The Same Name

Left the apartment at 12.00 noon.
Checked in at the airport at 13.00.  Proceded to the designated gate.  Hubby spent time looking around to see if there was a shop selling my favourite snack, but no luck, but that was okay.
Take-off on the dot at 15.15.  Believe me, this was amazing.
Landed in Roxas ('Rohas') City, province of Capiz on Panay Island, on the dot at 16.35.  Believe me, this was also amazing.
Took a 2.2-hour bus ride to Balasan, in the neighbouring province of Iloilo (two syllables = 'Ilo-ilo').
Took a 15-minute tricycle (tuk-tuk) ride to our resort in Carles ('car-less'), right at the beach.  Actually, we were fetched, thankfully.  By the time we arrived, it was a little past 19.00.  A long day, but we didn't get lost.

This is the partner of the owner.  I'll call him NZ because that's where he's from.  Actually, he has the same first name as hubby.

Part 2 of our holiday has begun = island-hopping in The Philippines.
