Our trip to the Philippines this year felt so much faster and easier than last year! I think a big part was that we just weren't as scared as we were last year... plus the kids are a bit older and we have more tricks up our sleeves!

3 planes, 2 layovers, and 33 hours of travel... but it all felt worth it when we arrived and the kids started playing on the beach while the sun set and I spent some time with my mom and dad.

The kids are catching up on sleep now (it's 4 am) but I have insomnia... once we've all gotten a little rest, I'll post a followup on the gold terms and related stuff. Hope you guys are having a great weekend!
