Off the Radar Screen

Greetings….   I just arrived back in Manila from the second Asian Deaf Catholic Conference near Tagaytay City outside of Manila.  It turned out that the wi-fi there didn’t work–the signal was just too weak–and even my data connection on my smartphone wouldn’t work in that remote area.  I have now arrived at the hotel in Manila and am using their wi-fi so I can send this preliminary message and then get to work.  I just downloaded 247 e-mails to respond to from the last four days of no connection.  If you sent me something, I’m getting to it!  Please be patient!

Welcome to the Philippines….Not

I’m in the Philippines for an Asian Catholic deaf conference.  The trip was rather routine and even enjoyable until I actually got here.  More about that tomorrow when I start documenting the trip.  Getting through immigration was a trip and then the taxi couldn’t find the hotel.  But I’m here now and because it’s so late, I’m going to bed.  More in the morning.
