Welcome to the site Glenn! I was in Singapore in 1980 while onboard the USS Eisenhower (CVN-69) Beautiful city! I have many fond memories from there.
Glenn I will be in Cebu and Manila next month. My wife comes from Cebu and her and I will be travelling to Manila around 22tnd May for 5 days. Making a special trip to Corrigidore and sights around the old City of Manila. Also will be in Singapore from June 1st to 6th. Love going to the Philippines and Singapore
hey emac...
wow cebu...i've got friends from there as well...
hhhmmm...seafood...seafood...seafood!!!
corregidor would be quite an experience...do take pictures...last time i went there was when i was still in highschool back in the 80s...the malinta tunnel...the different forts and artillery batteries around corregidor...
the old manila, walled city or intramuros has changed quite a bit...though the walls and gallows are still there...rumors has it that this fortress is still inhabited by the countless souls lost during it's history of revolutions and wars...
may is just perfect, though a bit hot in the philippines, loose cotton clothing, a good hat, shades and sun block is a must, oh and lots of bottled water too...a lot of fiestas happening too all over the islands during this time...a nice escape from the winter huh...
i recently missed a trip to my dad's province near legazpi city last april, where you can swim with whale sharks in open water (locally called "butanding") during their seasonal visits to philippine waters...
now you got me homesick...
june in singapore should be just in time for "the great singapore sale"...
Dont forget to go to the US Military cemetary in Manila.
In the "Walls of the missing", there's lots of names of the Philipino Scouts.
