My Trip to the Philippines Has Been Cancelled Due to Security Reasons.....

.....so I'll be heading back on Wednesday May 11th--or at least that's the plan although I haven't had any ticket changes or confirmations yet. This is a first for me and I hate missing out on the trip but evidently there are some labor issues including violent strikes and it's definitely cancelled.
On a more positive note, I'm headed south to Bali tomorrow morning (Saturday) and will stay overnight and return Sunday. Bali is advertised as "the last paradise" and is supposed to be spectacularly beautiful. We'll see.....and there will be pictures, of course......
