Good luck on your honeymoon!
Yea, perhaps this was some sort of divine intervention. The fact that this part of the trip could be rained out as August is rainy season in Philippines was starting to worry me. Guess I don't have to worry about that anymore. Not sure what our new honeymoon itinerary will be though as the Philippines was a nice intermediate stop between Hawaii and South Africa. Now the whole Asia/Africa part of the trip is in jeopardy. Grrr.
