My first trip to the Philippines

[somebody]

With only 7 days to go the butterflies in the tummy are giving me a rollercoaster ride of their own (Or maybe that was the huuuuuuge chinese buffet lunch I had today with Tita Hara - arah)..

But today I think I made a wise choice and popped by the Natwest and handed over £700 and ordered travel money for the Philippines! I got it at 72.6836 PHP to the £ Not the greatest high street price ever, but the best I could find today. And it was handy I opened a new account with them 2 weeks ago.. Be even handier if I get the new debit card before Tuesday

But, with a loss of sterling I have 55,500 pesos and over a fiver change in the bank to buy me a burger on my return to the UK..

Didn't quite manage to save as much as I had planned, but it only has to last 16 days and then I get paid again. So, I should do fine

Here's to the next 148 hours till I board my flight

Your be fine the best things in life cost nothing. Better to get to know people than spend time spending money.

Yep, I certainly agree with Somebody. As they have said, the best things in life are free.

Few words of advice: Don't let them know that you have so much money with you as they (friends, family & others) will expect you to pay everything. Just be vigilant at all times.

Very true, I guess, it's colonial mentality thing. When Filipinos see white people they assume that they are all rich. Sad though.
