The David B.Katague Clan, Thanksgiving Day,2009We left Sacramento November 29 and did not arrived Manila until Dec 1. We missed our connection in Honolulu so we have to stay overnight. Hawaiian Air gave us hotel and meals voucher because of the delay. We stayed in Makati until December 4. In Makati, we had lunch with Macrine's cousin Yong Nieva at his new restaurant, The Romulo Cafe in Quezon City. In the resturant we meet a couple of TV newscasters. The food was delicious and reasonably price. On our plane ride to Marinduque, Zest Air gave us a hard time regarding our ticket purchase on line using my sister-in-law credit card. Zest Air has to wake her up at 5:30AM just to get a copy of the credit card. What an archaic way of verifying ticket purchase on-line. I complained about the procedure to no avail. Anyway the 30 minute fly time is worth the hazzle in the airport.
Currently Macrine and I are enjoying the sites and sounds of rural Philippines. My internet connection here in the bondocks and so slow, I had to go to downtown Boac to read my e-mails. So my friends, readers and fellow bloggers, this is just to let you know, I am enjoying the slow lifestyle here in rural Marinduque, Philippines. Wishing everyone a Happy Holidays in advance.
