WE MADE IT!!

We made it!!! What an interesting trip! It all started by boarding the plane in Corpus Christi and then immediately de-boarding the plane. There was an issue with the plane and this caused us to miss our scheduled flight!  We really didn't want to go back home and leave the next day, so we were redirected through San Francisco.  This new flight also added some "bonus" stops...in Guam and Manila. I have never been to Guam, but from what we saw in the dark from the tarmac is that there is lots of palm trees, a Mobil gas station, Subway and the good ol' Golden Arches!  We had many hours in the Dallas airport, we made the best of it by power walking, shopping, and playing UNO (thanks Colleen!).

The South Texas Team made it to the Philippines!!  Here we are VERY tired in Manila.

We made it to Cebu and were greeted by the Cebu Rotary Club, who will be hosting and entertaining us for the next ~4 days.  We relaxed at the hotel and then had a beautiful dinner at the Marco Polo Hotel hosted by Ricky Dakay and his wife, Gina and Son, J.R. and Edgar Chiongbian.

After dinner, we enjoyed a tropical drink by the pool and listened to a great band called Kerara Soul.

Over the next few days, we will be meeting the rest of the Cebu Rotary members who have invited us to a nice welcome dinner and heading to the beach.  Stay Tuned!
