An Exciting Trip Back Home to the Philippines

Finally, after two years of living in the USA, I'm back home now in the Philippines. I can't describe how excited I am when we stepped on the plane in Korea on the way to Cebu. The 5 hours flight from Korea to Cebu seemed longer than the 12 hours from San Francisco to Korea.

It's not just me being home that excites me so much. It is also because it's the first time that my mom meets Eben, her first grandbaby.

In the plane, Eben did good although he cried for a little bit when he felt the ear pains caused by the air pressure. The trip was long, tiring but full of excitement and anticipation. When we landed we had to go through immigration and custom.

At the Immigration desk, my husband gave our passports to the guy in charge in the desk then on to customs. While we were still inside the airport, I could see my mom already together with my brother and sister outside looking for us. When we got all our luggages back, my heart was beating so fast because I was so anxious already to see my family. When we're finally out, they were running fast towards us. My mom then just grabbed Eben saying nothing to us and just paid all her attentions to Eben for the first 10 minutes of that meeting. I could tell that she was so excited to see us but most especially the baby.

The event was fast. Until now, I still can't believe that I am already back here in the Philippines and with my family. I'd hate to go back to the USA but whether I like it or not, I really have to come back there when our vacation is over because that's my husband's homeplace and I don't want to keep him away from his own home and family too.

Right now, I should just better enjoy the rest of our vacation and not think too much about our trip back to the USA because what's important is today.
