In Cebu

We love it here. We haven't posted because we've been out all day and night having fun, going back home to the hotel late, and then waking up again, and internet is $20/day!

We're in Cebu right now @ the Marriott. We left Manila early Friday morning (hated to leave the Shangri-La in Makati...wish I could win the lotto to stay there the whole time). On our way now to downtown to Colon Street (oldest street in Asia) and the Lapu Lapu monument on Mactan island here. Last night, we had a great dinner with my mom's first cousin, Beboy Moreno, his wife Jenny and his daughters Jaycel and Janelle. We stayed with them in 97.

Tonight, we're heading back to Manila where we'll have broadband in our new hotel and not this horribly expensive by the hour internet here at Marriott that has prevented me from blogging.

More to come, soon, on malls in Manila, Intramuros, the Cebu southern towns and provinces, the Larsian barbecue market here in Cebu...

Sounds like you're having a wonderful time. How's the weather? Better than 1997? Has Cebu changed since then? Take plenty of pictures! Your grandma's face lit up when she heard that you were in Cebu and had dinner with your uncle and auntie. Eat plenty of mangos for me. Don't forget to eat mangosteen and rambutan when you head down south. Hopefully they're in season. Your were missed at the crab feed but your niece, Taytay took your place as the drama queen. She performed her interpretive dance for the guest. She is a cheap date.... only had bread and butter! She has graduated yet to the crab and shrimp (lol).... Continue to be safe and have fun!
