I am going home again after 4 years of being away from my home country Philippines because of the pandemic. My hubby booked the flights of course with return flights. My head is so full. I have a lot of things to do and to prepare. We still have to book the hotel for an overnight stay before flying to my home in the south.
I am so excited and I am looking forward to see my siblings and their families, our house and our garden. Of course, I am looking forward to my friends who kept on asking when I could come again. I kept on saying, as soon as possible.
I will be seeing that sunset again in the photo above.
Well, that’s my good news. What about you? Do you have good news to share with me? I hope though that you are all in good health.
Thank you for reading. Have a nice weekend.

I am so happy for you. 4 years is quite long and I can imagine how much you miss your home country and your family here.

Yes, it is a long time. Without the pandemic, we would have been every year in the Philippines. Thank you @toniganzon.

That’s terrific! I can’t imagine how excited you must be. How excited was your family when you told them? I can’t fathom being gone from home that long; you were strong to handle it so well. I look forward to hearing more when you finally arrive back in the Philippines.

This is a great news!
Covid 19 did impact the travel plans of many.
I hope that you would enjoy the break and a good time at your native place.

This post reminded me of our holidays in school, and we going home from hostel. LOL.
I heard Philippines is a very beautiful country.
My good news is, I am going to Shirdi (pilgrimage) on Monday and will be back on Thursday. :)
Been wanting to do this for more than 4 years. So yeah, I am excited too.
