I am finally in Manila (13 hour direct flight from LAX) and I just ate breakfast with Andrew, Brian and his family! So yummy — garlic rice, Filipino style hot dog, corned beef, papaya, eggs (I did not eat any because I don’t like eggs), sweet cheesy bread (forgot the name already but this was my highlight)…

The flight was not too bad… I slept for most of it. I got to see most of Kung Fu Panda, which was a very cute movie. I wasn’t crazy about the airplane food, but they sure did feed us a lot — full dinner and breakfast meal… And Andrew and I lucked out by getting a couple of empty seats between us… Enough room for my favorite travel buddies — I brought along a couple extra plushies this trip and Charisse got me one too!

I am just resting in Brian’s old room… Watching You Don’t Mess With The Zohan… Saw some Hello Kitty stuff at LAX but I will resize and upload later… I am looking forward to shopping at Gift Gate (I am told I have access to a couple of nice malls in the area)… ^_^
