Just wondered which British based members of the forum are heading over to the Phil's over Christmas and the New Year?
A month today, and I'm off for a fortnight taking in 4 days in HK and 10 in the Phil's. I have to say I am more excited about seeing my mahal again on New Years day than I am about Christmas this year.
wishful thinking on my part ian , last new years eve oover looking manila with emma by myside watching the fireworks. this year well with emma in england watching the new year in watching jools holland perhaps,
My last New Years Eve was a 9 hour wait in transit at Doha airport en route to Manila. I'm not doing that againThis year I'll be in HK enjoying the fireworks and lasers
thats on my wish list i wanted emma to meet me there last year but next time perhaps
I guess mywill be in Philippines!
Maybe next year!
I have to say Ian HK has got to be one of the best New Years Eve celebrations! Probably only beaten by Sydney!

I'll be here Christmas day, then flying back to work on Boxing day....
I fly to manila christmas day and meet my mahal for the first time boxing day
looking forward to seeing the festive season there
Xmas last year was spent in a pool in an apartment block in singers whilst at "work". New years eve was spent in a tug crossing singers anchorage for 4 hours. News years day was arrive in batam dry dock! Still We where booked into the holiday inn there, all on expenses. Stupid ,stupid dock yard. Four sailors in a 5* hotel with free tab on everything at new year. Lets just say we made up for missing out bringing in the new year properly.
This year I'll be home (first time in 3 years), family are coming round for dinner so got to cook for 10
Not sure whats happening for new year but it may involve amounts of alcohol that are considered dangerous!!!
It's been emontional
Well for me, it's not Christmas in Phils this year.
I have spent some wonderful Christmas times in the Philippines, and really enjoy it.
Christmas 2011 is our next planned visit.
I'm off to Cebu tomorrow!!

How long have you been chatting to your mahal?
At least you get Xmas day with your missus and new son. He's probably a bit too small to know what's going on this year, by the time they get to 2 or 3, they are so excited by Xmas
Hi Guys
Il be fling off to Davao this monday. Spending a few weeks there. cant wait to have my wife back in my arms
Hope you all know Boxing day is on the 27th this year!
I hadn't really given it a lot of thought, but you are correct Apo, as the 26th is officially Christmas Sunday. I don't really care what day the 27th is, because for me it's 'Packing my case' Day
Yes if your airport is open or your connecting airport is not in northern Europe, I can't believe the snow that has just fallen tonight here in Liverpool :( never seen anything like it even back home in Scotland.I hadn't really given it a lot of thought, but you are correct Apo, as the 26th is officially Christmas Sunday. I don't really care what day the 27th is, because for me it's 'Packing my case' Day
We'll be passing each other in the skies Englishman! Bet your looking forward to a bit of sunshine!
i hope all your flights havent been cancelled
i have learnt to do what my wife says!
I really hope mine does get cancelled. Would be a good excuse not to go back to work!i hope all your flights havent been cancelled
I hope not, my flights were cancelled in April when the Icelandic volcano erupted. Looks like the current band of snow isn't going to hit the midlandsi hope all your flights havent been cancelled
where are you flying from?, klm have cancelled all filghts from amsterdamn.
i have learnt to do what my wife says!
well i might have a few days up in yorkshire if the weather is good then after xmas might go to cornwall for a week, rather be in the phils but paying for 2 now so roll on next xmas thats when we will be going , i wish all whos flying a safe and pleasent trip and all a merry xmas too
I'm flying Cebu-Hong Kong-Heathrow-Barcelona, departing on the evening of 26th December!
KLM Brum to Amsterdam to Hong Kong, I'm not going for another 10 days, so I'm not too worried if they arent flying today
KL803 (Manila flight) made it out of Schipol yesterday 5 hours 40 minutes late at 19:40, today's KL803 was only half an hour late departing and two of the Liverpool-Schipol flights made it over one of them a couple of hours late the other just 50 minutes late but 2 other LPL-AMS flights were cancelled.
I hope for everyone's sake who is travelling over the next few weeks, the weather clears up a bit. I haven't looked at the longer range forcast, on the basis the the balance of probabilities means that I can't be unlucky enough to have 2 separate trips to Asia delayed/cancelled out of my last 3
