The Best Holiday (at Puerto Galera)

[britishdetained]

Kevin and I loved travelling, we promised to each other that we will explore the Philippines. We both love going to beaches, caves, water falls and believe me old cathedrals (though im not catholic, i loved looking at the structures of old churches and cathedrals). Sagada, Banaue, Pagudpud, La Union, Tarlac, Pangasinan, Pampanga, Cebu, Naga, Legaspi, Masbate, from north to south and many more we been to. But only one place we both really loved going back there gain and again...Puerto Galera.

We call it paradise. It's during the holy week this year we planned taking the whole family with us to enjoy the beauty of Puerto Galera. Though its difficult to travel with five children and with my sisters and brother we still enjoyed it.

We have visited all the diving sites and the beaches around the island...went to different restaurants and ate local foods. But the best thing is...it was our first time to have all the children in a holiday (as we dont usually take all of them). Its lovely to just sit facing the blue clear water on the beach holding Kevin's hands with all the children sitting next to us. We watched the sunset and even fell asleep on his shoulder. We both made a promised that each year we will choose a place to go to and take all the children with us. Its like a family bonding as we both were so busy with the new established business. Its our first time to totally be a whole family, its so lovely. I wish that - that will be forever.

Now, that things have changed...I wonder if we can all be the same situation as we were in Puerto Galera. I wish we can all sit facing the blue water and watching the sunset with all the children around you...

Yeah, puerto galera is also a popular diving and snorkeling spot in the philippines....:xxgrinning--00xx3::xxgrinning--00xx3:
Don't worry, i'm sure the day will come and you'll be back there with your family to bond and have fun, the way you used to,
for now, just be strong and think of positive things and a great future ahead, when this mess is finally over....:xxgrinning--00xx3:

Nothing better than sitting on the beach at dusk listening to the waves and watching the sun going to bed,you will see it again :)

Thats progress,its a whole lot better than incarceration with no news,no legal contact,and no idea where or when the process is going to start right?At least you will have some indication in what direction your going to take later in the week :) Good luck tommorrow :)

i hope so... but i was told really by the people from the court that the resolution for the dismissal will be approved. just keeping myself praying.

Thanks..
