Three hours from boarding.

I just checked in my luggage. Before that I went to the gym. (It’s amazing how many pounds you can put on over the holidays.) While waiting in the line to check-in luggage I heard some of the older folks speaking Tagalog. I’ve found in my adult years that hearing Tagalog makes me smile. Not to sound corny or anything but nothing else more content than being surrounded by Filipinos speaking Tagalog. I can’t wait to get to Manila to start this thing.
