There’s a new link on the right under Blogrolls. LeeAnn has started writing a blog and has three entries in it so far. It’s worth checking out!<\/p>\n
My Manila business trip is winding down. Tomorrow is the last day at the office and will be a busy day as I try to wrap up everything here. I probably won’t be back until next year. I couldn’t get a flight out until Sunday, so I have another Saturday to do something with. I’ve been able to make arrangements to go to Corregidor Island<\/a> for the day. One of the fellows who has been expat here in Manila for the past year and his wife will also be going. It’ll be interesting to talk with her about what it’s like to be an expat wife in the Philippines. It must be something to get used to. She can’t ride in any of the public transportation such as jeepneys, busses, or pedicabs. She has to have a driver take her everywhere and be with her while she’s shopping or doing whatever. You have to be very careful what you buy to eat and everything has to be washed in a bleach solution before being prepared for cooking or eating. So, I should learn a lot about what it’s like. That’ll hopefully keep me and the other guy from talking shop all day!<\/p>\n Then it’s up to catch a 5 a.m. shuttle to the airport for the 24 hour flight back to Pocatello and my own bed. I’m right ready to go home!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" There’s a new link on the right under Blogrolls. LeeAnn has started writing a blog and has three entries in it so far.
