    Is it just me but how come your son is growing and changing each time we see his picture, but your wife stays as beautiful and does not seem to change at all.

    Some of the pictures didn't load, so I'll try again....

    .
    Top picture is part of Burnham Park in Baguio City... hire a pedal car thing.
    There were lots of other entertainments, etc. Good place.

    Further down are another day out with family members, to our local beach, about 5 miles away.

    Your son looks great I wish I had the energy for another child that sign says No Massage?



    Sometimes you're flush and sometimes you're bust, and when you're up, it's never as good as it seems, and when you're down, you never think you'll be up again. But life goes on.
    The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman is seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides. True beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It's the passion that she shows to the outside world.

    Yes, the sign says 'No Massage', which I thought was pretty funny for a sign in a park.

    Hi Leo.

    Arriving at Clark apparently can involve negotiating a whole bunch of rip-off taxi touts... all looking for p500 upwards to get you out of the airport. (So far I've only departed from there).

    There is a proper 'official' aircon jeepney, which runs to and from Dau bus terminal... which is perhaps where you would need to go ? Cost is p100. It is white in colour. I used that.

    There are also supposed to be taxis with working METERS now too ! Good luck finding one of those.

    Anyway, take your time when you come out of arrivals, and look around for alternative forms and prices of transport. Don't be bullied by the taxi mafia.

    Official taxis with meters are located out of your line of sight. Come out of arrivals and turn left and you'll see them on the other side of the road

    You're welcome Leo.

    I'll probably be using that same flight next trip.

    £502 at the moment (Emirates website) October/November.

    Decision time very soon.
