Thanks Laine and Maj ! You and others have used the word "finally" ... have I kept you all waiting for my decision ?!!
It only took 32 years !Just imagine ... equivalent to Maj's lifetime to date - and before Liane was even born!
Yes Arthur, I never imagined it would have taken so long
I was a lecturer at the University of Glasgow and they had a link with Universiti
Malaya, so I was "lent" to that university for a year to teach medical students. During that time I visited the Philippines (twice) for professional reasons. When I returned to the UK, my career took over, I got married, had a family, divorced, and retired. But I never forgot Malaysia and the PhilippinesBoth countries are beautiful with many wonderful people
Somehow it was the Philippines that I wanted most of all to visit again. This will be a dream come true ! It will be fascinating to compare what I remember from those years ago with how it is now, and visit new places. Forgive my self indulgence with this post - life is imperfect, I have a "healthy" cynicism, but now I've made my decision .... I can't wait to return ! Yes !!!
YesI can fully understand your sentiments, Alan ... being very like that myself. It's often said we should never look back - but then, WHY NOT? Between my two visits to the Phils in 2008, I had occasion to attend a Boys' Brigade Reunion in the small town of Kinross ... near to the village where I lived after moving from my home city of Glasgow. I met more than a few old pals (some of whom I hadn't clapped eyes on for almost 50 years) that particular Sunday. It was [almost] like old times ... and I wouldn't have missed it for the world! So GO FOR IT, my friend ... and enjoy every minute!Yes Arthur, I never imagined it would have taken so long

Nice one!
Though you do not write books, you are the writer of your life. Because everything depends on YOU.
