I wasn’t planning on writing another post until I was actually back in the US, but I couldn’t resist. This is awesome.
I am sitting at McDonalds in Manila, and six Indian gentleman just sat next to me a little while ago. I had seen them earlier in the Hotel (Nichol’s Airport Hotel). They were also [...]

Well, today marks the day we depart from the Philippines and I go back to Maui to get some work done before continuing on to California, and ultimately, Europe.
Reflections on the trip overall will be short, as I feel somewhat in-between. It was effective work-wise only in the last few days of travel, and the [...]

A little over a week ago, when we discovered the “Art Café” in El Nido (Philippines), I discovered something else: A new addition to what I call my “traveler’s soundtrack”.
My traveler’s soundtrack is simply the music on my MP3 player. I have a single gigabyte “Sansa Express” by Sandisk. The regular “Sansas” come with the [...]

We just had the most exciting, action-film-like, and comical boarding experience I’ve ever seen, heard about, or experienced.
We got off the flight I had written the previous blog post on with only minutes to spare until we needed to be at the gate of our connection. Upon purchasing the tickets, Scott had been told it [...]

Ok, here’s the update I promised you.
It will be brief, as the past few days have not been terribly eventful.
As you probably know, we have been in “Puerto Princessa”, a city (and a very clean one at that) in Palawan. We have been spending time at “Aloha House”, an intensely Christian orphanage that has implemented [...]

Sorry, this isn’t an update. I know I have been a bit negligent over the past few days, and I will post an update soon, I promise.
I needed to post about this, though, before I went to bed, as I won’t have time in the morning.
I have been neglecting a few things over the past [...]

Yesterday was quite a traveling day…considering the flight was only an hour long.
I was packed and ready to go (the room was locked, and my backpack was sitting outside my room, on the outdoor table/chairs.
I had turned in my key and was ready for action. The only problem…was that the van wouldn’t come for at [...]

There was little excitement planned for the day, and this was not such a bad thing.
Still feeling exhausted from the previous day’s romp with the jellyfish, we were keen on doing as little as possible for the last day we were here.
We woke up, had breakfast, struggled until noon to keep ourselves entertained, and made [...]

It was “island hopping” day, and we were pumped up and ready to go. We all woke up around 6:00am and had three hours to go until the excursion was scheduled to begin. The only task we absolutely needed to do in that three hour period was to pick out our fins and masks, and [...]

As a whole, yesterday was boring and not much different from working all day in the US.
We got up, Scott and Joao had a swim, and I sat outside and wrote for a while. We had breakfast at Lallie and Abbot’s resteraunt, and plotted out the days ahead. We decided to go “Island Hopping” the [...]
