This post has been a long time coming! I got back to Cebu City early in September and while it took me at least 3 weeks to recover from my "round the world" vacation, there's no excuse for not posting sooner than this!
After being in the UK, Canada and the US, it was good to be back but I also found I had a slightly different attitude about the Philippines. When I first arrived here in June, I found most everything either interesting or charming, but now after the month away, it's a little more complicated. But I've also had the chance to see some of the better parts of the Philippines.
This really is a tropical paradise -- imagine Hawaii or Mexico but with much better service! John and I have gone to two resorts since he got here 3 weeks ago and while we are now resort snobs, we can honestly say that Philippine resorts are very good! This is the resort we were at 2 weeks ago.
And here's the one we were at this weekend. They truly are lovely places to relax in and I'd highly recommend them to anyone. Much better than cruises because there is more space and fewer people, it's always warm, and the service is great, all the time.
One more picture of the bird of paradise flowers. I just can't get over how plentiful they are here.
