A good post Gavanddal thats the reason why i put i would in an ideal world love to travel between the two.
When i speak to Realtives in the Philipines they love to hear where we have traveled and the freedom we have to do it.
No way could i be stuck just in the UK or Phill, although im sure quite a few people would have no problem with staying in just one or the other. Many people i know in the UK have the money to travel but choose not to, I can think off the top of my head at least 5 people i know, who have in the last ten years or more never gone abroad and no plans too.
My parents, many of my older realtives and people nearing retirment at work are always going on the last big holiday abroad before they settle down. Yet they is always another one..
The wifes in the last two and a bit years has been to france once,italy three times, and the philipines twice and is planing to go to new york later this year. Every time we watch a travel programe theres a few more addtions to add to the list.
So i guess the Wife and I would rather work long to experience all this while others who have already been where they need to or contented as they are could make the big decision to possibly restrict there travel options to ensure a good life in Phill.
