That’s where I be until bright and early tomorrow morning. Then, we’ll catch our flight to Siragao Island. So here’s a down-and-dirty update on the trip so far.
Swan and I loaded our bags into neighbor Jeff’s car at the agreed-upon 7 a.m. departure time. We then drove to Clark Airport in Angeles City, arriving at 8:15. We parked and waited for the 9 a.m. bus that would carry us to the Manila airport, where we finally arrived a little after noon. We called a Grab car to take us to our hotel in Makati, but the reception staff wouldn’t let us check in until 2 p.m. So, we went across the street and had lunch at a friendly sports bar named Shooters. Now I’m in my room and in an hour we will take a walk to a part of the city I’ve never visited, BGC.
Hopefully, I’ll be back to regular posting tomorrow from General Luna City in Siragao. Until then, here are a few photos from today’s adventure (so far):
Then we stopped in Angeles to pick up more passengers. Next, the driver and his assistant stopped to grab a sandwich. It was almost an hour before we were finally on the expressway to Manila.
And that’s where things stand as of now. Back tomorrow with more.

Have fun in Manila (looks like there are daycent drinking spots there like). The way that we can fucking drink a handle a day and still be alive is actually insane. I’m currently on a two week bad bender (sleeping all day, vomiting, not eating and then falling back asleep, and chugging a bottle of vodka) and can’t believe i’m still alive.
Manila gorilla! Enjoy yourself out there. And for God’s sake, do not ever read that book.
Kevin, the odds of my reading any book these days are about the same as the odds of me losing that gorilla belly.
Turbo, thanks for your support! Sounds like you’ve mastered the art of overindulgence. Well done!
