Malapascua trip for 2010

[shugar]

12m? excellent... just deep enough for me to drop like a big led weight, crash to the bottom on top of some pristine coral and then over inflate my BCD to do a Korean rendition of Red October breaching (but only after kicking some more coral at the bottom)...::kiss2:

you are the best at it master hahahahahahaa

Mike - drop your 40D housing while you're at it - so I can retrieve it

Mantas?

Pffft. Cockroaches of the sea, they are.

Mantas don't exist. they are a world wide practical joke, and everyone is in on it - except me!

Is this itinerary still up to date?

Finally booked my flights to Manila. Is everyone on the same flight to and from Cebu? If so, can I get some guidance on flight numbers and which airline? I'm sick of travelling alone and it would be nice to have some company for a change. Neighbour Iris, are you driving to the airport?

Hey Guys,
Off topic but desperately looking for some info, I will be relocating to Malapascau I have an abandoned dog I picked up here in Spain and I am trying to bring her with me, could any of you give me any advice on the best way to get her over there? Right now through regular airline cargo it is going to cost me 11/2 times my ticket price for her.
Cheers,
Chris

Hi Matt,

I'm still waiting for your e-mail with regards to the package rates. Do you have websites for resorts near Evolution? Since I'll most likely be hanging out at the Evolution bar, I wouldn't want to walk/stumble too far.

Aircon and "cold" running water is all I need. A short walk to the beach or beach front would be a bonus.

Looking forward to "Open Ipod Night" at The Craic House.

Cheers,

Marvin
