When Was Your Last Vacation?

Mine was last year. My husband and I stayed in Siquijor and Dumaguete. In just one day, we'd already explored Siquijor and we still had two more days to spend. We went back to Dumaguete and spent the days eating. I really love Dumaguete. The food is diverse and even though it's a city, it's still ladback . A quick visit to Siliman University made me want to send my son there for college. I swear I was seriously considering it. It's an hour away by plane but that's far already. We'll be left at home while he's enjoying the island. I'll be really jealous. 

I read it somewhere that we Filipinos are the worst travelers. We consider the success of our vacation depending on how many tourist spots we'd seen to be proven by hundreds of photos. And then we go home more tired than before we left. I was guilty of this when I was still young. But after one child, I savored that vacation. Everyday we got to rest, just sit, eat, talk and just stare mindlessly anywhere. But truth be told, I missed my son. Next time, maybe we'll travel as a family.
