying a regular fare for Gensan-Iloilo, then Ilo-ilo to Bacolod.
2. If we chose the Gensan-Iloilo flight, we still have to travel through ferry boat and I’m afraid that there will be no available seats on that time that we arrived because Holy week was fast approaching at that time.
3. It was easier to travel by airplane especially because we have a baby on our trip.

First Part: Gensan to Davao

So we started travelling early in the morning of April 1 since our flight from Davao to Cebu was 7:00 PM. So we left early because it’s a 3-hour ride going to Davao. Carrying our bags, we went to the terminal and waited for the bus to Davao. So this was our itinerary on April 1:

0900 – Depart from the house

0930 – Waited bus for Davao

1000 – Depart from Bulaong Bus Terminal (Gensan)

1300 – Arrived in Davao City

1330 – Lunch at Dencio (SM Davao)

1600 – off to Davao International Airport

1730 – Arrived at Davao International Airport

1800 – Check-in

When we arrived in Davao, we drop by at SM Davao to eat our lunch and at the same time I bought milk and water for Zeoh for our trip. I can say that it was not easy travelling with a baby even though its three of us. When we were about to go to airport, the rain poured down and when you are with a baby you have lots of things to consider. Luckily, we got a taxi who has an umbrella and good thing with the driver, he was very fatherly to Zeoh. We were caught by the traffic that is why we reached the airport around 5:30 in the afternoon.

Gladly, we made it through the check-in counter.
