Ackhhh well, you only live once !! lol.... I booked our flight a few weeks back now and the date is fast approaching to fly out to Phils with the family.
My wife is getting all excited now and we are deviously planning how to surprise her mum and sisters this time round. No-one knows of our trip yet, not even our friends here in Scotland,..only one close friend in Cebu knows we are coming so she can set up the surprise for us (and give us a lift down to the village).
Actually it will be a double surprise as this friend of ours doesn't know that her husband, who has been working abroad for 2 years, will be stepping off the plane with us at the same time and she has absolutely no idea he is coming home!!
We will be staying in the city hotels for the first few days to get a good sleep and get a feel for the place again before heading way down south to stay at our house.
I'm very gratefull for the input from the members here for advice and assurances but I will still keep in mind things will be a little different this time with our kids being a bit older.
I sure will give you a step by step account of what we have in mind to lure our un-suspecting family once we come back home,...
In meantime I have only a small amount of time to bring in the farm harvest before I go which wont be easy with this damned weather we been having lately !

Cheers,

Jonny
