Good bye Philippines :(
We had breakfast by the pool with Jerry and Steve before the taxi came to take us to the airport. It was a wonderful vacation full of laughs and relaxing times. Hanging out with older people is pretty cool, a lot less drama, but at the same time they are trying to rekindle their youth. These guys were from two different continents but were quite similar in some of the things they did and said. In the end, I learned a lot from both of them and would sign up for that “hidden camera” show again…hahahahhaha!
Top 10 moments in the Philippines
10. Arriving to the resort and seeing how beautiful the place was. It sure beat the place down the street with outdoor bathrooms that the taxi tried to take us to.
9. Sitting in the Jacuzzi talking about Margie and Lin Lin with Jerry and Dustin, and right behind us was Margie and Lin Lin waiting. Jerry “keep Lin Lin’s “butt” at home”! I also enjoyed listening to the owner of the resort “foolishly” stereotyping Filipinos. I know he has problems with some of the things that they do at work, but if you paid more than $5 a day, I bet some of those problems would quickly disappear.
8. The taxi driver wanting a White or Black president because the politicians are so corrupt in the Philippines. He used Hong Kong’s status in the world as an example.
7. Going to the water fall in a rented taxi. Where else but Asia can you rent someone’s taxi for the entire day? We tipped him quite well. He said “too much” and began shaking.
6. Shopping with Dustin and Jerry at the Ayala Mall in Cebu. Jerry took a picture of every female walking by. He puts the “creep” in Creepy Old Man (say cheese Jerry).
5. Going to Marco Polo restaurant the first night in Cebu. This buffet was one of the best buffets that I’ve ever had. There were tons of options to choose from.
4. Going to the beach for the day and just hanging out. The fresh seafood out of the tank was a definite plus. I love seafood!!
3. Island hopping and swimming in the beautiful clear waters of the Philippines. The food was great, the drinks were cold, and the company was amazing. I’ll do that again!!
2. Meeting Tanya, Jerry, and Steve in the Philippines. We all had a blast together. It felt like we had been friends forever.
1. Just waking up and going down to the pool for breakfast and staying there until night time for a night time swim. The Alta Cebu Resort was paradise in a box! I describe it this way because the surrounding areas were quite trashy and this place was just immaculate!
So long Spring Break 2010! I enjoyed every moment of it.
Until next time...be good to yourself and each other!!!
