ADDY’S WORLD: Guess who’s taken over the blog? You guessed it! The kids! Amy and Nick are too lazy so me and Jake have saved the day! Anyway, let’s get to business. We have left AMAZING Vietnam and are now in the Philippines. This is how we got here: We took a plane from Hanoi to Manila and had about an hour till our flight. We got through security and went to find our gate. When we found it, dad (Nick) stayed with ALL the bags and me, Jake and mom (Amy) went to find some food because we were all STARVED! We found a ramen place and mom got a beef ramen (for me) and some kind of teriyaki chicken for Jake. About 5 seconds after mom ordered, dad came running with ALL the bags and told us that we had been at the wrong gate and that we were boarding! We all started running except mom cause she still needed to get the food and thankfully we didn’t miss our flight.The food was actually pretty good. When we got to Cebu City, we took a taxi from the airport to our place. We stayed there for one night and the next morning we had to wake up early to get on a 5 hour ferry to Siquijor where the Leas were. We got to our place which was REALLY far from the town, REALLY hot and REALLY far from the Leas place. After the first night we decided to change hotels. After we got to our new place we chilled and then saw Pop, Dex, Jaz, Beth and Andy (the Leas). The next few days with them were SO fun! We rented mopeds (me and mom were the grannys ?), went to AMAZING waterfalls (Jake and Dex loved the SUPER high swings!) and just had plain fun!! One day I even went to a local school! I did the prayer, did a math test, made new friends, became part of the Girl Scouts and sang in front of the whole class! It was an experience I will NEVER forget! Jake didn’t go, but he got to practice Billiards all day. That’s his FAV game! On April Fools day, we had a HUGE party with surprisingly good takeout pizza, lots of laughs and gymnastics. It was REALLY sad leaving the Leas, but they’re coming to visit us in Canada and we’ll visit them in England. Now we’re in southern Cebu. Anyway we will now switch to Jake.
Addy out.

I really love the Kid Blog Takeover! It’s great to learn about these travel adventures and food events from ground level sources! The real inside scoop!
Nice to know that you have made some lifelong friends. Fellow adventure-rs. I look forward to meeting them some day.
And I love those pictures. It’s like you’ve given me a free trip around the world. Thank you. Good for you!
I would like to add that the travel stories from Mom and Dad have also been lovely. Since the younger generation has given you a well deserved, I hope you soon take up the pen again! And, a picture is worth a lot of words.
From Uncle John (am I a Snekoflob? That is a very intriguing word!)
Pool and surfing. You will be ruined for life
