Cashew Manga
For those who asked we stayed at the Cashew Manga. They have two oceanfront places, one large one with cold water and a smaller one with hot water, for 2500 pesos. The other rooms (maybe half a dozen) are 1500, no ocean view, cold water only. But all were nice and clean.

Hotel?
Great blog. Can you tell me where you stayed in El Nido, and if you'd recommend it (did it have a decent bathroom, etc.)? Thank you!

Wow! El Nido seems really fantastic! Anyways, may I know the name and contact details of the resort where you stayed? The resort's location (well, from the photos that you've posted) seems pretty good. Thanks.

Your 1st post
Have followed your trip from start to the end and enjoyed your posts. If you were to look at your list of all the stuff you took along with you, What stuff did you find that you could delete.... I know that we always pack more than we could ever use...

hahahah! KKK is in no way a reference to Ku Klux, but was rather a tagalog acronym for an anti- Spaniard revolutionary group, during the Spanish colonization. Have a gerat time in PI

Those are the small ones?
Can't even imagine a full sized whale shark if those are the half size ones.

KKK
We learned that historically, the KKK (Katipunan) was the secret organization of revolutionaries who fought for the Philippines independence from Spain. When we told our taxi driver what it refers to in the US, he was surprised!

I'm dissapointed in the boat driver
That would have been an opportune moment to fake like you all needed to pull your hardest to get the engine started and then just let you and Stephanie launch yourself off the back of the boat as you pulled on nothing

The sunglasses industry is huge here... no problem finding more! But I've actually held on to the same pair for over a month now. New record

I'm impressed
For a guy that sounds like he loses his current pair of sunglasses every 2 days you sure manage to find some good looking replacement pairs every time.

beautiful!
I have loved your commentaries and photos of this remarkable journey you have been taking together! Thank you for your details, photos, and musings. I feel like I have been taken along on the ride...So much beauty you have taken in - to last a lifetime! The Daddy, Daddy incident sure sounded anxiety-producing and scarey though! And I imagine you surely saw abundant poverty and pollution. Mary's photo of the river was ghastly! I'm glad you were able to be so immersed in nature...Love, Nancy

That ride....
That ride looks more like one of those Kid's Land rides, Toads Great Adventure or whatever it's called, at Disneyland. It's just flat! But leaning over the edge must have been awesome.

Are those hills natural?
They seem so dispersed and on such flat land to be natural, they almost look like ancient burial mounds or something

Loved Your Blog
Thanks for a well-written series of articles. A rarity these days. I am heading to the Philippines for a four month trip in January. Regarding costs for lodging and food: Were they higher or lower than your expectations? How did they compare to the costs in Vietnam? Thanks for your help and by the way, the photos were wonderful. You either have talent or you have mastered Adobe PhotoShop. In either case, it's all good. Mike Richards Florida
