Turns out I won't be going to the Philippines after all.
Family health issues have postponed the trip indefinitely. I'm incredibly sad. Being the eternal optimist that I am, I'm trying to turn this into a positive.
I'm contemplating a trip to Thailand on my own. It wouldn't be totally alone, since I have family in Bangkok. However, I'm thinking about making a swing through the other Southeast Asian countries, like Cambodia or Malaysia.
I've been feeling the travel bug lately. I've saved up so vacation time. It's time to get away.
This friday, I'll be heading to San Antonio to follow my Bruins to the very end. Be it Saturday or Monday. This will be my first trip to Texas. Hopefully it will be one to remember. If UCLA loses on Saturday, I might forget what state I'm in by Sunday.

Coming Together
I've put in my request for time off at work. I've begun scraping my funds together. I've emailed my aunt my itinerary.
In a little over two months, I'll be on a plane to the Philippines, heading "home". Not my home, but the home of mom and dad, my aunts and uncles. A place where the last time I went, I was a chubby and very self-aware nine-year-old. When I was there, I caught the chicken pox and had to stay in a local hospital for two days. I'm hoping this time, I'll be relatively disease-free.
But in addition to going home, I'll be visiting Thailand for one week, and most likely with mom and brother in tow. I also have relatives in the area. I hear the food is great and the massages are cheap. Just the way I like it...
The months preceding a major trip can be maddening. Some days go by ever so slowly, and yet, time passes so quickly that when it's time to depart, you're in a mad rush to pack.
For now, I'll be scouring the web for tips and tricks on what to do when I'm in the PI and Thailand. But I'm pretty sure when I arrive, I'll just ride the Travel Wave wherever it takes me.
