Woodstoves aren't the only way to stay warm in winter. Heres another

Water is the best part,crystal clear wether its 10 ft of 60 ft deep. No industry of factories or pollution for many miles around. AIr is clean tonly shark i ever saw was a huge whale shark(harmless)right off a coral reef. Notice how crowded that beach is.

I didnt catch that but it may be dial up. I didnt stay at this particular place yet but i did stay at quite a few like it. WIfe is good for a week or two until she gets mall withdrawl. Her cousin has a really nice 2 story beach house on a larger island and were welcome to stay there whenever we want.

You have to wait your turn Begreen has first dibs

My daughter on one of those beaches with the sun in her eyes. Notice how crowded the beach is!

The local fisherman provide all the seafood at bargain prices and local people also provide pork and chicken fresh.The exchange rate is 40 -1 So $100 US is 4000 their money. A whole pig roasted over charcoal is about $50-60 US
Beer is plentiful and reasonable priced.Mostly san-miguel,carlsburg and US brands as well. A fifth of rum is about 65c. US. 5 year whisky about 95c.

O Rand you made me hungry ! That looks like a piece of heaven it must be fun for a child to run and play in the sand too! There will be many happy memories for your daughter later in life.

Looks nice but its the Phillipinnes almost a 24 hr flight probably 1800 per person just to get there.

Most i ever paid was $1250 but if you stay a few months its worth it.Last Time i took the family (2010) it was $6000 just for the airfare for the 5 of us.

For the luxury minded heres a pic of our room on one of our trips. Theres ws also an attached conference room as this was the presidential suite.
A luxury bath with 2 phones. About 1500 SF in all ,about the size of a typical US ranch style home. Nice digs for a beach resort,all for about $69 a night about the same as motel 6 back in the states
