Well, we're in Cebu again, which is the only reason I'm able to post this. I'll be heading back to New York tomorrow for 2 months. As I mentioned before, it's with mixed feelings. BTW, JustSumGai, you mentioned that you wouldn't be able to leave if you were in my position. One of the reason I need to go is something I never would have even thought of before. Even though we were finally able to get a generator, we still have no access to the web or email because the internet box in our neighborhood is not up. Because of that, I am completely cut off from my finances. There are places I can go, such as here in Cebu, but I am not about to do any banking on a public access internet such as the one here in the hotel. You have no idea what a feeling of isolation and helplessness it brings. I haven't accessed any of my bank or brokerage accounts in 4 weeks. For all I know, my accounts could have been hacked, and I'd have no way of knowing. It happens (ask Thailover 57). You might say, "Well, what did we do before the internet." What we didn't do is worry about our accounts being hacked, that's for sure.
You know, even with the generator, my feeling for the past 4 weeks is one of being covered in sweat, and being unable to sleep because of the brutal, relentless heat. My face always felt as if it were going to burst. Anyway, I'm going to hit the sack now. My next post will be from the U.S.A.
