Andre and I woke up at 2:45AM today as we are catching a 4AM bus to London. Today is going to be hectic as along with us is over 60kg of luggage for "pasalubong" or souvenirs. As I am going home to the Philippines after 4 years of being away. But first we are heading to Italy for a week to celebrate Andrea and his mom's birthdays. The plan is for o drop our luggage for Philippines at my friend's house in London. So far so good and smooth sailing. The uber driver was kind and did not complain about pur excessive luggage and the bus driver accepted our extra luggage as well as trip amendment to a better bus stop. I hope our luck continues as the day progress.

It seems a lucky day and the weather is gorgeous today and it will be beautiful also tomorrow here. Milan usually has the same kind of weather.

We are heading to Venice early tomorrow I think. But it is lovely weather even here in London. We fly in 45 minutes.

It is both exciting and exhausting but I am going to focus on the former.

We are on the train to Venice.

Have a safe journey. Excess luggage is a worry always, but we cannot avoid it at times.

Yesterday the Italian luggage exceeded a kilo and Andre had to pay extra 12£ but at least not too expensive.

Wish you a happy journey home. Enjoy yourself. Too much of luggage is always a problem when you have to shift from one city to another or one country to another.

We have successfully left our luggage at my friend's house and now going to our gate for Italy. I am excited to see this country but I worry I will spend too much and not have money for home.

Just kick back and enjoy every moment of the journey! 4 years is a long time. And 60kg luggage! Hope you are planning a lightweight return trip

The return would definitely be a lot lighter. I managed a 2 hour snooze on the bus.
