Travel trip philippines

Seems like ages since I last went on a beach holiday trip to relax. Due to RR going cebu for a business trip. I joined him. 

He covered my flight, hotel and some of the meals expenses. Went there for 12 days. Had super great time. We went jetski, parasailing, sea trekking, snorkelling with turtles, sardines, rays and sharks. Cant rmb when was the last time I have been so super charge by a beach trip.

We both agreed this trip is much more happening and exciting than our trip to bangkok. He said he will nv go explore all these activities if he is alone. Being with me give him an opportunity to do all of these. 

We came back today. I ask if he miss going home. He said yes. Cause there is a lot of work back in sg waiting for him and he miss his bed. Cant blame as the bed in cebu is really not up to standard. Not to mention the non sound proof walls. So damn noisy.

I said when we retire not working. We can travel 2 weeks overseas 2 weeks back at sg. He say he prefer to hop around the world. 1 month here and 1 month there. I said u dont miss home meh? He said what home? I say home back to sg. He said my home is with you. ❤️ If not cause of responsibility for work, he dont have to be back. 

I have been reflecting why is the trip so enjoyable?

1. We both have respect for each other private times and habits. He gyms i dont. He eat bf and I dont. We arrange hotel with gym and plan around the habits. We dont overstep, pressure to join or rush each other. We are both doing thing together and also alone at our own pace. This is also why my holiday is enjoyable with my best friends. Together but still Free. Except of those dangerous activities. 

2. We communicate and plan things together. We take each other opinions into consideration. He is not a person that can stay out in the sun for too long. So we arrange alternate day indoor and outdoor.

3. We look out for each other and remind each other on things to take note like rmb to bring camera, power bank etc. 

4. We help each other. Making use of our strengths while the other compensate for the weakness. Though most of the time he provides and directs. Since Im the more clumsy and forgetful one. He carried the luggages, planned, booked the transports, packs and unpacks the bags needed daily. I helped with the smaller task based on my strength and within my means. 😆 

5. Not everybody is perfect. Things dont always go our way and we make mistakes. But we dont harp on each other mistakes and we dont cry other spilled milk. We apologize when we need. Treat all as learning points. We let each other win during differing opinions. When things are off we just enjoy each other's company while waiting. 

The main purpose is we just enjoy our time being together and doing things together. Even if it is doing nothing. No fights, no quarrel, no arguments. Cant wait for my next beach trip.
