The journey begins at good old Winnipeg airport. Next stop, Vancouver.

Meet Mr.Bill. He will be accompanying me on some of the Philippine adventures. Hopefully the clay-man doesn't melt in the tropical heat. Once I get to packing, Mr.Bill will be the first in the luggage.

The Christmas season has just passed and the new year is creeping around the corner. In eight more days, I will be heading to warm tropical climates of the Philippines for 20 days. Now, you would think I've started packing. Usually, I would have my clothes lined up to place in the luggage. Maybe it hasn't set in yet. Maybe I'm still in Christmas-mode. Whatever it is, all I know is that I need to start. I'll probably do it tomorrow
