Philippines in December

[Colonâ„¢]

I think I read it lasts about a day actually. I meant do-able in terms of comfort and safety.

Frankychan, give it a whirl, we hope to see you there.

Provost, we're staying until early May, so maybe in the Spring?

dang, I didn't mean to post this yet. Brb.

[Lancer]

SnOOpy, no there's not one of those near us. I just go to the 400+ year old catholic church in Jagna that Dolores goes to. Why not come and start one? Hope you can make it.

Kid, again, we'll still be there early next year. That work for you?

Zkrib, thanks for the bump. You gonna join us this go round?

Colon, 30 to 32 hours one way. I recommend it as the trip is very relaxing and an aircon cabin is dirt cheap compared to western cruises. However they have had a bit of terrorist problems. Unless you get blowed up your passport should save you. Just speak French.

Really, I'd travel by boat without fear. In all their millions of trips there's only been one terrorist related problem that I'm aware of.

I'll provide links for the cruise lines when I get back from shopping with the wife.

Probably won't be able to. I'm going to be using up a lot of my vacation time this fall to campaign against Schwartenegger's special election, so I probably won't have enough left for a decent vacation.

I just read that there were massive demonstrations in PI yesterday to get the President removed from office. Better to see how all that pans out before I make any plans to travel there..

The, believe me. She's the shopper. I exaust the tools dept and electronics pretty fast. Then it's the furniture and sports...but we have all the furniture we need, and I'm too much of an old fart for a scate board at this point. Meanwhile, Dolores is stilll in the perfume dept, with clothes and the dreaded shoe dept yet to be investigated. So yesterday I just came home and she called me when done.

Zkrib, next time.

bfg, yeah that stuff happens. Another good reason to fly into Cebu. It's up to you though, but our whole region is peaceful, as usual. Likely it will be resolved by then, but it's nothing that will stop us from going. Remember there are over 100,000 Americans living in the Phils permanantly...all through the Marcos years, etc.

We called our agent and Cathay Pacific won't announce ticket prices for begining December until the end of this month, or begining of next month.


I can't wait to get em!

What was that image? Oh yeah:

[Lancer]

Actually, I'd likely go shopping for pants while wearing pants, and realize that since I was wearing pants I really don't need em, and go see what's new in the comp game store.

[Theben]

You'd likely be wearing pants, huh?

[Lancer]

You ever get that yob you freeloader you?

[Theben]

Zkribbler, not as much as I clash with my blouse.

It'll be fine. The president's in a world of trouble, but it's purely political; the military and police are remaining studiously neutral (as is the Church), so whatever happens should be peaceful, and the aftermath should be stable.
