A month to recuperate from our February trip and we are all off again on another grand adventure. This time, we would be celebrating multiple occasions – my 42nd birthday, dad’s 75th birthday, mom’s 65th birthday and their 45th anniversary. We left it to my parents to decide where they wanted to go to celebrate and they bounced around the idea of Australia, Maldives and Spain before finally settling on Singapore.
After Singapore, we would all go our separate ways – they would head back home while the Mrs, Junior and I would head to the Philippines for a wedding plus some beach time in Boracay. Then we would close off the trip with a couple days in Bali before heading back home.
I helped my parents and sister build out their points balances over the past year and they were able to accumulate their own pool to book award flights.
