My Manila-Prague trip
Over all, my trip from Manila to Prague was just ‘perfect’ and I am thankful for the little things that made it such a breeze.
The night before my flight, I was still busy trying to organize my luggage and bags while chatting with my cutie sis in Prague and finalizing things. With just few hours of sleep, I woke up drowsy and tired, feeling so tense and excited at the same time. After a quick breakfast, securing my techie bro’s condo (tidying up the place and turning off the main power switch) and getting everything ready, my companion and I waited at the lobby for a taxi to pick us up. I was a bit worried that I would be late for the 10:45am flight.
These are just some of the little things during my trip that I am thankful for:
- I checked in a medium-sized suitcase with trolley and a big duffle bag which registered 20.9 kilograms on the scale. It was just fine with KLM Royal Dutch Airlines’ 20 kilograms baggage allowance.
- KLM had many check-in counters and there were no long queues so I was able to get my boarding pass quickly.
- The Immigration Officer didn’t even bother asking me questions. She just stamped the departure date after examining my passport.
- The flight from Manila to Amsterdam went on as scheduled with no delays. The plane ride was fine except for few seconds of turbulence.
- At Amsterdam Airport Schiphol, I managed to find my way to the correct boarding gate for my flight to Prague. I got easily through Passport Control with just few questions from the Immigration Officer.
- The flight from Amsterdam to Prague arrived earlier than expected.
When I went out the exit doors at the Ruzyne International Airport in Prague, I was just so glad to see my cutie sis and her hubby, mom and my little niece baby C waiting for me nearby. The cool weather which greeted me was such a nice welcome from the hot tropics where I came from. The sky was still bright even at 9pm and I was just enjoying the view outside the car window, observing the buildings and streets, as we were cruising through Prague’s highway. Whew, it’s good to be finally here.
“Great post! Crikvenica sounds like an amazing destination for a family vacation. I’d love to hear more about the activities…
