On our way back to the US, Joe, Daniel and Katie flew with Andy to Manila, where Andy would remain for his senior year at Faith Academy. While there we were able to visit the Rafetto family (Dad's sister) as well as the Malabuyo family, who had just moved there. After a few days there, we set out for Thailand and later the States.

Philippine Airlines serves great snacks ... except for Chokies.

Granny - if you ever decide to move to Manila, I have found the right jeepney for you!

Daniel driving in (augh!!) crazy Manila traffic.

We spent one morning at Faith Academy where Andy has enjoyed going to school for the past year. We were also able to visit the DeHarts again.

We spent an afternoon visiting with Aunt Margie & Uncle Tom Rafetto and their youngest son Tony, who live in Manila.
