Where’s the airport? 
In 2004 we had a trip to Cebu to see the family, above I am descending over the Philippines to Cebu ready to see Mama. I bought her a necklace and ear-rings on the plane and as you can see these were well received.
Mama, looking and feeling good
It may be small but there’s. . .
. . . still room for Alice!
Around you can see the family surrounding me as once again we were together. What a pleasure that is. And on the right you see me clutching a drink while watching Mama cooking fish in the alley alongside the house. 
Although this is the start of the section, it was not in fact the start of the holiday. Alice and Alistair flew a week before me, I joined them for a week, and then flew back to work a week before they returned. I can’t say that I was happy to be apart but it is naturally important to let the A’s see relations as often as possible. So I will turn to rather more chronological pictures on the next page.
Mama working, me imbibing
