[Terpe]

Wow, well done Steve .......happy hols :xxgrinning--00xx3:

[andy222]

Not a place I would choose to visit but I wish you a great holiday and a safe return Steve.:xxgrinning--00xx3:

[stevewool]

thanks all, to tell the truth Andy i would have loved to go to the phils, but i was torn about going so far for a holiday and i thought it would be wrong to enjoy myself there while there are thousands suffering, just my way of thinking about it,
I still need a holiday, Ems sister is there and Ems has not seen her for over 6 years , as long as i can do some of the things that i would like to then all will be happy i am sure

[andy222]

You have a point steve. Good luck to you mate. I think my first trip when my Mrs gets here will be to Norway and meet my sister in laws and maybe fit the Northern Lights in.

I'm sure you'll have a great time, new year in Dubai is a blast. Appreciate that it's a significant distance between Abu Dhabi and Dubai but there are plenty of things to do in Abu Dhabi worth seeing, including Ferrari World if you like cars.

When are you going Graham ? I fly out to Cebu on January 19th.

[grahamw48]

January 13th...but may be heading down Cebu way later. I've not really put a final journey plan together yet. So many places to go and people to see. :smile:

[Ako Si Jamie]

Have a great trip Graham & Steve.

Graham, Sheavens is a very nice place to stay, thanks for the tip. One hotel I would go back to. :xxgrinning--00xx3:

I take it you know of that British Pub, The Midnight Rambler in Subic. Nice place with good prices. One of the regulars was a rottweiler too. :icon_lol:

[grahamw48]

Thanks Jamie. :smile:

So you stayed at Sheavans ?

Yes, I know all the places at Barrio B and Baloy. I think Midnight Rambler specialise in country music don't they ?

[Ako Si Jamie]

Yup. Stayed in Sheavens for 3 nights.

Midnight Rambler played punk music when I was there. I think the owner must be a big fan of The Who and the Pistols as there is memorabilia there.

[grahamw48]

Wow !

That sounds fun...and DIFFERENT ! :xxgrinning--00xx3:

I might go through to Subic next month, so I'll pop in and have a look. :smile:

[Ako Si Jamie]

It's at the end of the strip next to Flash Rats or something - same end as Sheavens.

[grahamw48]

Oh yes, I've been in there before, but I know they change so quickly. :xxgrinning--00xx3:
