On the 11th of December 2004, Rommel, Jeanne, Celine and Jessica embarked on a journey that will be remembered and cherished for all time. They visited family and friends in Los Angeles, Vancouver, Calgary, Washington D.C., New York and the Philippines. They visited places they once just read about. Such places were Orlando, Paris and London.
The trip took 52 days from the time they left Sydney until they returned home on the 30th of January 2005. In this trip, Jessica and Celine met their cousins, uncles and aunts – some of them for the first time.
During the trip, we also celebrated in advance the 18th birthday of Celine in Baguio City, her birth place. This event was attended by over 160 relatives and guests.
The following are 3 minute videos of the trip highlights. It is a tribute and thank you for all the wonderful people who made our trip enjoyable and meaningful. We hope you would enjoy watching it.

I will forever hold the beautiful memories of this trip close to my heart. I don’t know when this kind of opportunity will ever be there again but having had at least one chance makes it a lot more valuable.
