"why not a baguatte"

What's that?

Even better than slices would be the baby bell cheese or gouda. Both come wax wrapped and arrived in Iraq without any spoilage.

"I know of a couple that live there full time."

Ted, what town? Can you see if Dolores and I can visit them?

[Lancer]

Zkribbler, just tried contacting you at your day phone but no luck. When is the best time to call?

Our plans have changed slightly for the trip. We'll likely be leaving on the 9th now. Dolores expressed the wish to be home for her birthday which is the 15th. This will also allow us to get the house ready for guests. We can still have folks met at Cebu or Tagbilaran. My brother in law, Boney, can meet you in Cebu and help you the rest of the way. For him to meet you in Cebu will cost about $30, as this is aprox the cost of his jet boat tickets back and forth and a meal. Getting met in Tagbilaran airport is free, likely I'll meet you there myself.

Anyone wanting to attend Dolores's birthday party can do that too.

Zkribbler is still the only sure thing...anyone else firm up their plans yet?

Btw, I cleaned out my PMs.

Edit, so you are still planning to leave late Sept?

[Zkribbler]

Ben - pay attention.

For anyone who cares . . . I'm just off the phone with Lancer. My intentions are still to head over on the 20th or 21st and stay through the big fiesta day which IIRC is Sept. 28th.

29th



Ben, are you planning on flying with us or is it ok if we just meet you at the airport?

[Ben Kenobi]

Planning to fly with you, if I can.

I'm also trying to negotiate with a friend of mine to hold off on paying some of the money that I owe him so that I can go.

Right now, I'm moving again in September, so I have to pay 350+ a deposit. I get 250 back on my current deposit when I move. I owe my friend 300, and I'll need enough for a month here plus the 900 to fly over.

So that comes to minimum 1200 dollars that I have roughly 2 months to earn. If he's stiff necked, that's 1500$.

Another interesting site. Check out the 'Prisoner in Paradise, Bohol blah blah'

[Zkribbler]

I tried, but it says "Page Not Found."

[Lancer]

I'm all over it!

All is lost...wonder what happened? Anyway it was about Panglao Island, which is connected to Bohol by a bridge located in Tagbilaran. Do a search for 'Panglao photos' and check out this tropical paradise Zkrib. Also look for Boracay island. Nice, but you have to take a boat there. A cruise to Manila costs about $35 for a cabin w/ shower and bathroom. From there you can connect almost anywhere.

The main cruise lines are WG&A and Negros Navigation. Search those and check out 'accomodations' and schedules to places of interest.

There's an interesting looking volcanic island between Bohol and Mindanao that needs exploring one of these years...'Camiguin island'. Search, check it out!

[Lancer]

Ok, new plan . We're leaving on the 21st, flying through San Francisco. I'm buying the tickets tomorrow...

San Fran is centrally located for both Zkribbler and Ben. You guys can meet us there or further on. I'll have all the ticket details tomorrow.

Yeah.

[Lancer]

We bought our tickets yesterday! The itinerary should be here in a couple days. When it gets here I'll send the details to those who have sent us contact info.

I'm in a magnanimus mood, here, have a smiley...enjoy!
