Our tickets to the Philippines now booked!!!

Finally, DH had booked the tickets last night so in about two weeks we are flying off to visit family and friends. We had waited for booking expecting that the prizes will go down a bit but there's not much really difference at all. Still around 4200euro's(5878U.S dollars), we have to go this summer and can't postponed because of the kids school and dh's work.
Oh my, now that it's booked and just over two weeks i really need to do lots, like packing or things really needed especially for the kids and arrange some things around here too, for watering the garden and Grace weekly newspaper round.
DH will come home the 6th of July and we are flying the 9th. We are flying with Singapore Airlines this time, previously were ussually with Cathay Pacific.

Hi Mylene
This is the third time I have visited and tried to leave a comment. Sometimes your blog doesn't download properly and the comment box doesn't appear. Today I was lucky, I don't know what happens with my computer sometimes, it's so slow.
Great news about your trip to the Philippines. You all must be so excited. I am sure your family over there will be very excited too. Have a wonderful time.
Great stitching too.

Mylene, have a WONDERFUL trip home to visit family & friends. Isn't it amazing we live in a time where one can travel 1/2 way around the world in just a day or less! Takes lots of little projects to work on with you and share when you return. Safe journeys, my friend.
