Canary Islands Holidays

Cebu has been my home for four years now. In a few days it will have been four years since I set foot in Cebu Philippines. I didn’t know what the future would hold but I came with an open but skeptical mind. After four years, I am comfortable living in the Philippines It shine from being new has long ago diminished but I am still happy to live in the Philippines.

I’ve increased my opportunities in live by relocating to the Philippines. Two reasons explain most of this. My cost of living is a lot less here than it was back in the USA. The second is at 49 when I first arrived, my dating choices where limited in the USA. I was 49 years old, not in the best health and my good looks long ago got up and left. Also, in the USA I barely have enough cash to survive. Having enough money to take a woman out would be difficult.

I certainly do not consider myself rich even in the Philippines. I’m able to travel more because my cost of living in the Philippines is less than living in the USA. I should mention that the cost of travel in the Philippines is much lower than I experienced back in the States. A hotel usually cost me less than $30 a night. The last time I flew to another location in the Philippines the price of my round-trip ticket was about $75.00. Sometimes you can get them for even less as Cebu Pacific often offers tickets for as little as $1.00 and sometimes they were even free! You still had to pay taxes and surcharges though.

I have a pretty Filipina as my girlfriend. When I put boots on the ground she was 29 years old and we are still together. I feel a little guilty about how well she treats me. Tomorrow she’ll be taking a six hour bus trip to get medication for me in Cebu City. It is not unusual when she puts my needs ahead of her own. I have to be careful not to take advantage of her. My chance of finding a romantic interest in the USA equal to this are null.

My favorite place in Cebu is Bantayan Island. In fact, it is my favorite place in the world. It is only about 2 hours from my home. When I get there, I find crystal clear water with white sand powered beaches. The best part of this there is usually almost no tourist there. However, during Holy Week that changes and you will find the beaches and resorts crowded

A close second is Palawan. I visited there last year with my girl and went to the Underground River. It is the longest river under the ground in the world. It has become on the Seven Wonders of The World. While in Palawan, I also went to Estrella Falls for a picnic. While eating, instead of squirrels playing in the trees, we had monkeys trying to steal our food. They were fun to watch, I tried to offer them some food from my hand but they showed me a mouth full of teeth. I rescued a monkey and have her at my home. She would have loved my offering.
