20111223-Journey to Manila-0001-2

BruceWyatt email: wyatt6464@yahoo.com. Revised Entry: On this early Friday morning, 23 December, Elliott got up on his day off to take me to the airport. I'm happy he also walked in with me to see me off. It was so warm in Charleston, South Carolina; it didn't feel like Christmas. I'm sure it will be warmer when I land in Manila, Philippines at almost midnight on Christmas Eve. I couldn't sleep well last night, so on the flight to Chicago I napped a little. It was a smooth flight; we arrived 20 minutes early and had to wait for a gate to be free. A gorgeous, sunny Chicago morning, but the temperature is a cool 25F. I'll be hanging out for a few hours waiting on my flight to Hong Kong on Cathay Pacific. I hear ... read more

It will be nice to see the Austria family and Surat family again in San Juan, La Union province, plus Precy Janiola and her family in Cebu and Bohol. I'm looking forward to ending my ... read more

We decided to spend an extra day in the Charleston area as there I wanted to see an interpretive center that I had read about and I still hadn't had time to see Fort Sumter's visitor center ( we didn't have time for the boat ride out to the fort this time around and it was a little too chilly in January anyway ) Caw Caw Interpretive center was smaller than I had thought but still interesting. Displayed were facts about wildlife in the area and also about rice production done by slaves as the center stands on part of an old rice plantation. They talked about the dangers to slaves that worked on the rice plantation, from malaria to alligators and also about the tools used to produce rice and the process of flooding the ... read more
