Things are getting hectic for us at home due to a major family trip to Europe less than a month from now. Preparing for travel just seems to make us more excited AND pressured too. At least, I’m done worrying about having internet access in Manila since I have the SmartBro kit installed in my laptop now. Yey! One down… how many more to go?

Well, I still have to make a list of trip essentials – clothes, personal effects, food, souvenirs, pasalubongs and stuff – to buy and bring with me. Then there are other concerns such as our visa, travel insurance and all. This reminds me of the saying, “Do your best, and God will do the rest.” Yes, we are really doing what we can with the travel preparations. With God’s help, I know the trip will be a safe and happy one for our family.
