Greetings from steamy Manila

I'm trying this on the iPad, so sorry about any misspellings. It also doesn't seem to like the blogspot interface, so hopefully this will actually work.

Anyway, it's darn humid here. Think Houston in June. Luckily we've been able to get to the mall both days this weekend. Yesterday we both got our phones set up, only for Pam to have hers stolen out of her purse within an hour. This gave me an outstanding opportunity to buy a new phone, which I have kept for myself (with the approval of an indifferent Pam - though I suspect she'll have a new one before we leave Manila.).

The apartment is pretty decent, once you get past the tiny non-master bedrooms. Ous is big enough to be two bedrooms, and the other two, if combined, would be about the size of one. Fortunately we have a rather large living area. Turns out we probably could have brought more of our furniture than we did, but I still think it's better to have extra empty space than to not be able to move because you have too much stuff. And our shipments aren't here anyway, so maybe we brought more than I remember.

William is enjoying the new place, especially the playground. Once he decided the pool wasn't too cold yesterday, he had fun there, too. Patch, for the most part, is indifferent to the whole business and just keeps on doing whatever he does. Oh, and the plane ride was tolerable. It's incredible how much difference it makes when you can just put the headphones on the three year old and forget about him for a while.

That's it for now. Hopefully the house will be wi-fi enabled and hooked up to cable in the next week, but for now we have to sit by the pool to go online (I know, the horrors!).
