7/24/10
I am posting videos on Youtube of my time in Manila. My ID there is jimtexan1.
I and Chris, my co-worker (he's the big guy in the vids), finally arrived in Manila at about 11pm. We made good time from Dallas to Detroit; then hit a snag due our connecting plane arriving late in Detroit. We then got delayed further due to thunderstorms. It was midnight Saturday night local time by the time we got through customs and baggage claim.
We waited for a car from the hotel to pick us up. The guy there was very nice; giving us water while we waited. To make up for a long trip, they ordered a Mercedes to drive us back. Edwin, the driver, drove like a bat out of hell because he, "knew all we wanted was to get a warm bath and go to bed." During that quick trip we had damp towels, water and candy to enjoy. A whole army of staff welcomed us at the hotel and made sure we got settled in quickly.
I tried to video the sights on the trip to the hotel, but it was too dark and we were going too fast. I'll post some shots on Sunday.
The other vids from tonight are of our car and the room I have for the next 3 weeks. I'm going to get used this life style real quick.
