The past few weeks have been a whirlwind of excitement, from the two-week vacation in the Philippines, to the Las Vegas trip and everything in between. While waiting for pool night, I get a time for myself.
Since May, weekends have been held hostage by a barrage of "must attend" and "need to be there" events. The great San Francisco trip kicked off the series of fun and tiring weekends. Thanks to Arman and Alnie for being such gracious hosts. Really enjoyed the 8 mile bike across the bridge, I'll do it in a heart beat!
The following weekend saw a 10 hour drive to Ohio for Mare's cousin's wedding. It was a fun experience. I was able to attend a Byzantine Catholic Church service (which I found out later that I can't receive communion however, due to affiliation with the Shevatz (Mare's mom side), I was ok'ed). The drive was long but a fun one.
Since I made plans to go to Manila, I had to squeeze in the hike that I wanted to go to the following week. Mare and I went to the Katerskills Mountain for a day trip hike that included an exploration of the Howe Caverns. It was a nice relaxing activity, not to strenuous. And for the price that we paid for, it was a steal.
Two weeks in the Philippines... from Tagatay to Iloilo to Cebu back to Iloilo then to Davao then a day in Manila before coming back to crazy NY. It was fun being with family. The resorts were beautiful, the food was amazing but the best part of the trip was when we get stuck in traffic be stuck in a van with each other. Oh and before I forget, the fun time we had in the middle of typhoon Frank... 4 big adults, stuck in a small cramped hotel room with two twin beds. Do the math.
And of course, since the Philippine trip was something that I didn't plan in advance, I was not able to space out the next trip. The Las Vegas trip was scheduled back in March so there was no turning back. After 6 days back in NY, I found myself flying to another time zone this time with the Duca Siblings and Basil.
The 5 of us (Me, Mare, Angel, Petey and Basil [Ang's BF]) piled in a mini van and headed to our adventure. First stop was the Gallego household. It was the most relaxing pit stop ever. Tita Langging, Tito Pabby and Rock were very gracious hosts. Thanks for the room, the food and the guided tour! The Las Vegas Trip and Phil June 2008 trip deserves another entry.
Now that I am able to bring this all out, entries for the other events should be able to make it online soon.
