First Some Great News From The Philippines,

Diana and her family are going away for the weekend,

 so into the mini bus,

 for the trip to the airport,

 this was a first for Dad and some other members of the family, flying,

 of course Sandio is an old hand at flying,

 and they have arrived on the island of Boracay,

 a very happy Mum,

 they are staying at the Astoria Current, on Station 3 beach,

 and it looks pretty impressive,

 drinks all round,

 Lynn, Dad, Marvin and Diana, 

 and baby Naomi, 

 Diana and Lynn by the pool, 

 it was a bit of a surprise for every one to find they had a beach-side hotel,

 one of the rooms,

 Mum looking down at the indoor pool, 

 it all looks very nice, 

and of course we had to have a selfie from Diana! there is a slight snag the Internet is not that quick, so I have not chatted to Diana today, so I am guessing but I think they will have a nice weekend on the beach!
