OFF TO THE PHILIPPINES, move over Mel 🤣😆

Morning all. The first leg of flight leaves at 9 pm tonight... I'm packed (29.2kg..just under the allowed 30kg) & ready for this international flight LOL.
As usual, there was a flight change that will have me running through Manila customs (yeah right)
as the change only left me less than an hourto board plane , crazy.
Looking forward to the Philippines , see everyone and getting off the planes :/
I bought the middle emergency door seat so that I have tons of legroom and a toilet a few feet away, extra $110
but it's an 8hr15 flight so I didn't want to be crammed up like a sardine.

Seeya soooonish folks

Nice! I don't miss those long flights. Took me over 24 hours to get from where I live in the US to Australia when I was working there.

Definitely worth the extra money on those types of flights. Have a great flight!

Yup,
safe and sound. I had less than an hour at Manila airport to get to my flight as they changed my Dumaguete flight less an hour so when I got off the plane a hostess holding a sign with my name on it rushed me ahead of the line through immigration and onto a bus..had 5 minutes to spare lol
My temporary computer is set up and my download speed, with PLDT, (is 5 times faster than mine at home) so I am happy with that
Thanks for asking Mel...& all. Back into ESB ^+^

Glad to hear that you arrived safe and sound!

Glad you made it OK, and that is some pretty good internet speed. Way faster than what I got.
