Manila Planning

My boss has been asked to deliver some training in the Philippines describing how we develop business cases for government, and he selected me to go with him. We are a team of three - Bob (the boss) Rebecca Adams and myself. Bob and I did a couple of post-graduate subjects together at ADFA (UNSW) and Rebecca and I were on the Project Managers Development Program together, so the team has a comfortable feel, so it should be a good trip.

We have spent the last week putting together our lecture and syndicate work pack for the week, and we will be heading out of Canberra tomorrow (22/7) morning, getting into Manilla around 1930 tomorrow night.

I had an email from Barb Stewart during the week - we met in South America last year - and she reminded me how exciting it was to climb Tungurahua, near Banos. So I have set a goal for this trip to get down to Taal, and walk up that. It will have to be on this Sunday, as I have already arranged a half day tour of Intramuros on the only other day that we are free.

PS - mea culpa to all of you who got an email saying I had arrived. Was showing a friend at work how Travelblog worked.

PPS - Route map of the trip - sort of. -->> http://www.travelblog.org/gmaps/map_1CD.html. It should appear as a graphic, but if it doesn't, you can copy this into a browser.
