It's more fun in the Philippines

"It's 7,107 times more fun in the Philippines."

Mayon Volcano is an active stratovolcano in the Philippine province of Albay.

I left the Philippines before my 10th birthday.  I've vacationed in 1978, 1986, 1999, 2005 and 2013.  With 7107 islands in the Philippines, I still have many more sights to see "back home."  But nothing would give me more pleasure than bringing my family to visit Albay and hiking up Mayon Volcano just as my Lolo did in his youth.
