We had the best time in the Philippines. It was crazy being in such a foreign place. It felt like 100% humidity and everything was so different. The people were amazing, they totally love Americans, (especially those that can speak their language.) We were a good foot taller and all the girls would blush when Cody would talk to them. We felt like celebrities and were treated like Royalty.
We started off in Manila (the capital) and hit up the shopping, visited Cody's old mission areas, met up with some of his old baptisms and companions, and ate at some weird places. We then caught another flight to the southern most island and stayed at the Pearl Farm Beach Resort. We had our own secluded island all to ourselves and our villa was actually on the water - it was like out of a movie. There we enjoyed the amazing scenery, the best tropical fruits I've ever tasted, deep sea fishing, and just relaxing poolside and beachside. One of the mornings Cody and John went scuba diving while Melyna and I got pampered at the spa. We had a dinner on the beach on our last night while being serenaded.
We could't have asked for more amazing friends to share this all with Johnny and Melyna made the trip so fun. Its hard to sum up a trip like this, but it was for sure a vacation of a lifetime. We appreciate Cody's peeps for watching Gage while we were away, we missed the little guy, but knew he was in good hands. We can't wait for the next opportunity to go back. We loved it.
(the pictures are a little out of order, but I hope you get the idea of what an amazing place the Philippines are.)
