As a tourist, I have flown PAL. Once in the air, it's a great airline. The problem is getting in the air. Delays, cancellations, etc. For some reason, once in the Philippines, it is assumed that "filipino time" is ok. Well, for the rest of us, it is not. Where I come from 2:00pm means 2:00pm!<br /><br />Anyway, sorry to vent... I just hate to see so much potential squandered. I am even aware that that comment may offend the sensitivities of some. I just feel like saying it. I'm just one person, and most likely "wrong", but for what it's worth, there you go!<br /><br />Anyway, I've always enjoyed your blog, even if I have only visited sporadically.
