It’s a little nod to Wayne’s World, but instead of ‘party time, excellent’ (if you are aware of the cult nineties classic) I will be diving into one WORD each day. It could be something I learned, something bizarre that happened, a favourite word that I have rediscovered or just a thought that won’t leave me alone.
If you’re joining in on today’s word, feel free to use this tag to connect your post to the series: #WaynesWord
Today’s word is DISEMBARK.
Meaning – to leave a ship, aircraft, or other vehicle.
This seems fitting today as we left Manila this morning for the island of Boracay. I absolutely love this word and I was reminded of it today with Philippine Airways. They have a great method of disembarking by asking each row at a time to collect their over head luggage and leave the airplane. I thought this was great as normally people all stand up together and it can become frantic as everyone is desperate to leave.
We loved our short stay in Manila and I will post our highlights soon. We are now in Boracay for the next few days with the aim of relaxing and appreciating the beauty on offer here.
Interesting that an airline has chosen an orderly disembarkation. Most of the airlines used to do that in the early 80s but dropped it in favour of cutting time at the gate (I’m a pilot). It resulted in chaos (and often still does).

That method of diembarkation should be employed by every airline. Enjoy the rest of your holiday.
