2007 PI Trip Itinerary

“Just the facts ma’am.”  – Sgt. Joe Holiday (Dragnet)

PI Trip 2007

When:  July 19 to Aug. 16

Flights: Northwest Airline
Outbound:  Chicago-Minneapolis-Tokyo(Narita)-Manila

Homebound: Manila-Tokyo(Narita)-Seattle-Chicago

Planned stops that is subject to change:
July 20-23    Manila

July 23-25    Legaspi, Donsol

July 25-28    Cebu

July 28- Aug. 11   Bohol, Dumaguete

Aug. 11 – Aug. 16    Manila
There’s still lots of holes in the itinerary to fill but none that I can do in the states at the moment.  I’m planning of finalizing some flight and hotel accommodations when I get there.  Looks like July 21st is when I’ll be doing most of it.

Looking forward to visiting the islands again and seeing family but I’m dreading the 32+ hrs on the outbound travel.  What? 32+ hrs!!! Yes, by the time I get up to leave for the airport and by the time my head hits the pillow on the other side of the world, the elapsed time will more than likely be 32+ hrs.

Let’s do the math shall we.

I’ll get up at 1am on 7/19 to head to the bus station.  Wisconsin time 1am 7/19 Manila time 2pm 7/19.   13hrs difference.
The planned arrival time in Manila is 10:30 pm add 1:30 hrs for taxi ride and hotel check-in that’s 12:00 am  7/21.   That’s 11am 7/20 Wisconsin Time.

So, 1am 7/19 to 11am 7/20 = 34 hrs travel time!!!  Holy Crap Batman!

I’ll try to catch sleep on the bus ride and plane rides.

All part of traveling, Gotta Love it…………………
