Title: Trip Report to Follow Post by: tpdtom on March 08, 2003, 05:00:00 AM Hi Everyone....I just came back from 2 fabulous weeks in the Philippines , my first trip but not my last . I traveled alone but was never lonely due to the wonderful hospitality of the Filipinas I met everywhere I went . After experiencing that level of warmth and unselfish consideration I wonder if words can do it justice , certainly not mine . Guys , if anyone here is hesitating to take the plunge and go for the first time , just do it . If your worried about security in any way , just as information , I felt generally safer than i would in the streets of Detroit , not a great endorsement maybe , but at least the same survival skills and street smarts served me well .
I want to publicly thank May_10 for her extreme generosity and hospitality , a former frequent contributor to this board , now engaged to an American guy from Denver . Barry , if you see this , your a lucky man for sure . And last but maybe first , the elusive Mica , who reads this board faithfully every day but doesn't post . She unselfishly , along with May , drove me everywhere I needed to go while in Manila . She has proven to be a true friend and maybe we can convince her to come out of the woodwork when we post our pics on Jeffs Asian Sweetie Site . She is a perfect representation of a true Filipina ! That's all for now , I'm too tired after the trip to begin to tell the story . I don't know if I ever can , but I'll try later when I'm rested ...Tom Title: Re: Trip Report to Follow Post by: Matthew on March 08, 2003, 05:00:00 AM Title: Re: Re: Trip Report to Follow Post by: tpdtom on March 09, 2003, 05:00:00 AM ... in response to Re: Trip Report to Follow, posted by Matthew on Mar 8, 2003

Hi Tom! It sounds like you caught "the bug" (LOL). That's great! I'm looking forward to your trip report. How is May doing? We haven't heard from her for quite a while now. For Mica: Hi and welcome to Planet Love! Please do come out of lurk mode and say something. We could definitely use the wisdom and experience of a "perfect representation of a true Filipina" :-) Ray |
