25 October 2024 Manila: A Long Day of Travel

 


We left the hotel at 9:15 and got to the airport rather quickly.  Check in was easy and we headed to the small lounge to wait for our flight.  The boarding time of 11:40 quickly passed and soon we were looking at a 3:10 departure.  That time passed too and we did not take off until after 4:20 PM.  We kept in contact with our driver and finally around 5:30 we got out of the airport.  We were off to Sebang quick enough but it was already dark so our drive was bereft of any tropical views.  The road was very winding and bumpy to boot.  We were both beat and sore by the time we get to the hotel around 8:30.  


Lots of planes were taking off, just not ours


This small lounge got hot and stuffy pretty soon after we arrived


A big fire off in the distance


More standing


Enough light to see Palawan 


Islands and inlets


One skinny island


It is very narrow


It looks like runoff from the beach due to the recent rains


Smaller Islands off in the distance


Puerto Princessa has a tiny airport


Can you hear the crickets?


As the luggage comes out, there are so many boxes instead of suitcases



 It has been 2 years and 141 days since we began our Migration
