I am finally packed and ready to go to Puerto Princesa in the morning. Yey! I am so excited! However, there’s nothing like a big-assed boo-boo to dampen one’s holiday mood.

As I was printing out our e-ticket, I realized that I somehow booked us at the GoLite rate. This means that The Husband and I can only take one 7-kilo carry-on bag each. Seven kilos for a 4-day trip? I don’t think so!

So I called Cebu Pacific to see what we can do to get our baggage allowance reinstated. Apparently, we’re going to need to pay P400 PER PERSON, EACH WAY when we check in tomorrow. Somehow, the P400 discount I got when I initially booked our flight months ago is going to cost me P1,600! That hurts. A lot. Serves me right for being a fuckin’ cheapskate.

I am hoping to get the baggage allowance reinstated for just one person, The Husband’s. My suitcase is actually small enough to carry on, and I’m hoping to get away with hand-carrying it along with my laptop/camera/iPad bag. I won’t get my hopes up, though, because both bags already weigh about 5-6 kilos apiece.

Whatever the case, I’m going to just grin and bear it. I’m determined to enjoy this holiday (even if I do have to work in the evenings). I’m going to relax, snorkel my lungs out, take hundreds of photos, lounge on log furniture by the beach, get a tan, watch birds, catch up on my reading, and canoodle with The Husband like there’s no tomorrow.

But for now, I’m going to kick myself senseless.
