Chicken Adobo in Paradise: Part 1


When I think about what I want to share in regards to the trip to the Philippines, I pause and take a breath.  I must preface this entry by stating that this venture was quite literally the best vacation that I have ever taken in my life.  I think that I can vouch for Neil that he feels the same way.

Manila

Two words come to mind when I reminisce about our short time in Manila, Thank you.
Ready for some warm weather, my wish was granted as soon as we landed in Manila.  All I could think was, Good bye gloves, hello flip flops. Right as we exited the airport Uncle Noel was waiting for us. This was quite a change from Neil and I having to grab a taxi or hope that we could find the correct bus to get to a destination (usually in a language we do not know).  Relief set in and I knew that this was without a doubt a family trip.

After picking up Jason from his terminal, we were off to a lunch that I dont think Neil will ever forget (Shakeys Pizza). All I can say is that the Philippines sure can do western food right. After an excellent tour of Manila and history given by Uncle Noel and a visit with Auntie Ceres, we ensued in a night of great times with some great cousins.
