Kamala,

 Hi, can't wait to tell you about the Holy Land-AWESOME :pray:  :angel2:

Can you make sure my room will be on the ground floor because my knee is really bad(especially with all the walking I just did in the Holy Land). I am probably going to have to have a knee replacement this year :unhappy:

Take care and see you soon!:)

Deb, I bundled this post into an email to Kamala to expedite in case she has to act fast; I cannot personally guarantee success given the relatively short notice but I know she will do her best!

 

P.S. Traci I know you are TC for the Philippines, but I was in the neighborhood and thought it best to act quickly. Hope I didn't step in your toes. :angel2:

Hi Laura aka pinkmedic, I am just getting back from another trip and catching up with everything.  Since we have the same flight, but would be like to leave with the group and do a little touring of Manila.  What do you think.

Kamala, did you get any information on the hotel. I would like for you to arrange a room for me. thanks :wavey:

Hi ! No worries. I actually changed flights, I will be in Manila just after midnight on the24th, ( so I will have all night and day to kill before our PM transfer,), and then I am actually not flying home until the 3rd now...so I have 2 full days in manila on the back half....I think I may do a day trip to Mt. Pinatubo :) ...I just got my flights confirmed tonight and I am going to upload them. I am excited about sight seeing around Manila with the group as well :)

I have uploaded my air info. I am on the same UAL flights in and out of MNL via Guam as Kamala. Will also need a room in MNL for 4/23, so let me know where everyone is staying and if I need to book myself.
I'd love to do some sightseeing in MNL with anyone interested if our ride doesn't leave until 8 pm, 4/24.

Anyone have hotel information for Manila overnight stay? We're just under a week out now. I need to know where I'm staying so that I can get that info to my family and have a plan.

I am also in for these transfers.... Can you add me on?? I get in just after midnight aka super early on the 24th so I'll be getting a hotel for the 24th in Manila with you all too!! And then back to Manila with y'all on the 1st too and need a hotel until the 3rd when I fly back home !!

Hello everyone joining us on the Philippines trip.
 
The pricing is awesome for this trip but the airport transfers can be tricky since its a 3 hr transfer consisting of 2 hr van ride and 1 hr boat ride. Its actually  not too bad as we did it several years ago but its quite pricey if you have the van and boat to yourself. Here is a recap of the pricing again from the trip listing details.
 
 
TRANSFER PRICING RECAP:
AIRPORT/HOTEL TRANSFERS ARE NOT INCLUDED IN THE PACKAGE PRICE. Pricing below is one way:
Until we have flight schedule for all who are attending this trip, we will not have a firm transfer price.  These are the prevailing rates and why we request that everyone attempt to schedule arrival in Manila at approximately the same times so we can consolidate vans and lower the cost as much as possible.  The land transfer will take approximately 2 hours and then a boat transfer to the hotel will take another hour.  We will post Kamala's travel itinerary here once her flights are booked so you have an idea of when to arrive.  As you can see in the rates below, if you arrive separately, your transfer will be $320; please take scheduling into consideration when booking your flights so you can share the cost and save $$.
    1-6 persons = $320.00        7-12 persons = $480.00          13-24 persons = $960.00
 
 
ARRIVAL SUMMARIES:
 
And here are MY FLIGHTS into the Philippines and we will list everyone's flights here as we receive them to coordinate the shared transfers.
 
ARRIVAL KAMALA (NOTE I have to arrive a day early so will stay in MNL the 23rd  with (possibly staying with friends) and then xfer with the first group going the 24th whenever that is):
 
 
spacer.gif
       
THOSE ON A TRANSFER FOR PEOPLE ARRIVING the EARLIEST on the 24th: (note I arrive the 23rd and will stay the night in MNL and transfer with the first group on the 24th) THE CURRENT TRANSFER IS SET FOR 8PM MAY 24 arriving to the resort approx Midnight
 
1. Kamala aka WreckWench - Arrive April 23 so will do the 8pm April 24 transfer - on 8pm-9pm Group Transfer
2. Deb aka Deb4Diving arriving 8pm April 24 - on 8pm-9pm Group Transfer
3. Shelly aka SassyLilCutie - arrives April 23 so will do hotel and transfer with group - on 8pm-9pm Group Transfer
 
 
 
DEPARTURE SUMMARIES:
 
 
 
THOSE ON A TRANSFER FOR PEOPLE  DEPARTING Manila FLYING NO SOONER THAN 12:20 on May 1:
1. Kamala aka WreckWench MNL 10:25pm May 1
2. Deb aka Deb4diving MNL May 2 - will do the MNL May 1 xfer and get a hotel in MNL for flight on the 2nd
3. Shelly aka SassyLilCutie - 12:20 pm May 1

Kamala has the info - - she's in Truk with spotty wifi but I'm sure she'll get me that info SOON and I'll get it posted.

Kamala,

 I need to know where to met the group when I arrive on the 24th around 8pm?

Oh, I say that there is a $543 charge from 3/25.  Can you tell me what that is for??

The transfer from the airport to the Charter House Makati has been updated from the resort, forwarded by Kamala via email last night (Eastern US Time):

 

Once you are at arrival area in Terminal 1, kindly ask the guards for directions to the Nissan rent-a car office.

At the rent a car office tell them your name and that you have a reservation at Charter House in Makati. The rental car staff will attend to arranging the connection with the transfer.
