Philippines Trip

We took a trip to the Philippines last week to celebrate Art turning 30.

Happy birthday old man!

We flew into Manila last Tuesday and were planning to fly to Coron, off of Palawan, the next day.  That flight got canceled, so we stayed another night in Manila and were on the island by 8:30 Thursday morning.  Thursday and Friday we hired private boats to take us around to some of the great beaches and snorkeling sites.  We stopped at Malkaouya Island, Banana Island, Cauayan, Twin Lagoons, Kayangan Lake, Banual Beach, and Siete Picados.  The water was crystal clear and warm.  Lunch was prepared onboard both days for us.

Before the trip, we got a GoPro.  We had some issues with it (all user related) so we only got a few videos from the second day.  Here's our first YouTube video, mostly taken at Cauayan.  And, yes, Art picked the music.
