can say ,
it will be a new spring camp ,
like it seems every year ,
so planning takes time ,
as we got to get use of a pool the accom is not easy to find , for lots of people ,
then we got to find run tracks bike loops , and now ,
the chicks want shopping , centre , so
we are looking and have hit a potential target , but its xmas and so the powers that be
are not there ,
so , we have to wait
airtickets , are always cheaper after xmas , any way ,
i know some like to have it all booked like 3 months ahead ,so they listen to airlines and internet rip offs that say you get it cheaper
total horse shit , i get around at about 1/2 of what most pay , jan specials will come up , because they want to get people places in feb as the holiday season drops off ,
every body except aj steph and bella will be in places where training is no hassle .
oh and reto and nicola ,
so we wait , and see , at worst , we will go back to pang ngha , and stay at one of 2 hotels 400 baht
a night .
so while i dont think we will be doing that , plan b and c are in place .
i can say , that the place we are casing is
subic bay phillipines , for those that want to check it out on the internet .
the old usa naval base .
it was there ,for its control of asia , and so pretty central for both itu and wtc races .
it is serviced by 3 airports , all less than 2 hrs from the joint
you can even get a strait flight to hawaaii from there , strait one from usa , strait one into korea , same for japan singapore kl and aus,
so
its appealing , it is a touch hotter and same humidity of hawaaii but not as hot as borsaen .
so i think it could be very good , and i can start and underpriveldged team tbb kids program
as soon as we are settled

Been there, inside Subic and then outside Subic, like night and day.
Biased US influence gives lots of options for tax free "yankee food"
Very professional mindset with a breath taking forest of which I am convinced we will use and abuse of hill 394. Dont break the law inside Subic!

night and day ,
what a good description ,
and again spot on with the law , drivers are scared shitless to go fast inside the base .
so its a driving haven after what we been used to, and if you forget , you can just go over the bridge to remind you hihihi
i found evry fast food joint , there is on the planet with in 1 km of the joint , but i dint find wendies but i found 5 kilo while i was there ,
so night and day again , girls stay in by day and guys stay in the compound by nite ,
and there will be plenty of abuse on the hill whatever the no is

Just some "food for thought" as you might be looking for a new location for the camp.
It would be great if for where we are based if some these things are considered,
Not having to rent a car. If we can walk to almost all daily things , that is good. For ex:
Super market
Laundry
Pool
internet
The other main concern we have is the saftey of the roads!!!!
I know for us, fast food, shopping, ect are not priority but rather focused on saftey, affordabilty and daily essectials being easy to access.

And oh ya, Subic has its own little airport, maybe if your management invests in a second hand aircraft, we would save money in the loooong term and just THINK about the convinience and prestige...
We could even paint it pink!!

very clever ,
but ithink our first priority
is to get a jeepeny and paint it pink .
that should go off .
but we see ,
first priority , is vicinity to a new team tbb development .
i know some of the first team i took to brasil ,
while riding our 1km loop
or running the down town main street ,
said what are we doing here ,
well its 5 years on , but we got 350 kids ,
doing better for themselves , getting access to food, education, and some friendships that will last for their life .
that is what we will be doing there .
we went to thailand for that , but unfortuneately circumstances beat us their , but only the first 3 rounds ,
we will sort thailand out , when they sort themselves out ,
but the next stop , has to have social action .
that my only priority .

I was just admiring all the stamps in my passport when I noticed that my visa to go to the philippines was only 21 days long, did some google search and thats a fact. But, getting an extention or a proper visa is no drama, as long as theres no procrastanation...
Just though I should throw this into the open.
