In less than five days, our whole family will be off to a 60-day Island Travel Adventure--a road trip to see the whole Philippines!

Therefore, to put things in order, I would just like to point out that most of our blogging and updates during this 60-day period will be posted in our travel blog-- Island Travel. However, you can see/follow our latest tweets in the box labeled "Island Travel Tweets" at the sidebar, together with the Island Travel contest banner that you can click on to bring you to our travel blog.

As much as we'd like to regularly update you here at Fatherhood Adventures, we have to be more realistic in our commitments. So please bear with us. And instead, let's just enjoy the Island Travel Adventure together. Some of these limited blogging time/efforts during this summer break will also go to our other blogs, namely: Parenting Journey, Daily Happiness Tips, Daily Laughs and Happy Quotes Happy Images. Mama Sez and Papa Sez on Hubpages would also slow down a bit.

Here's to FUN in the SUN this summer...CHEERS!

The semester had just ended with the school’s Foundation Day show.  I’ve started thinking about what the kids can do during the break as early as last month.  Careful planning is needed as budget is tight, and we’ve also been itching to go on a road trip (once the baby is easier to handle). 

Pressure built on me as classes was increasingly devoted to rehearsals for the show.  Nothing concrete happened until the last day when we saw parents of other kids and invites for parties started turning out.

So it won’t be boring after all.  Here’s the list so far:

1. The semestral breakers hit off with two birthday parties in separate days but coincidentally in the same restaurant of a global fast food chain.
2. A sleepover for my eldest together with her small group of friends.
3. Halloween trick-or-treating for everyone.  It will be our kids’ first to actually roam about house to house, as we were contented with preparing candies and handing out treats to neighborhood kids in the past.  So with an old dress and crown for our eldest, a hand-me-down superhero costume for our toddler, and a cheap mask, paraphernalia and costume used in the show for our son, my wife and I came up with an activity that our kids could look forward to in the next few days.
4. A get-together with some friends and their kids that we’ve been putting off is finally going to happen on Sunday.  It’s also an opportunity to try a barbecue recipe my wife got from an online friend across the globe.
5. A family gathering to celebrate my brother’s birthday and a visit to my mom’s grave are scheduled for tomorrow.

So what I feared to be a long and expensive semester break might not be too bad after all.  I still have a few more days to fill before school is back again, so some more ideas not involving travel and a lot of spending would be greatly appreciated.  Would you be so kind to let me know?
