Philippines: 6 Aug to 9 August 2016: Alabang Joint Installatio

We are off to the Philippines for our sister's club joint installation on 8 August 2016.

We will be there from 6 to 9 August and we will be in for a lovely time, mostly to meet the Alabang members again.

 Here we are at the HSBC Premier Miles Club Premium Lounge and Lim had to pay 2000 points each for all of us to enter! 

 He said, take a photo to send to Alabang to let them know we are on the way....

 But he doesn't know that I am taking a photo of him enjoying his kway teow soup!!!

 Soon, Jimmy joined us in the lounge.

We are both at "super seats" (actually forgot the term) while the three of them paid extra for their "FLEXI SEATS" 

 We have landed, and Anthony has joined us.

At the conveyor belt waiting for our luggage....lots of photos.....hehe. to post to the Facebook Messenger Group (this is how we and the Alabang members communicate) so  that we sure we are are picked up at the airport!!!!  Lots of food adventures and a day tour to follow soon!!!
