Vacation! The last 8 months is all about the next two weeks. We're off to the The Philippines to get married again! In this blog, I'll focus on the things we ate
and we ate a lot!
Breakfast and Lunch in YVR
Our flight is at 2:25 PM (Pacific Time), but we're so excited that we're already
at the airport at around 9:00 AM. We took a Yellow Cab going to Vancouver
International Airport (YVR), and knowing full well that the check-in counter
will still be close, we grabbed breakfast at Tim Hortons.

By 12:00 NN, we're done checking in and going to security. We're enjoying our
Chinese cuisine lunch at a place called Hanami Sushi (yes, I know, it's
confusing). After lunch, I asked hubby to buy me Starbucks drinks. We're now
waiting at the Gate.

Japan Airlines
I have a new favourite airline. Actually, it's not the airline that I like
exactly but the planes they use. The chairs are arranged 2-4-2. Yes, there are
only two seats near the window, so I have the window seat, and hubby is on the
aisle seat. It's so much easier to move around without a third person to worry
about.
Food
I prefer food from China Airlines. The biggest surprise in JAL flight food is
they give you a cup of ice cream. I didn't finish it, but it's such a pleasant
surprise.

Amusing to see a local (Vancouver) gelato maker supplying for JAL!

Narita International Airport (NRT)
Our plane arrived in Japan, and we have less than 2 hours to go through security
and board our connecting flight to Manila. We wanted to explore, but it has to
wait on our return.
For now, we went directly to our boarding gate and ate at the closest
convenience store. I would have ordered the curry, but it would take 10 minutes,
so I opted for their ramen and noodles.

Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA)
At around 10:30 PM (Philippine Time), we arrived safely in Manila. I was tired
and angry (my default mood after flying trans-pacific). Our flight left Japan
1-hour late, and we were circling around NAIA for around 30-minutes (according
to hubby - I was sound asleep when they made announcements) because of airport
traffic.

That's it for Day 0 of our vacation!
