thanks all, to tell the truth Andy i would have loved to go to the phils, but i was torn about going so far for a holiday and i thought it would be wrong to enjoy myself there while there are thousands suffering, just my way of thinking about it,
I still need a holiday, Ems sister is there and Ems has not seen her for over 6 years , as long as i can do some of the things that i would like to then all will be happy i am sure
