What I want for my Birthday!

How do I start?

Our daughter came to our lives in July 7, 2006 and her brother soon after on December 12, 2007. From then, till now, we have never been back to Tuguegarao. My kids have not met all of their aunts and uncles ( my hubby's brothers and sisters ages range from 24 - 7 and hubby is the eldest) because some of them suffer from motion sickness.
