Finally decided it was time to get the blog uploaded and posted. This morning we are in Manila waiting for clearance. We all have to go through the theatre where they are using thermal cameras to make sure we are not sick. Very easy and not very time consuming at all. It will still take some time to clear the ship, however. Since we are in one day early, they were not able to have the immigration officers fly over to Malaysia and sail with us to Manila to do all the paperwork. The crew can't get off until midnight since all their paperwork was for tomorrow but most of them are already excited.

We are losing about 52 staff and gaining another 52 tomorrow as contracts are ending and beginning.

Enjoying all the roos and wish their segment wasn't so close to being over.
