MONTHLY CHALLENGE
I’m Off to The Philippines for My Youngest Son’s Wedding
Yes, it’s confirmed

He told me months ago he would pay for me to come to the Philippines to see him and his lovely wife be married and meet all of her family — and there are quite a few of them!
On Christmas Day he booked my flights! I was very impressed. I’m flying with Philippine Airlines and it’s a direct flight from Brisbane to Manila. On June 6 at 10.40 am, I’ll be flying from Brisbane International Airport!

Rowan is usually too busy working to have long chats with me but he always keeps in touch even if I don’t always approve of the countries he visits. He’s a tour operator and as you can imagine, Covid really messed with his business. Maria makes up for him by texting me almost every day especially when I was recovering from knee surgery. She’s lovely.

They may be of different nationalities but they have one common love — TRAVEL! Maria is just as adventurous as Rowan as you can see from some of the photos. She doesn’t get to go with him on all of his tours but she’s always as the airport to welcome him home.
