3 more days to go before departure

3 more days to go and i'll be able to scratch USA off my VERY LONG list of places to visit (so long as no problems encountered at the immigration ---crossing my fingers)

i feel excited and scared at the same time. i've never traveled this far, unaccompanied. i've been to different places here and abroad. been to UK with cielo, that's the farthest so far. been to Indonesia alone...but that's just about half a day travel plus the stop at Singapore. this trip will be a whole new experience for me.

i'll be boarding the delta and united airlines (codeshare flight) and this is my exciting but complicated route:

MNL-NRT-SFO-SAC

SAC-SLC-NY

NY-MNL

i feel sad, though, for having to leave my baby sam for 2 weeks. i'm sure she would miss me :( and i too, would miss her terribly. but this rarely happens and i'm sure hubby and my parents will be able to fill the gap.
