Sheila's Guide to Fast & Easy Manila (Sheila's Guides) Sheila Simkin

Why did Travels With Sheila waited a lifetime to plan a visit to the Philippine Islands? Because, ex-Marine (husband, Steve) spent uncomfortable months sweating in jungles during his Marine Corps days. No one that I know plans a trip just to visit Manila. Chances are Manila will be your in and out while driving into the interior of Luzon, and/or flying to other Philippine Islands for diving, snorkeling and fun in the sun. And why not? The Philippines climate ranges from warm to hot all year-round, has over 7,100 islands and islets, one of the longest coastlines in Asia at 36,289 kilometers/22,458 miles with powdery white sand beaches and clean, clear waters (nirvana for divers).
