The completely uneventful flying experience ended in Manila right on time. My luggage arrived (although my digital camera has been pilfered from the suitcase!!) and I was in the hotel by midnight. Now I just have to deal with the jetlag. I was up at 6:15 this morning and after breakfast caught the 7:15 shuttle to the office. The day has been busy with meetings and in a couple of hours I’ll catch the 5:30 pm shuttle back to the hotel. I think then I’ll crash for the evening … or at least for a while. There’s a meeting at 10 p.m. that I should be attending on the phone. We’ll see if I can actually make it to that meeting.

The weather here is actually quite nice. It’s about 85 today with hazy sunshine and fairly humid (but not oppressive). Hopefully that’ll persist until the weekend. I’ve no idea what to do on the weekend, but I’m sure I’ll come up with something interesting to do. Meanwhile, I just want to go to bed.
