Cool Doc!

Maybe you can suggest a place? Then again Hennme should know the area better!

Your treat

Hehehe, Tentative on either, but if anyone else is joining and has a specific schedule, then we can for sure adjust to it

Could even be both too!

Either day, or both, are fine for me. May I suggest Mario's Garden Grill Restaurant (N9 47.484 E125 29.636). They have food and drinks at reasonable prices, plus WiFi.

I just got back from Cebu City. The ferry I was on passed through the site of the MV Maharlika 2 sinking and we managed to rescue two people.

I assume it's in RG map of course? Sure, unless Mdmjay have another venue in mind or suggestion.

Wow! So you guys contributed in lowering the death toll from the latest accident. I actually didn't know about it until I read your post here in RG. Will be a nice topic to talk about during EB on how the rescue went.

Yeah seriously if anyone else will join in any of those days, I am almost sure we can work around our scheds to meet up with you.

Yes, Mario's is in the RG map. I included the lat/long to make searching easier. You can also ask any tricycle driver, and all of the downtown jeepneys go right past it, too. But any venue is fine with me.

Good luck with your EB. Send some pics mga kuya

Jayteecie, Didn't know you are based in the area too! Yeah too bad you won't be around.

Oh, one more member joining, archie0222 should also be able to join

Will try to remember to take photos, usually we forget to take photos once we get started chatting and talking shop.

Arvin I'm from Butuan city and not Surigao city, about 2-hour drive away.

[arvin555]

UPDATE!!!!

Mini-EB will surely not happen tonight! Most of the attendees are stuck in their original cities. I am still in Manila. Thanks to over abundance of Precipitation (Read Heavy rain) in Surigao City and Butuan this morning.

Will be trying to get there tomorrow, so hopefully EB will still be on Tomorrow night and because of this, there is possibility to extend the range of EB as Sept. 18, 19 and 20th. Seriously.

Sorry about this Henmme69C but we will try our best to get there

Jayteecie, actually we will even be trying to fly to Butuan tomorrow and drive down to Surigao as the flights are fully booked tomorrow. But if you are around 20th, please let us know.

Hint: when going through Cabadbaran, don't take the bypass; that's what all of the buses, jeeps and tricycles use, and where the bus terminal is located. I've found that it's easier driving to go straight through the 'downtown' portion of Cabadbaran.

Enjoy your trip.

OMG, checked the flight status of Cebupac and 2 flights for Butuan were cancelled indeed. We were on the first flight this morning and luckily, it was only delayed by 30mins but not cancelled. Unfortunately, my return flight will still be on the 22nd. Hope you'll be able to land already tomorrow. Enjoy guys😄
