In 2 weeks time we will be travelling to the Philippines for a 3 week family holiday.
This will be the first visit that we will not have run around different places having to apply for passports, visas, etc.
The only planned event is the wedding of my sister-in-law followed by the baptism of her son, for which they have asked me to be godparent.
Sounds great rusty
Hope all goes smooth and a wonderful time enjoyed by all
Bon Voyage
we have no plans to visit the phils till next year maybe july or xmas but who know what may happen until then, have a great holiday
Have a great trip and enjoy the relaxation this time.
Nice! What places will you visit?
Thanks for all the good wishes
We will spend a couple of nights in Manila before we fly to Dipolog, where will be staying in Dapitan.Originally Posted by deeen
Thanks joe, we have now put in the request for leave from school for my step-son and it was approved ok.
Thanks joe, we have now put in the request for leave from school for my step-son and it was approved ok.
but my older daughter the secondary school refused it, they sent a letter saying they wouldn't approve it, but too late we had already gone, there was a threat of a fine in the letter, but nothing happened
again have a great time with your family Rusty you deserve it
When we went for 3 years I think it was a different form.
Anyway, they fitted straight back in to the same schools when we returned .
Benefited their educational achievement if anything.
The first friend I met from the Philippines was from Dipolog, sounds very relaxing, have fun!
i was thinking of telling the schools that they might not come back, i told them little joe had never seen any of his cousins, uncles etc, and our 12yr old had not seen them or been to the phils since she was 4yrs old.When we went for 3 years I think it was a different form.

i didn't give awhat the schools thought or did.
Well, my stepson was 9 when he arrived at his first school in England and my stepdaughter was 7.
Both spoke very little English.
The boy finished with 3 A levels and the girl with 5 (+12 'O's).
Filipinos are very bright and adaptable people.

He is only missing the last week of school, one day would have been sports day and the last day he would not have been at school anyway, they have a teacher training day or whatever excuse they call it to have an extra day off
yes rusty, they said how important her education is for her and not to miss misses 12 days of school and spend it with the family shes not seen for more than 7yrs
teacher training days i think she had 4 of them or more, why not in holiday time, the kids are off 13wks of the year
Pa! They do *** all the last week anyway, and as for those 'teacher training days'.He is only missing the last week of school, one day would have been sports day and the last day he would not have been at school anyway, they have a teacher training day or whatever excuse they call it to have an extra day off
If the damned governments would stop the constant meddling and let the teachers get on with the job.
We are here now in Manila drinking a cold SMB on the rooftop bar of our hotel.
We went with KLM and china southern and the flights were good with only a short delay on our flight into manila.
