Re: Crazy real life stories

[philstar22]

Well, there's the time we were in Puerta Galara in the Philippines on vacation and a typhoon hit. Now, to get too and from Puerta Galara, you have to take two sets of boats: The big boat gets you from the parking lot on the nearby island to the main dock, and then you take small boats called bangkaas that are basically canoos to get to your specific resorts.

My dad is scared of boats because he can't actually swim, but he would put up with going there on vacation because he knew how much my mom and I loved it. After this trip he bought himself a personal life vest.

See, this was a particularly big typhoon. It was just a couple days into our vacation and it was a surprise storm. We managed to hire a bangka to get us to the main dock. Only this guy seemed to have no fear, and he had no life vests. My sister and I being little kids who loved swimming, we thought the giant waves were the most fun things in the world. Meanwhile, our parents are in the back absolutely terrified. They actually thought we might not make it to shore. But we did.

And then none of the big boats were going out because of the storm, so we had to find a place to stay for the night. Being a kid, I just wanted to sleep and was mad that the place we managed to find was loud and had no air conditioning. But I found out later that my parents stayed awake all night because there were some really creepy men there they saw eyeing me and my sister, and the door to the room we rented didn't properly lock.

We had to stay there 2 days before we could finally head home. Until I grew up I had semi-fond memories of that as an adventure. My parents did not.

Oh, wow, that certainly qualifies, yeah!. I can totally sympathize with your parents' fear, I'd be freaking out, too! And then to be stuck for a couple days as well...ugh, yeah, that'd be so frustrating.

But I'm glad you and your sister were able to find some kind of fun in all of that. As scary as storms can be, there is a strange kind of fun about them sometimes, yes :D. And of course, I'm glad you and your family made it through all of that all right.
