As a frequent visitor to Las Vegas for decades and a resident for 11 years, I'm proud of my vast knowledge of all things vintage Vegas.

It has been five years since my husband, Ruben, and I last visited the Philippines, so our trip back home in November was special. It was our first time flying via Philippine Airlines (PAL), and during the 13-hour flight, the flight attendants made us feel like we were already in the Philippines. They served delicious Filipino food, from sinigang na baboy and pork adobo to arroz caldo and tapsilog.
