Arriving in Manila

11:30 pm and I'm landing in Manila. I make my way through customs and to luggage claim with a gentlemen I sat with on the plane. He had been before so he was filling me in on good spots to check out. I end up at pick up where I'm accompanied by Michael Holtz (USA) and Percy Lorenzo (PERU) and our guide CeeJay. It took about 20-30 minutes for us to get back to the hotel where I met Francois Nel (SOUTH AFRICA). We ended up rooming together for the first night. Getting up at 4:30 in the morning was my fault. Due to the time change my phone didn't reset itself completely and I ended up setting the alarm on it way earlier then I had planned. Good times :)
