Arrived into Dumaguete yesterday afternoon after a brutal 46 hours of travel and not one of our 5 checked bags arrived with us. We have no gear, few clean clothes and very little hope the situation is going to change anytime soon.
We stopped briefly at a shopping center on our way to Mike's Dauin Beach Resort to pick up a few articles of clothing, but weren't very successful. We're not obese people, but we definitely aren't the like the petite Filipinos that these stores cater to.
I talked to Philippine Airlines in Manila this morning and there clearly wasn't a sense of urgency as far as tracing our luggage..."maybe we'll track it down tomorrow, ma'am" was her parting comment.
This trip is 7 months in the making and this is frustrating as I'm sure you can imagine. We're going to head back into Dumaguete shortly in hopes of at least finding bathing suits and some undergarments. Anyone familiar with this area who might know where we might be successful? Also, has anyone else been in this predicament with Philippine Airlines and know what our odds are of getting our bags in the next couple of days? Seems like there is one speed here and it isn't fast...
Thanks in advance!
