It drove me nuts! 🤬

Yes! you read that right. That was my first impression from the moment we left home, to the time we hop on the plane. The 1 hour ride from Manila to Cebu made it seemed like forever! God! It's so hard for an impatient person like me to travel with kids. NEVER EASY!

But, I prayed. I inhaled and exhaled. I kept my cool. And tried again!

I stretched myself and tried the hardest to be patient. I had to! I need to understand what my kids are feeling and attend to them. I have to ask them what they need, so I will know and I can help them.

My son was the hardest to understand, he tells nothing to me and all he says was he misses home. This breaks my heart into a million pieces. Because right there, I realized that I'm not their home. They seemed to feel like I've pulled them away from their home and the people they love at home. Sad! But this is on me, this is the outcome when you leave a toddler to your parents and work thousands of miles away. They knew they're your mom, but that's just it. Nothing follows...

Anyway, sob story aside. We still did it! With all the struggles we faced, we still enjoyed and still enjoying our much needed vacation. Yay for us! 🥰

PS: I have to push Andrei to take a photo because he seemed to not want it 🤷‍♀️

Your traveling momma,
