Doug Nienhuis, April 13, 2011July 16, 2025

I tried to buy a ticket on a ferry yesterday, but they only sell them on the day of departure. I assume they do this to prevent scalping, but I can’t be sure of that. I was worried about the timing of all this – my tricycle to Mambajao, jeepney…

April 6, 2011 – Camiguin Jess and I made plans to climb Hibok-Hibok volcano the next day. I wasn’t positive I wanted to do that. It seemed like a lot of hard work for very little reason. And, to be honest, I wasn’t sure that given my poor physical condition…

I do my best to prepare for these things, but what with fatigue, the complexity, and the security systems at the airport, it’s…
