Day 42 Manila, Philippines

First of all, I have to say that this visit was simply wonderful….  The Filipino people have welcomed us with open arms and it is a wonderful place to visit.  Last night I loved getting together with old friends , very special evening.  Today we took it a little easy.  Brad, Gloria & I made our way to the Mall of Asia, with over 4 million square feet it is a huge place to visit.  We just saw a small part of this mega complex.  Next stop was to the Spa for 2 hour massages.  Now that is the way to spend the day.  To top it all off, the Filipinos put on a show dockside to say Bon Voyage that lasted at least 1 ½ hours.  It was a very emotional time for families and crew as their loved ones prepared to go back out to sea.  Speaking of the sea…  apparently we have company, another tropical cyclone is coming for us…  hate when that happens!  Just hope it doesn’t affect our visits to Yap and Guadalcanal, both first time visits for me….  Hoping for a nice relaxing, sunny day at sea tomorrow.
