I was taught: Whisky on beer, never fear BUT beer on whisky, always risky.

Considering that you are heading for a momentous bout of drinking Tanduay Rhum should you be drinking beer or begining to season your system with something harder?

[VITE1]

Have a good flight!!:seasix::shots::seasix:

Make sure you get up and walk around as much as you can on the long leg to HK.

I think it's the other way around. Whiskey First, Beer Second. The logic being that if you are already drinking beer and switch to hard alcohol, you were already on your way to being drunk so it's easier to go overboard. Also, beer being less potent with more water actually hydrates you as well.

In all honesty, I have never paid that much attention to it, and never had much of a problem. As long as you aren't getting seriously tanked.

Good Luck on your Journey Dixie. :cert:

Just wanted to let you know I am here in the city.. and Tata (@ the right) showed up here tonight with two bottles of Rhum, and will be with me tomorrow at the airport to pick you up. :lol:

Luckily he brought his laptop with him..



The word is out to the kiddies here on Kaimito Street that Santa will be here tomorrow.

If you are too tired when you get here we can always do the small party here Sunday night.. :seasix:

He's dressing up as Mrs Santa Claus and handing out presents to the poor Filipino kids. The donated money was used by Tim to buy the presents.

There should be a number of LBFM's walking around the airport.:seasix::shots:

Too bad he can't get into town. The HK skyline at this time of year is amazing. They have slight shows on many of the skyscrapers that just blow your mind. Best skyline in the World IMHO

[Rob]

Amazing how nice people are here. I went to the help desk to ask how to get to the lounge and after they gave me directions, they gave me a gift. It is a nice looking keychain, not sure what it is made of but it was the thought of it was great.

This is a huge airport. I have 6 hours to sit here in lounge so not sure what to do. Just had my shower and will get massage shortly. Enjoying some chicken and lemongrass with mushroom fried rice. It is awesome.

Hell, you got good folks, good food, killer massage and flammable liquids.
Sounds like you got it covered :dance:

On a side note, if you were to head to mainland, you'd find they weren't quite so friendly; particularly at the markets. They are very abrupt and pretty nasty at times, especially when it comes to hagglin'. :yesnod:

HK airport is like Rodeo drive without the stuck up Californians. If you smoke cigars Cubans are relativity inexpensive there. Also a good bottle of booze is easy to get as well.

Sooner or later the Jet lag will hit hard. Make sure you have someone in the lounge know you have an early flight. They will come wake you up if you ask them too.

Gene,

Dixie is heading to the Philippines, and going to my village here to act as Santa to give toys to over 400 Kids.

Also we are all helping to rebuild homes lost during the last Typhoon here that wiped out out Island.

Listen to this guy, he knows Asia well.. :yesnod:

I just hope Dixie is alright with the Jet lag and slept enough to be ok for tomorrow, if not.... I will let him sleep off a day to catch up.

I always sleep a lot on the plane so it does not bother me much.

I found the best way to beat Jet lag is power through it.

When he gets in get him to a place where he can take a long hot shower. The moist air re hydrates the lungs and nasal passages plus makes you feel better.

Then switch to cold until it hurts . Then spend the rest of the day trying to stay with local time. ( I found drinking always keeps me going.)

The next day let him crash around 3-4 PM for 1-2 hours. After that no more naps ( unless you are down at the beach drinking Rhum).

I envy Rob. I have never been to PI and look forward to getting there someday soon.

I slept some. Wide awake right now.

I will crash out on the plane to cebu so I know I am rested when I meet you. Cannot guarantee I will stay awake all night, but I can be a trooper and hang for a while.

Been on the chat with cap'n john. He just told me there is a 7/11 next to where I am right now and has cheap beer. Might need to walk over and grab a 40

I am in the lounge but the bar is closed. Plus, I didn't pay for the unlimited alcohol thing just the shower, wifi, sofa, massage, buffet

And if you do get pork/chicken sticks from a street vendor, you may be better off not asking if it really is pork/chicken. :D

4 hour before my flight to Cebu. Hanging out at a USB port I found with 10 other people.

Rob, I'd like to take this opportunity to publicly thank you for making this trip. First, because it will make 400+ kids' Christmas into a very happy event and second for your efforts in coordinating the relief efforts for Tim's town.

Now, with that said, go have another drink.

Well, without the support of the people here as well as my friends and family, we would not have been able to provide so much for those whom have lost.

I look to you guys with great appreciation and know that I am blessed to be a part of this endeavor. I have really witnessed an amazing amount of community here and how much each and everyone here has played a role in helping out.

I have a feeling this will not be my last trip over there and this will not bet last role as Santa for these children. I hope to continue this year after year.

God bless you all and wishing you all a very Merry Christmas with your friends and family.

Rob

[GentleBen]

It's 9:00 pm in the Philippines and if Rob followed his projected schedule he has landed, met Tim, met Tim's family, had a drink or two of Rhum and is now safely asleep suffering from major jet lag.

Hopefully Tim will get some pictures of a bleary-eyed Santa passing out gifts in Cebu when he wakes up in seven hours or so.
