It's been a long trip getting here, but we just finished lunch, and are getting ready for our first dive. The trip started out with a bit of a headache. We had the world's worst check in agent at the airport, who caused a stink about the weight of our luggage (which actually was withing the limitations that we were given) and the only way to complete our check in without over a hundred dollars in overweight charges each, was to join the frequent flyer program for thirty dollars each. Smell like a scam to anyone else? She managed to make checking in take almost two hours. The picture here is her standing on the luggage scale badgering us, even on the scale she is still shorter the me.
After we finally got on the plane, the bad news was it was leaving late, just after midnight, the good news is that the delayed departure was because we were skipping the stop in Guam, so the flight was only twelve and a half hours instead of fifteen. A short layover in Manila later and we were on our way to Dumaguete. Greeted at the airport here by two of the resort staff that we remember from our last trip. Lots of the staff here actually remembers us, so we're already having a great time and feeling relaxed.
Off to our first dive in a little bit. I'll add a post later about the dives today. Probably won't have any dive pictures today, but there will be some to follow over the next couple of days.
