Family visit to Cebu with kids ... more worried this time.

Thanks for your replies,.... think I might be over-reacting to what I hear goes on nowadays...
I'm sure the family would love to see us all in person rather than on Skype,.... I remember when my wife first came to live in Scotland,..we were so busy organising our new home that we never went back again for 3 years,... we went over secretly, never told anyone we were coming,...my wife even phone her mum from the city when we arrived to ask what the weather was like today !. Her mum or family had no idea what so ever that we were only 3 hours away and were coming down by taxi.
I remember it well,.. I still have the video,... we got out the taxi, asked the guy to go have some dinner at the sari-sari while my wife walked up through the trees with me following behind filming her every step. We had to ask the neighbours not to scream when they saw us because we wanted to surprise her mum and sisters who were just lazing around between the trees on hammocks. Once the sister spotted my wife all hell broke loose,..there were screams(Filipina screams) and so many tears and hugs,...I dont know what I was filming as I just couldn't see through my tears as I realised the love of her family to thier returning sibling..
That was some re-union,.... what a great welcome,... I think I can now look forward to part 2 !! hehe.

I thought about doing that a few times years ago

I don't know what you're waiting for, time you went
