Philippines (Part 1)

We're leaving the Philippines and making our way back to the US tonight. The travel time including lay-overs will be about 24 hours (woohoo!) but because of the time difference, we will leave 12:30am Thursday morning and land in DC at about noon Thursday afternoon. I'll post again once I upload pictures and have more time to write, but for now listing will have to do.

Things I am looking forward to coming back to:

• cooler, less humid weather
• air conditioning
• running / working out
• baseball and all the rest of US sports
  
• salads
• not having to put on bug spray every time we leave the house
  

Things I will miss here:

• Lolo ("grandpa")
• All the fam and cousins
• the vacation style (going back to work the day after I return will not be fun)
• home-cooked meals every meal
  
• the pastries, fresh fruit, and food in general
  
• the much cheaper cost of everything here
• the in-home mani/pedi's and massages
• the ability to walk everywhere
• the small-town lifestyle

siiigh, back to the real world soon...
