Moving to Cebu in 35 days: H E L P

10 years ago
Hello to all: This is my 1st post here, but I have been reading this forum for about 7 or 8 months. This is my 1st trip ever to The Philippines. I am arriving at The airport in Cebu on Aug. 28th, late in the evening, and will be there until mid Feb. If there is anyone in the Cebu City area that can give me some much needed guidance, I would be so grateful. I need to know things like, is there a certain taxi service that one could recommend that is most importantly, safe? Where is the best place from touchdown to convert $USD to PP? What area in the city is a good place to stay for the 1st week or so, till I find a place to live? I am a 60 yr. old male, but retired at 45 here in the states. I really need to learn the ropes as they say, but feel a bit overwhelmed at this point, but very excited for this adventure, and I really hope to make a lot of new friends on this site and any of you expats in the area. I really appreciate any help from those of you that can take the time to guide me in the right direction.

Thank you all,

Roger N.
