The departure is near

The backpacks are packed and all that's left is to think about what we might have forgotten.. Is it true? Can we actually travel to the Philippines again after two and a half years? What will have changed? Until now, we've been busy putting together papers, QR codes, and documents online and on paper, but slowly the travel bug is kicking in :-) The weather is playing with little snow showers and we can look forward to warmth. However, the long journey with three flights is still exhausting: 6.5 hours to Dubai, 8.5 hours to Manila, then another 1 hour 40 minutes to Cagayan de Oro and an hour's bus ride to the city, we will arrive around midnight.
