Carmina gave Mom Violy a list of restaurants for her to decide with a link of the websites for her to see which one look something she would like to try. One week before Mom Violy's birthday she made her final choice where she would like to try Mamou .

Honestly based on after 3 years traveling it can be very
stressful.
When you're no longer use to packing and luggage's not been able
to explore outside also start to break off.
Before Carmina was leaving her home her luggage broke I guess you
just thank yourself it didn't break on the start of your new journey.
Carmina had borrowed someone else's luggage.
Stress starts to flow on your head making sure you're finally set
to leave the house.
Upon packing up Mom Violy making sure she has everything with her
such as her US Passport, Philippine Passport, R.A. Dual Citizen Documents,
jacket and medication for health before stepping foot at her home.
Make sure everything is unplugged at your home when leaving.
Based on Carmina passed experience Mom Violy has forgotten stuff
before traveling why we need to check ahead before leaving their home.

challenge and strength.
