November 4, 2017 •Traveling back to Hanoi was pretty worrisome. 😕😕😕

I have been told the first day we arrived in Halong Bay that we might come back day earlier, so we won't miss the flight. But, instead we chose not to.

We left on the fourth day, and after breakfast, we were waiting for out pick up. Waiting. Waiting. 8:30 it's late. None and never one vehicle arrived.

The Halong party hotel staff was so helpful and she offered to ring up the driver. She said, he was coming in 10 minutes.

Later on a green taxi arrived. And he assured us we won't be paying anything. Everything was included. He drove us to the bus station. And almost, one lady driver of a motor driving towards our taxi. Good. He made us safe.

And... the agent was waiting for us. And, she bus conductor gave us two bus ticket which each costs 100k each.

It was long drive. Like it took 4 hours as we left around 9nish. And arrived at the bus station passed 1pm.

Worried that we might miss the plane flying at 3:50p.m.

We had no choice but we have to ring the agent to send a SUV car to pick us up at my exactly 2p.m.

Good decision because even getting there we won't make it by bus and we didn't know that the jet star to Ho Chi Minh city is in the old airport. He had to turn around and had to drop us off at the exact airport.

But before that, we took taxi group taxi very slow driving indeed. Make you so mad maybe he wanted to get extra. And we had to remind him to drive fast because we would miss the flight.

And there, the staff waiting for us and very helpful in putting out luggage in the car. The best accommodation ever! We will book here again Mayfair apartment or not sure if it is.

When we got to the airport, the driver charged us 250k. Not bad when you are so desperate.

Our worried was turned to disappointment when our flight was delayed in two hours. Instead of 4p.m. we were flying 6:30p.m.

We arrived at the Ho Chi Minh city around 9 or 10p.m. you know what's that mean? Scary.

Memories in Austria from June 7 to June 16

Day 1 in Vienna – June 7, 2012 Leaving Budapest makes me sad, but going to Vienna makes me so excited. Another cultural experience has been waiting for us. So, the day before we left the country, we made sure that we have the necessary foods for the trip and cash because we need to buy train ticket. We woke up early and started walking at 5am heading to the Train Station, Budapest- Keleti. We supposed to leave at 6:05 am; however, there was something wrong with the rail jet, so we were transferred to another train that left at 7:10. We reached in Wein Meilding station in Austria at 9: 58am. Of course, travelling is not really all fun. I felt so tired specially, you can’t sleep well and you have to wake up so early. This train or Railjet 60 is much faster than the train we had from Bekes while the train from Debeljaca to Becej is the slowest of all. This is really second to Bullet Train. They have comfortable seats and ventilations. They give us program to inform us about

Letting Go of All Worries in Donna Buang Snow Mountain, Warburton | Snowplay | August 12, 2019

They say that winter always describes as cold, numbness, scarcity even associates with death. For me, that is snow, that is those days of bluster and ice that can be dangerous, but it can be also magical. It is a flash of diamonds that are covered everywhere. It is just all pure and white. May I wish that these thick pillows adorned on the trees and the soft and fluffy snow I am stepping on could heal all my worries about the future. Yet today, I am happy simply to walk with my family in it, it creates footprints of our own. The snow is soft enough that walking itself is very challenging because aside from it is so slippery, my feet are plunging to it. " God... please help me not to slip." The worried thoughts of a 27- week pregnant mommy me. And this is my winter pregnancy worries.

Lesson learned: Expect the Unexpected

T raveling is not e asy e specially when you have to step out of your comfort zone. A ll the inconvenience, desperation, and unexpected troubles that happened during the trip are lessons to reflect upon. We have proven how risky traveling is w hen my husband and I went to Europe for our honeymoon last year. T here were times we put our selves in danger because we messed out our bookings and things didn't work out as we planned them. Since the first day of our trip, we were used to booking our next departure ticket ever y time we arrived in a city. It was in contrast on what happen in Sweden. We didn’t know that we had to book the ticket from Copenhagen. Apparently, we thought that we are getting ahead, but we are not. We had to call Denmark's office to book the ticket knowing that we had no where to print it. It was a blessing that the Sony Center allowed us to print the ticket. When we arrived in our next destination, Germany to
