Uh oh...
Not sure how flooding in the Philippines will affect my trip. I've emailed my contact at the hospital and waiting to hear back if Sagada has been flooded as well. Even still I doubt at this time I could even fly into Manila. My flight isn't for another 2 weeks so a lot could change. And another storm could still hit the Philippines.
I made it to Ko Samui. After one very long flight, and 2 short ones. I wasn't sure if I could make the second flight since I only had half and hour from the time I got off the first plane to get to the next, which was on the other side of the Hong Kong airport (the largest airport in the world.) But the staff escorted the 2 of us who had to catch the next flight by taking us on the subway in the airport.
My first night here I stayed at quite a nice place called Shambala Resort on Big Buddah Beach. The room was quite clean and cost 500 baht ( about $15) and I ate breakfast on the beach. The sky is overcast right now and it's windy. But it makes the temperature comfortable, not too hot or humid.
Today will be taking a ferry over to Ko Phangan where the full moon party will be and I'll be meeting a friend there as well.
