I wish I could do the traveling again too...
maybe in february we could have a vacation there again.
Try BORACAY if you're going to the Philippines, its really very nice there.
I think I'm going there, believe it or not. My dad is going to have a reunion with his junior high classmates. My parents were born and raised in Baras...actually, my dad moved here when he was a teenager (around the bay area, like you!), and went to college at UC Berkeley.
I went to the Phillippines when I was 5, but I haven't been back since. I would love to see Baguio, too...
Wooohooo! 500th post! Thanks for pointing it out, Sarsi!
