The news about the third case of COVID-19 patient who flew into Cebu came in a week shy away before our planned week long vacation. At that time we were contemplating if we were to push through with our plan or move it to a summer vacation sometime May or June. I double checked if we can move all our booked and fully paid airline tickets, hotels, car service and results showed that we can do it at the same rate except for our plane tickets for Bohol because we bought the tickets at a promo rate. We didn't want to spend more and so we prayed and traveled as planned.
