Palawan, here I come!!

By the end of the week, I should be in Palawan, Philippines!!

This plan has been 20yrs in the making. Twenty years ago, my parents (with my siblings and I) migrated to Connecticut knowing that eventually they will be going back to the Philippines to retire. That plan came to fruition last April when they sold their house in CT and started building one in Palawan. Seven months later, the house is done and now the 'kids' are coming home!!!

Jasper (my brother) left last Wednesday and this coming Thursday, Joyce (my sister) and I will be meeting in Detroit to board our flight to Japan then to Manila. From there, another flight to Palawan!!

So, with a passport on hand, some cash, and a couple of credit cards, I'm almost ready to go... If I can only finish packing then I will be better off!!

One Way Travel Stats:
Madison to Detroit = 318 mi/1hr 20min
Detroit to Japan = 6542mi/13hrs 30min

Approx. time spent on airports including stop overs, custom checks, bathroom breaks, store visits, lunch, etc. = 35 hrs.

My flight from Madison leaves at 10:30am on Thursday. I will be in Puerto Princesa City at 9:30 on Saturday.

Note on time differences: The Philippines is 13hrs ahead of Madison.
