    Plans are coming together for August

    Everything is starting to come together for my trip to the P.I's in August following my enforced change of itinerary. I'm going to Manila for a couple of days to meet a new 'friend', then over to Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia for 6 days to see some ex-pat friends, then back to Manila for 6 days and down to Puerto Galera and Oriental Mindoro to see my 'friends' hometown.
    Roll on the 20th when I get back into NAIA

    I was going to post lots of photo's on Facebook when I came home, but as it turns out I actually deleted the former a few days ago after I had been warned she was going through my Filipina friends and trying to add the ones where it looks like there might be something going on

    Can I come with you?

    Puerto Galera is such a nice place. I've been to a little town by a slow, big ship in Oriental Mindoro where my bestfriend lives. I loved the place!!!

    One more week and it's August so I wish you goodluck on your trip.

    Fingers crossed you'll enjoy your holidays and no typhoon whilst you're there.

    Where in Manila are you going? Do you know somebody from there?

    Of course you can, why not I'm sure your husband might be a problem though

    I am really looking fwd to it and counting down my days now, and hopefully the weather will be ok. I always stay in Ermita when I'm in Manila, but my friend lives in Cavite and works in Makati, although her family home is in Oriental Mindoro, so we are going down to Puerto Galera on the way to her family home.

    Do you stay in the "Pearl" by any chance when you're at Ermita? The guard there, nice guy, called Canoy ... chatted with him in Bisaya the last time I was there ... his family are from close to the city where i lived in Negros Oriental!

    It's been 6 years that I'm longing to come back home... still not so sure about coming home this year, everything is too comlplicated I want to scream!

    I know there are a quite few foreigners in Ermita. I remember when I passed there one time and I've seen this fish and chips shop. I wonder if it's still exist. I want to go there and have a go and taste the Philippine version of the English fish and chips as it's one of my faves

    My family lives in Taguig and it's not far away from Cavite.

    I did chat here with somebody from Cavite but can't remember her name now, is she your friend? Maybe if you mention a name i will remember...

    James - I usually stay at the Best Western in Ermita, it's a great hotel for the price and highly recommended, but this time I am staying at the Lotus Garden which I have heard is just as good and similarly priced.

    Gecko - My friend is not a member of the forum (yet), although she is one of my FB friends if anyone who has added me wants to take a stab in the dark. I'm not giving too much away just yet as we have been getting on great for the last couple of weeks and I don't want to tempt fate. I hope that you manage to get back home to see your family and friends soon, that must be hard for you not seeing them for so long.

    Pray that i get my visa soon as im thinking to get a return flight as its cheaper then i can give you the flight back to Philippines so you just have to buy a single ticket back to the UK whenever you want! Hows that Venus?

    wow,

    that's a lovely generous thing to do

    If i was V, i would be "biting your hand off" right now.

    only problem being is that it will be in 'reese name and not V! I guess it's cheap enough to change name of passenger!??

    Puerto Galera is nice , went there this May and had a great time , highlight was renting a Banca Boat for the day at the sum of 1500 peso and havin the boatman take us to white sandy beaches and seeing the most amazing coral , a fantastic time for sure .

    I even hired a motobike and went out to the waterfalls and drove around some small villiages etc etc a memorable time thats for sure .
