Default An invitation to come to the Philippines

I have just completed my first visit with a member of this board who came to visit me in Subic Bay and I am writing to let any of you know that if you’d like to consider visiting me here, I’d be glad to entertain you. I’m retired so I’ve got time and the women here are definitely worth the longer trip.

If you’d like information, please send me a PM. I’m preparing a “Visit Jim in Subic” information sheet with details on travel and what’s available here.

Subic is definitely a party town. The US Navy had a base here until 1991 and there is quite a lot of infrastructure still in place,

Jim,
Don't be surprised if I take you up on that someday. Of course you would be welcome to visit Mexico City if you ever get the urge.

Rayzah,

There are tons of retired military here in Subic. Until 1991 there was a US Naval Base here and an Air Force base in nearby Angeles City. There are lots of people retired on 50% pension and they love their lives. Some are as young as 44.

The flight is longer than Colombia but I think it's worth it. I'm fluent in Spanish and made tons of trips south but one trip to the Philippines and I found my home. If you want a short, cheap flight, try Omaha.

The big difference is the attitude of the women. If someone falls in love with you [and I expect a line would form for this honor] she treats you like a king. No attitude, no maintanence. Pure sweetness.

Jim,
Sounds great! I was in key largo last month and my fishing guide had married a Philippine lady. He was all about how much I would love it. I have tried to send you a pm but as a newbie- I am not allowed?
