Eurotrip 2023: Day 15 – And just like that, bye Paris and bye Europe!

All good things come to an end, and our trip to Europe finally drew to a close. It felt strange that those days just went by, and we were about to fly home.

We were not sure when exactly we’d be back, but Mon and I are certain we’d visit again some time next year. We just had sole unfinished business in Rome and Paris. But that would have to be planned thoroughly.

We also already missed the 3 kitties at that point (just watching them play, eat and sleep from the CCTV).

Eurotrip 2023: Day 1 – Buongiorno, Roma!

And just like, the big day finally arrived: the start of our trip to Europe!

I have waited for decades, and the best news was to do it with my parents and Mon. It was such a trip of a lifetime that I have saved for quite some time just to make this happen.

We have also scheduled our visa appointment back in early March, then a couple of days after, Mon’s father had to undergo an emergency open heart surgery. More than 2 months ago, we were in Singapore with him and did not notice anything strange. We almost did not push through with the the trip.

The night before, Mama and Papa stayed at our apartment so it’d take only around 30 minutes to reach NAIA Terminal 3. I found it difficult to sleep because I normally sleep late.

It was exacerbated by my excitement over the upcoming flight, as well as worrying a bit of the three cats (who Leigh would be looking after for the next few days). I may have fallen asleep worrying until almost 2:30 am.

And before I knew it, we had to wake up at 5:30 am.

Finally, our vacation to Europe!
