it saddens me to no end, but i have to cancel my Island Hopper trip next month because a big work project sprung up. and again, yes, i do work<\/strong> \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

while the Island Hopper flights themselves\u00a0didn’t make it to my bucket list, it’s just a damn cool way to cross the Pacific. what did<\/em> make my bucket list<\/a>, though, is Palawan. doesn’t it look gorg?<\/a><\/p>\n

alas, i was hoping to take time off since El Nido only gets a handful of hours of electricity a day, but even if i could have workationed from there, this project is so intense i’d basically never see the light of day anyways, so i might as well stay home. luckily i thought ahead and booked fully refundable accommodations, but the flight was $960.90.<\/p>\n

i’ve (luckily) never had to cancel such a big trip before so i’m not sure how best to proceed. unfortunately, you’d think with all of these flights at least one would have had a schedule change so i could use that loophole, but NOPE. basically i see four options:<\/p>\n
