Off to the beach

We’re off to Paradise Island Park and Beach Resort where we’ll celebrate NEW YEAR. This will be the first time that we are celebrating new year away from our relatives. However, the family is complete (except of course for Mamang who have gone before us). I really hope New Year’s eve and New Year’s day in Paradise would be a lot of fun because this is also our first time to celebrate this occasion at the beach!

Anyway, Happy New Year everyone! See ya’ all when we’re back from the resort.
