Waiting for our transport to the airport this morning, so let’s see if I can dash out a quick post about our final day on the island spelled Siargao.
As already mentioned, we were supposed to take an island-hopping tour to bring our vacation to an adventuresome conclusion. The rainstorm and ensuing tour cancellation laid those plans to rest. Instead, we had one of those nothing-special days that can still be satisfying. A walk to the drugstore, a revisit to the Books Cafe for lunch, blogging, then a meet-up with Jeff and Davina for some drinks, dinner, then more drinks. Yep, almost like being home.
We had planned to start our last night on the town at a brewery Jeff had spotted up the road and down an alley:
We were looking forward to another brewery tasting, and then the waitress gave us the news: they were sold out of beer—all of it. That sure sounded like bullshit, but maybe they aren’t brewing much. Looks like Dr. Chris won’t have much competition.
So, we walked back up the road and climbed the steps to give this place a try:
Then it was time for some Spanish dining:
After eating, we went upstairs to the bar for our nightcap.
And then Swan and I headed back home, stopping for some ice cream along the way. The day was nothing special, but still a nice ending to our Siargao vacation.
Continuing on with the November 2015 LTG archives, my last trip to the USA with Jee Yeun at my side. Getting there turned out to be a nightmare. I hope today’s flights back to Manila go better than that one.
From Facebook memories:
Eight yeas ago, I achieved this milestone:
For today’s YouTube video, I’ll share this short from Smart Girl Philippines about “secret menus” that Filipinas have to offer.
And a little bit of humor:
By golly, I got this post done and still have an hour before my ride to the airport arrives. Yippie! We’ll see how I do from Manila in the morning.
And now I’ve reached the end of the line.
Overall, it seemed like a good and worthwhile trip, with plenty to see and do, and with some logistical hiccups along the way. Keeping those hiccups in mind (they seem par for the course in a poor country), would you do this sort of trip again, and would you consider making it just a you-and-Swan thing sometime down the line?
Safe trip back.
Looks like a bodacious time was had by all. I ordered toilet paper and someone stole it off my front door now I’m out of 20 bucks and still using sandpaper paper towel to wipe my ass.
Safe trip home.

Koko, if you actually read my blog, you’d know I got back to Luzon last night. But thanks for the kind words.
Aloysius, made it!
Kid, There is always water. Cleans better than paper, too.
Kevin, yes, travel comes with frustrations, but Siargao was a nice experience, overall. Yes, I do hope to return to Siargao again. I’m already thinking it is way past time for me to hit another island paradise that has been on my list for too long, Bohol. It’s nice to have travel companions, but I have no issue with only sharing the adventure with Swan.
