On the 13th of February we left Puerto Princessa proper for the Daluyon Resort on the other side of the island. It’s about a 2 hour drive now that the road is paved and the resort provided a ride to pick us up at the Hibiscus Inn and return us in a couple of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I just came back from watching the Legend of the Guardians, the …oh the heck with it, just call it the “owl movie” in 3d.&#160; I enjoyed quite a bit.
The story is fairly basic, as one would expect from a movie taken from a children’s book. A&#160; young owl is kidnapped, finds evil goings on, [...]]]></description>

Pretty good actually.
Firstly, lets deal with phone and internet which haven’t changed that much. Phone service is the [...]]]></description>

Just got back from a short trip last weekend (4 nights ) to the mountains. We went to Revelstoke, which is a bit of a drive but is less expensive than Jasper or Banff, and somewhere a little less travelled. In fact I haven’t spent any time in the Revelstoke area for around 25 years [...]]]></description>
