What an awesome time we had in the Philippines.  Weather was fantastic to go to the beach and hang out with my family and friends.  First time in the Boracay Islands and island hopped on a rented pump boat while we were there on Valentine week.  Had a massage by the beach everyday for $8 an hour.  Can't beat that price!  It was so relaxing. 

On the way back to LA, we spent 2 days in Hongkong. Took a short tour of the city and starved all 2 days because most of their food had flavor enhancers (MSG). I am super allergic to that stuff.  There were 7-11 stores on every block and so I lived on Tuna sandwiches, MacDonalds and KFC meals for the most part.  HAHA!  There were some Indian restaurants that did not have MSG in their food so that saved me a bit.
