Since around 2000, I take an extended, one-month trip every 3 to 4 years to an international destination.  Sometimes it's a vanilla vacation with friends to Europe, sometimes I visit new lands for personal enlightenment (been to 31 countries now), and sometimes, well, it's to fuck.  

 
My next trip is happening in July to the Philippines, and I am NOT going there for cultural enlightenment!  I will be in Manila and Angeles City for 15 days each and if I do this right, I will comeback with amazing memories, most of my retirement fund intact, both of my kidneys, and without any unwanted micro-organisms. LOL  

 
So how do you tell a current SB that you will be visiting one of the most obvious and well-known sex-tourist destinations - for a MONTH?  Well, I just told her yesterday:  
"By the way, I'm going to the Philippines in July, babe."  
"Oh, sounds fun... any room for me?"  (Ok, so maybe it's not that obvious that it's a sex-tourism place?)  
"Sorry, not this time. I'll be meeting an old work buddy. He's been living there for years and keeps inviting me to visit... want some more mashed potatoes, Babe?"  

 
And then I asked her some blah, blah questions about her school and work.  

 
And that's it. That was yesterday and my ball sack was not cut off during the wee-cuddle hours of the night.  

 
Anyone have a similar or not-similar experience?

If you’re retired it can’t be a work trip.
So maybe a friend wants you to invest in .. you can probably come up with something better than I can.

You don’t have to say you’re going to the Philippines.
You might say your aunty died in Albuquerque and you’re the executor for the estate.

... it's too easy to fuck up later.   But I also don't want to say more than I need to.  So I have become adept at giving vague answers then changing the subject.  

 
I told her everything I wanted to, and nothing I don't. Now I'll see if that works well.  

 
And as it turns out, I am flying to Albuquerque on Thursday. LOL!  So maybe I use that as a back up plan.

...hey sweety pie, I'm going out of the country for sex!  I've had a few top tier SBs in my rotation over the years who would LOVE that idea and expect lots of details when I got back home.  Yeah, most would not like the idea, so a good story is not a bad idea.  I'm flying out to San Diego on Tuesday to pick up a motorcycle and ride it home.  I've told my SBs that's what I'm doing, and it's true too.  I failed to mention I'm also planning to hook up with a lovely past SB in SD while I'm there, and maybe stop in Phx to meet another.

...is the SD Master!  

 
Safe travels... and happy stops along the way!

Some serious Qs.  
.
I assume that you will bring her (or all of your SBs) some gifts / trinkets so you'll have proof of being in the Philippines and have something to talk about.  
Cat: "I was walking past this little vendor in the square, I saw this chachke on his cart and I immediately thought of you."  
SB: "A crappy $2 "Made in Philippines" scarf I can get at the local Walmart? And that made you think of ME? Thanks a lot, you cheap bastard."  
kind of talk.  OK, maybe a cheap scarf isn't the right gift.  
.
But also, will your SBs be "loyal" and return to you after a month of no PPMs?  Do you give them anything to tide them over or, safer, PROMISE them double PPMs for the first couple of meets after you get back?  
.
Any other advice on prepping for a sabbatical from a bunch of SBs?

I'm not worried about her "cheating" on me, since she has a current BF and at least one other SD.  

 
I will probably drop her some cash before I go - maybe 200-300-ish? She's on the low end of my PPM range, so even if I toss her two sessions' of PPM, it's not a big deal for me.  And I'll send her some VERY carefully staged pics from Manila along the way.    

 
Gifts? Hm...I suppose I may see something interesting and if I don't buy it for the 20-year old, 97 lb. Bar Girl or Freelancer spinner I'm banging for the day, I might take it home for my SB. But I'll probably just get her something "Philippines-ish" at the airport.  Ot maybe I'll get a hand-crafted trinket for $3 and tell her it's a Pinay Sex Toy?

Philippines sounds like a blast.. wish I could 'tagalog' with you.
Are you using SA for the trip? Interesting to see if those messages from all those babes abroad are for real.

I've been doing a lot of research on mongering in the Philippines, since this will be my 1st time there.  

 
There are generally 3 "sources" for meeting POT's for BCD dates:  
1. Bar Girls in, and Freelancers outside, the bars:  These are strait up pro's working for one-time hook ups for a fee. But it's not uncommon to ask a lady to hang with you for an extended time (over night or even multiple days) for an additional fee.
2. Dating Apps: Depending on the App (including SA), you will find a mix of pros, semi-pros, and "civilian" women here.  Generally, the pros ask more than the Bar Girls and Freelancers, while the civilians ask for less but are looking for a long-term BF/"Supporter" when the guy goes back to his home country (this will NOT be me!). Many of these are even looking (hoping!) for a hubby to take them out of poverty in the Philippines.  
3. Civilian women who are looking for a foreign man for a relationship through "regular" dating that could lead to a BF,  Hubby, etc.  

 
I haven't spent any quality time vetting dating app POT's yet. From what I've learned, these apps are generally useless until you are "in-country," unless you are interested in sending money to someone you have never met overseas - which is a cardinal sin in the Sugar Bowl.  

 
But once I am within 2-3 days of my fly date, I'll start to actively look and respond to POTs from online apps.  Fortunately, I expect my Sugar Radar to serve me well in land of A Thousand Islands.
