The first time I went i only had 10 nights and that was 5 years ago, since then i've been 12 other times and usually take just under a month. The last 2 visits have been with my wife who is now in the UK. I did enjoy it when she was there as i could have 3 trips a year. Now its maybe only 1. Plus its double travelling expenses. I got bored of sitting with her family and wasting a trip, even though in Samar where shes from there was good fishing and snorkling. We are going back in march and while she visits her mother I am going with a freind to Angeles for a few nights then i will meet her in Borocay. Very expensive now days 1300 quid just to get to Manila.
