May 18 -22

As soon as we arrived in the Philippines we were making plans for a trip to our favorite diving and snorkeling venue. Sean and Lauren arrived from Florida on Thursday, May 18 and we left on Friday for Puerto Galera. Maggie, Sean, and Lauren spent the next 4 days studying, testing, and practicing to receive their PADI Certification for SCUBA. Allison stayed in Manila, visiting with friends and studying for finals. Terry and Katie joined us for the weekend and we all enjoyed a Saturday evening sunset boat ride with good friends Michelle, Barry, Stevii, Davis, and Jaron Marshall and Diane, Joe, and Jasmine Goodings. The weekend was great fun for everyone. The weather was great and the snorkeling and diving were perfect!

The Marshall Family all had an introductory dive and Joe and Diane were able to go on dives together. Jas, Jaron and I hung out at the swimming pool. Great weekend!
