Goodbye cold weather

We leave tomorrow morning for the Philippines! I am so excited but I am sad cause that means 11 days away from my little munchkins. Mariah is ok with grandma and grandpa watching her, Brock is too little to know what is happening, and Jazmin is having a really really hard time with it. She has cried to me just about every night telling me that she wants to go and that she never gets to go with us on trips. I'm hoping that she will be ok and when I come back that she doesn't give me attitude. I just want to stow them away in my suitcase with me. I have to admit that I'm a little scared because when I come home I fly solo. I have a really really long layover in Tokyo (well I think it's like 3 hrs) and I just have a fear that I will get lost in the airport. I don't know if anyone there speaks English or will understand where I need to go. I am just crossing fingers that it will be ok cause that's all that I can hope for right? I'm excited to be able to go over there and see a totally different culture and meet the people there. I'm pumped to be able to go snorkeling there and visit all the different resorts that they have and hopefully see the smallest monkey the Tarsier. I'm hoping that I will be able to posts pictures while I am there so that you can all see the beautiful things that the Philippines have to offer. Well better get going cause I still have lots to do and so little time.
