Hey all, Ronna and I are in the Philippines again.  We just got here a few hours ago after catching a red-eye.  We were met at the airport at 4am by her brother, sister, and the driver.  First thing we did is drive to Taal Lake on the Batangas side and check out Shercon Resort as a possible wedding venue.  On the way we stopped and ate Jollybee, the Philippines national fast food chain.  I had a sausage and egg pandesal sandwich.  I liked it except for the mayo, but now I know to ask for no mayo next time.  After eating we went to Shercon.  We liked what we saw at Shercon, but wanted to go home and talk about it first before we booked it.  So we headed home.  Most of her family living in her compound were at work so we only got to say hi to her dad, lolo (grandpa), and her tita (aunt) Helen (who is like a second mother to her).  We also got to snack on some bistek (beef and onions in a soy sauce broth) with rice.  Ronna was tired from not sleeping all night so she is currently napping and when she wakes up we will begin the week long work of planning our wedding.  I am very excited to be here with her family and to plan our wedding.  So as we take pictures, decide on things, and do fun stuff I will try to blog it all.  So please wish us luck with everything as we are slowing finding out that planning a wedding is very stressful and expensive even when you try to go cheap and the couple are simple like we are.  So stay tuned and I hope to be able to blog a few times this week.
