Can't Play Forever

I just got back from dropping Jen and Will off at the airport in Cebu.  They are heading back to Shanghai tonight.  They are on a red eye flight but we used miles to get it and we got Will his own seat so they should both be able to sleep well.  Tomorrow my crazy few days will start as I will head to Manila for a day and a half for some meetings and then I'll fly to Nagoya, Japan for about 20 hours for just a quick meeting.  Then it's off to Beijing to meet with USU's MBA students.  While in Beijing we'll also have a meeting with Ambassador Huntsman, yes he is still there until April, which should be interesting. 

This past week has been a lot of fun.  We took a lot of pictures but we didn't bring the cord to download them to the computer and post them so we'll have to get that done later.  Will was a hit at the resort.  Most of the other guests were Korean and Will just wanted to chat with most of them, particularly the women.  He would run up and hold their hands and try to talk to them.  Whenever anyone would walk past us he would call out "bye bye" and would continue this back and forth until the people were no longer in yelling range.  He thought it was so funny.  Last night there was an outdoor Filipino bbq that was really good and following that they had a cultural dance and music show which Will just loved.  He especially loved the drums.  He would bob his head back and forth and wave his arms and really get into the beat. 

Some of the best parts of this week were: the endless supply of fresh mangos at every meal and all of the mango juices, smoothies, and shakes that we had with every meal, the local food in general is really good - lots of chicken and pork and garlic rice.  We enjoyed the beach.  This morning we went to feed the fish and play in the water and there were so many fish, it was amazing.  During my ocean swim today I found Nemo, the little clown fish.  He went swimming by me just before I swam over the top of a school of fish that seemed like it had thousands of fish in it.

We really enjoyed going to the Cebu temple.  It opened this past summer so everything was new and very nice. It was much bigger than I expected it to be.  There was an old couple that was going through for the first time.  They must have been in their 80's, it was really cool to see.

Random:  one of the days we were at the beach Jen looked up and saw a girl that she went to high school with!  Turns out this girl lives here with her husband and they go to that beach all the time.  The other random thing was that her husband went to good ol' Murray High and graduated with my sister's class in 99'.  They called us at the hotel the next day and turns out he knows my sister.  Small world. 

Well, back to reality. 

Oh ya, for those who we haven't gotten a hold of yet - Jen is having a Girl!  June 24th.  Current plan is to have this baby in the US.
