Alright so my fitness goals are still going well. I’m still trying to get a team together for my Spartan Race in May (as well as the Zombie Run I am doing in October). I plan on coming back from the Philippines very tan and having lost a little bit more weight.
Kayaking, hiking Taal volcano, snorkeling, paddle boarding and swimming are among the activities we have planned for our ten days there. Fish and veggies (and some rice – I’m not going to lie) are on the menu. I’m so excited for this trip although it is bitter sweet.
My dad passed away last year and his wish for his ashes was that we spread them in the Batangas Straits where he loved to scuba dive. He met my mother in the Philippines and he loved the ocean there. That is where we are going to take him and say goodbye one last time.
On the other hand of being sad to say goodbye, I know my dad would not want me to waste an adventure. He is the reason I love to travel and he’s the reason I’ve got the personality I’ve got. I’m going to see as much as I can while there and get a little bit of a grasp for the culture my mother came from. I’m glad I get to share this experience with her and my baby brother. And I’ll be sharing it with you guys as well as I go day by day on this journey.
So wish me luck in my flight … on the way home we’re stopping in Vegas for a couple of days so that’s exciting too. 🙂 I’ll keep you posted on my activities as well as celebrating my dad’s life.
Here’s to family. To love. To health.
