These sensors are not quire as available as you would think right now. I am a supervisor in a large nursing home, and we have been trying to get non-contact temp sensors for over 3 weeks. We finally got a couple of them 2 days ago, and we are working them endlessly. We have a lot of catching...

Holy Christ! I was set to leave in mid April for Sabang, and my agent was going nuts trying to make it all work. Now it's all cancelled, of course, and we are waiting it out with everyone else before we try again. This is very sobering and instructional when we look at some of the containment...

A guy walks into the hardware store and says to the clerk "Do you have any 2 watt bulbs?" The clerk answers him "for what?" The guy says "That's good enough. I'll take 3."

My heart goes out to all of you, and all I can say is this will eventually blow over. As someone or other once said about this place, "I WILL RETURN!" You can bet on it!:usa:

Which is why I like the vented N95 masks like the ones 3M makes. They exhaust breathing gas through a big vent in the front of the mask, but clamp shut when you breathe in. Makes it a lot more comfortable, but they are becoming very hard to get, unless you want to pay an obscene price for...

You are right! Strange how I forgot that.:facepalm: However, we are usually lucky to get ONE out of most people.:eyebrow:

The usual instructions are to wash with warm water and standard hand soap (NOT antibacterial soap!), and to scrub all parts of your hands (especially your nails!) for a full 20 seconds. Humming the "happy birthday" song works fine for timing this. Then dry with a paper towel if possible, and...

So far no mention of any changes in price, but the dance isn't over yet. Things have been fairly quiet for a few days now, and if it just holds this way, I won't complain. But we have a month to go, and anything can still happen. I only hope there is still something left of Sabang when we...

Just now I found on the Delta site that they are routing us through Tokyo instead, which is what I wanted in the first place! At least, it looks like it. I suppose I should just sit back and let my agent work it all out, if such a thing is possible this far out. We will see, won't we?:popcorn:

Well, phooey. I am supposed to be in Sabang in Mid April, but Delta is doing the monkey dance with the airline schedules. I was supposed to fly non-stop from MSP to Incheon in Korea, and then onward to Manila. Then Delta cancelled my flight from MSP and routed us through Detroit! Now I hear...

Me too, by mid April. I just hope they will continue to let my airline bounce through Inchon airport in Korea. :whistling:

I have many fond memories of riding that hang bar during my safety stops, and it was a unique thrill which I have never seen anywhere else. And the diving! OMG! I remember hanging in the gin clear water over enormous coral cliffs which drop away to the abyss and seem to extend on forever...

Well, if you use facemasks, be sure to get N95 respirators (if you still can...), as those paper masks you see everyone wearing in media pictures are next to useless here. They leak air around them badly, and even the N95's have to be fitted to your face correctly to ensure a good seal. The...

Angelyn's? We will be staying there. Any further insight on their restaurant?

As I mentioned above, it has been a couple of years, and I know things tend to change. One of my favorites, the Blue Ribbon, has moved to Anilao, for example:rolleyes: So, I was wondering what is new or recommended recently. We are also partial to oriental food, which was hard to find the...

We are scheduled to dive with Frontier in Mid April, (provided ANYONE is going anywhere by that time:shakehead:) and it has been a couple of years since we were last there. We typically depend on the large assortment of restaurants for supper, and I was wondering if anyone has any...

Egad, we certainly opened a can of worms here, didn't we? Restrictions on DAN by state- who knew?

This was the first I had heard of this, so as I am pushing 70 myself, I had to look into this. Now, my info is for US divers only, but with that caveat in mind, here is what I found. I called DAN direct (which was fun, as their non-emergency number was very crowded with a long wait on...

And keep your wits about you when using taxis in Manila. If you look prosperous and "western", there are taxis who will try to cheat you. Many comments about this on the Philippines forum, but if you maintain control of the situation, you should have little trouble.

If it isn't one thing, it's another. I am booked in mid April for Sabang, and I thought my only real problem was how I was going to get there with the mess they made of getting across the Batangas strait. So far my flight is going through Seoul, which is okay as of now, but I suppose that is...
