Just booked a week in London and a week in Malta in July.
Been to Cebu the scientific center, and a friend was from Mindanau. Gets progressively more Muslim as you go south. Many beautiful islands.Looking at a month in next winter. Could be a little longer.
Mindoro, Corun, Palawan, Cebu/Eastern Visayas. Maybe Borocay but we are told by our Aussie friends that it is overrun.

As for crazy guys running the country.....that would severely limit our travel options if we based on decisions on this!
I was looking at visiting Bali.
Then I learned about Shappelle Corby. Haven't decided but kind of sounds like one of those Middle Eastern countries where Western tourists got in trouble for having liquor on the beach or even the case of a woman who was raped in her hotel room being tried for adultery.
Agree entirely. Our OZ friends have counseled against Bali. Lots of other places on our list to avoid the winter weather.
We have had our fair share of beer and drinks on the beach in Malaysia and Turkey. I think it very much depends on what country you visit. Heck, I was in Witchita on business years ago and could not believe how archaic their liquer laws were.
Yes Malaysia as a former Commonwealth country is very familiar in many ways even though the leader of the opposition is held in jail. Even Indonesia seems to be safe these days.It is fine. You simply need to avoid certain parts of the country.
