It's become our mealtime discussion for a couple of weeks now.
We're still undecided where to go on our upcoming vacation on August. A lot of things has to be considered: budget, importance, time constraints, etc.
At the end of each of our conversation, my hubby and I are still undecided. LOL. It's tough when you only have a limited budget and a little time to spend. You want to maximize each and every opportunity. Until now, we still can't justify the Phuket vacation eventhough we really want to go there.
There are some things we have to do in Manila. EJ needs another shot (Booster) of vaccine. We need to finalize the papers for our Condo's turnover. EJ will turn 2 and we think it would be nice if we celebrate his birthday in Manila with our relatives and friends.
But if we go home, it wouldn't be a real "vacation". As usual we will be busy. We won't have time to ourselves. We'd be busy running to the bank, talking to our agent, planning the birthday, catching up with friends, etc. I am sure that by the end of two weeks, we'll be left wondering where did the time go?
Whereas if we go to Phuket (and Bangkok), I'm sure we'll have a grand time. EJ would be busy playing with the sand in the beach. We can sleep as late and wake up late as we like. Eric and I can drink as many red wine as we like (or not)...hehehe.
It's a toss up, really.
However, we have plan B. We can go all go to Thailand and then later on, EJ and I will go to Manila minus Eric. But this is a little difficult. I don't know how EJ will survive without Eric for a couple of weeks?
Tough choice. I guess we'll just take it one day at a time. Anyway, August is still four months away. We'd have plenty of time to think, hopefully.

You have several more weeks to decide. Hope you come up with the best choice.
Happy weekend!
Grab that phuket tour.
There will be always time to see manila.
But, sleep is a necessity.
And if you do often to relax ang loong sleep, you are a very wise man.
I say that, bec today, sunday, I sleep 4hours in the afternoon.
I become wise to choose it.
Hehehehe.
-ey Cas! how about going to Manila via Bangkok? if you have two weeks, spend 4-5 nights in BKK, besides phuket is just a plane away from the city (para kalang nagbyahe ng cebu from manila). Then the rest of the days sa pinas. Pwede ding vice versa, pinas muna and then from Pinas via BKK to KL para after ng napakabusy sa Manila na mga araw, pahinga naman sa Phuket...o divalah!?!? ;)
i'd go for plan b. hehehe. phuket is a beautiful place. i lived there for 3 years. so if you have some questions where to go what... pls let me know (that is, if you decide to go to phuket)
ooppss i gave you a wrong back address.
