The usual whirlwind [2017-03-15]
And suddenly here we are, just three days from departure… It’s the usual frantic mix of finishing the planned tasks, dealing with surprises, trying to get equipment where it needs to go, and saying good-byes to our loved ones here. Neal and I also took a few days off last week to make a long-anticipated trip to the island of Palawan. It was nice to have a few days of down time before the final blast of work.
