Philippines Day 9

Day 9 Highlights:

JT Manukan Grille is another must see for me on Philippines trips now and I was able to get there with Ifore and family on Day 9. For the full review, please see last year's entry.


After lunch we headed to Craft Coffee a new place that brews their coffee fresh. 

Then I went to get a birthday cake for my mom @ Red Ribbon. My mom's birthday is next week, but my dad & I will be heading back first. Also, it's better to do her birthday with all of her family present.

We ended the day with a huge family dinner party at Elan Cafe. This is typically done the night before we leave, but we actually have an extra day this year.

Philippines Day 7

We got a lot done for our half day in Boracay, getting up early for breakfast @ Seabreeze Cafe and then spending the morning on the beach and pool. 


Traveling back to Manila wasn't so efficient though. We were making good time until we arrived. The flight was short... maybe 40 min. Once we were allowed to use electronic on board, I played one of my Arkham Asylum recordings... 38 min and didn't get through all of it. When we got to Manila, there was traffic at the gate and we just sat on the runway for about 20 min. Then the drive back was so packed that it took us 2 hours to get back to the hotel... 40 min flight + 2 hour drive!

At least we ended the day with Chicken Charlie!

Whitney

Whitney is the newest of Auntie Shirley's 9 dogs. She's a playful miniature dachshund that kept me busy as the rest of the aunts were dealing jade jewelry.
