Packing

I'm often asked how I pack for a 6 months stint in the Philippines. That's an outright lie, no one ever asks me that, but I do have a method to my madness that may be worth sharing.

Step 1. Take 3 tours through the apartment and throw everything you may need in a big pile. (See below)
Step 2. Place above items in two large bags along with your scuba diving gear, passport, and tickets. (See below)
Step 3. (The one I have the most trouble with) Show up on the right day for your flight.

Back!

It's official, I got my 48 hours notice.
No I didn't get fired... I decided to go back to the Philippines and I'm leaving Sunday.
The holding pattern I was stuck in since my last post finally broke (for which I am very grateful).

So now that I've rejoined the "Perpetual Traveler's Club" it's time to reactivate this blog to tell everyone where I am and what I'm doing.

Check back and I'll be in a new time zone.
