I am very jealous right now! Why? My cousin is currently on vacation for three weeks. And she is visiting a few beautiful tourist spots. Oh how I wish I was with her now. It would be wonderful to go on a vacation too. But I just had one. My family and I had a long holiday vacation in December 2012. It was one of our wonderful getaway ever. It is because that was the vacation we spent the Holidays with my parents, siblings, niece and nephews back home for the first time. And that was my darling daughter’s first international travel and first meeting with my family in person.
One of the very important part of our vacation was getting someone who will help us with looking after our little one. I mean, we wanted an extra hand and a part time babysitter. So my younger sister got the part time job. 🙂 Although it was just domestic flight, it was my sister’s first time to fly. She was very excited.

Vacation 2012
When we went to Legaspi City in Albay (Bicol Region), my sister watched over our little princess while my husband and I went to visit with his sponsored child. DD and aunt stayed at The Oriental Legaspi Hotel relaxing and resting. Gladly they got along well and DD didn’t give her a hard time.

It’s definitely nice to have an extra set of hands on a vacation.
Oi mare, pumunta kayo sa Legazpi? I miss Legazpi na tuloy hehehe..
Aww what a great little sister you have coming and helping you out like that. Flying with little ones can be hard sometimes and you don’t always get time to yourself. SO kudos to you for making some time for you and hubby:)
We have not been on a vacation in a while. I am definitely due for one soon! Its not a bad idea at all to bring an extra person along. Ya never know what you will end up wanting to do and sometimes vacations can be tiring for little ones.
hehe… Good idea to bring your own babysitter 🙂
The weather here in Iowa is horrible right now. Even though I had a vacation in December, I’m already ready for another. Someplace WARM!
I would LOVE to go on vacation for a week let alone 3 weeks. Super jealous!!
I am planning a trip with summer with my little one. Will definitely be taking my mom so she could help.
It is always nice to have someone to help with the little ones while on vacation! 🙂
yes it is, Marcie 🙂
It was nice of your sister to babysit your little one. Iba pa rin kapag kapamilya ang magbabantay sa daughter mo, kasi you can trust them talga na aalagaan nilang mabuti ang anak mo. Parang panatag ang loob mo, dba? Anyway, I’m sure super saya ng sis mo to experience an airplane ride as well as makasama kayo ng family. 🙂
Oo sis Dhadha. And they got along well quickly too.
I’m very jealous of you and your cousin…I feel like I haven’t been on a real vacation in a while. I haven’t done international travel yet, and I really would like to go to Italy one of these days. I guess I need to get a passport first so it makes it more of a possibility and goal to shoot for.
I’d like to go visit Italy. Hopefully soon!
Glad you had an extra pair of hands!
