Thanks for the great vacation. For me, here are the highlights of the

trip:

1. Road trip with friends - priceless

2. Having A-man as my co-pilot

3. Good deals on footwear in Great Falls, Montana

4. Eating at McDonalds in almost every state we passed (except Arizona)

5. Luxor hotel in Vegas (especially swimming with our kids, special mention Jak-jak and Raphy)

6. Pharoah's feast buffet, Luxor Hotel, yummmm, prim rib!

7. Tangier (is that right?) Outlets outside Vegas

8. Disneyland ( my second time but for me, you never outgrow it. I'd go back there if I had the chance)

9. Ate Olga's pad (gave us a chance to live together Big Brother style, sorry for the broken electric fan)

10. Universal Studios (I know I've been there before but its still new to me, I'd go back again one day!)

11. Bahay Kubo's cheap but tasty meals

12. Celebrating Ching's and Inna's birthday at Pinoy Pinay

13. Chowking!

14. Red Ribbon!

15. Tito's Tacos! Yumm!

16. Santa Monica Beach (except the sight of Art being topless!)

17. Minute Maid Fruit Punch (thanks A-man!)

18. Fritos Twists Honey Barbeque

19. $1 McChicken sandwiches at McDo Great Falls (even their double cheeseburgers went for $1)

20. GTG's exceptional convoy through the deadly LA traffic, especially the blocking techniques we used

The kids had so much fun! Geve and Yan even made a snack for us when we got home and they wrote thank you letters to us for the trip. Evelyn and I got even closer during the trip. I can truly say this trip ranks among the top vacations I have ever had! I can truly say the places we went to made things exciting but it was the company of friends that made it awesome!
