Our group of 5 flew from Bacolod to Mactan International Airport in Cebu on November 10, 1993 to take the PAL flight PR 0302 bound for Kai Tak Airport (this airport closed in 1998) in Hongkong for a 5 day holiday. We were not part of any tour group so that our travel agency gave us specific instructions on what to do and who to look for when we landed. During that time, there were no cellphones, so that we had to rely on oral and written instructions which were simple enough I thought.
There must be more to life than just existing...I invite you to travel with me in my journey towards a more meaningful and grace-filled life...

Remembering My Hongkong Trip c.1993
The very first time I went overseas was in November 10, 1993. The place: Hongkong. The company: my mom and brother, together with a distant aunt and her grand-daughter. The purpose: primarily for pleasure but also to escort home our father's first cousin, a Good Shepherd nun who was ending her assignment there. We took the CEBU-HK Philippine Airlines (PAL) flight going there and a Cathay Pacific (CX) flight coming back. The rationale for taking 2 airlines was because my auntie-nun bought a one-way CX ticket for her trip home while we wanted to ride PAL. Well, I thought that's a good way to check out both carriers...at least I can say later I have experienced them both.
