Island Hopping: The Best of the Philippines

I have been blessed with a job that has taken me to every continent except for Antarctica. Over the last ten years, I have been to almost 40 different countries countless times, racking up over a million miles on various frequent flier cards along the way. But no matter how near or how far I've gone, I can honestly say that the Philippines is really more fun.
