About worldwideG:
I quit my job in June 2006 to go travel the world and I'm havin' a ball! Travelling has opened up a whole new world of interests and opportunities for me. I spent a little over 6 months in SEA and have now landed in Sydney to see family and get some work. I'm a Post-grad in BA Development & Economics. I've set aside 2 years to see some of the places i've spent 3 years writing and dreaming about! Landed a job on an island in the Whitsundays taking photographs of hotel guests which I expect to last about 6 months before I take off around Oz again.

Off to Tagbilaran, Bohol
Posted by worldwideG | 3rd April 2007
After spending the night in Manila domestic airport I boarded my flight to Tagbilaran at 6.40 a.m. After only catching a couple of hours kip on my rucksac in the departure lounge I was delighted to find myself with 2 spare seats next to me on the plane to lie my weary head on. On the approach to Bohol I was greeted by a beautiful view of the sandy beaches and gorgeous blue sea from the air. The short flight was very comfortable and I was looking forward to meeting up with Jamie and getting some dives in. Being a tiny airport, the baggage collection consisted of pulling your own bag off the back of the truck which suited me fine!! Greeted by a dozen moto riders I took the one nearest the back of the crowd just to get some space to negotiate the price, which was about $3 for the half hour ride out to Lona Beach. A pleasant ride through some countryside and I was at Jay's hotel room door. The lazy Canuck was still in his pit (granted it was only 10.00 a.m) but arose and we went out for so
