November 2006: Sofia and I had the opportunity to visit the Philippines. It was Sofia's first trip overseas and my first trip in 8 years to visit family. After over-worrying about(surprise, surprise), Sofia did quite well over there. I guess I kept thinking that with the 13.5 hour flight to Japan; followed by a 5 hour flight to Manila, that she would be a wreck. Especially after arriving there late at night with a 11 hour time difference. Well, she proved me wrong. She was a trooper especially if you factor in that she doesn't have things like Melatonin and Caffeine to keep her functioning! Here are a few pictures of her enjoying Business Class. We were in the upstairs cabin on a 747 and Sofia loved the goody bag that each passenger got. She insisted on trying everything out herself. I don't blame her!
Delamerced & Montemayor Families:
We visitied both Families while we were out there. I think Sofia was a bit overwhelmed with all the people! Click on the image if you want to see it larger!
We spent most of our time in the city shopping and going to spas, but we did spend a fair amount of time on different excursions such as Villa Escadero, Tagaytay, and Bohol.
