Guys/Gals
I promise a full and complete trip report and replies to everyone's questions when I am on an internet connection that doesn't take longer to connect than it does for me to post 
Everything here is GREAT!!! Gerlie and I have been having a LOT of fun. She has taken to teasing me like she does the kids Little pinches and pokes in the ribs... She really has a wonderful sense of humor and it shows through a little more every day. Her family is big, but VERY close and they have been very accomodating to their Kano guest
I have had the pleasure of long conversations with her Aunt Lorna, younger brother Russell and her father... I have much to post when I get home and have a chance to collect my thoughts and go over my notes. Like Roy, I too am very intrerested to get the Filipino perspective on Americans and the United States. It is definitely a little different than we are sometimes lead to believe. I have learned SO much on this trip that it will take me quite a while to share all of the expiriences, but I think I have a LOT more to add for the newbies here than I hvae in the past. I understand it's one family's perspective, from one area, but the little things really do seem to add up!
Well... I will have nothing BUT time for you guys when I get back I'm going to lunch with my Mahal and her friend Eva 
Wait til I tell you guys about my personal driver and body guard, Frank HE has been a BLAST!
Yes Stephen, I have lot's of pictures 
One last thing, I have to agree with Humabdos... Although I don't know them as well as he does, I am quite taken with Roy and Celia. They have a very easy going nature and you can tell immediately the quality of people they are! I am looking forward to seeing them again
That's all for now...
Keep the Faith!
