We booked a shuttle bus, i had my breakfast, we checked out from hotel\u2026and the shuttle bus didn\u2019t turn up<\/p>\n<p>Finally we got taxi sending us to Airport, faster and amazingly the taxi could carry all our stuff (2 super big luggages, 1 medium luggage, 1 dozz, 1 small luggage, 1 bagpack, 1 handcarry, and 1 laptop\u2026total 4 luggages to be check-in later, and 4 hand-carries)<\/p>\n<p>The drama happened at the check-in counter, where i underestimate two super luggage weight. The nite before i estimated one is 30-35 kg, and the other one 25-30 kgs. And to our horror, they are at 50 and 40 kgs, while the allowed luggage is only 32 kgs.<\/p>\n<p>So we unpacked the biggest luggage\u2026first attempt, we removed about 6 kg. What?? Another 6-7 kgs more to go, since they allow maximum of 37.5 kg.<\/p>\n<p>So we did the 2nd unpacking and reshuffling\u2026.this time round, we managed to removed another 3 kgs. What\u2026after removing all the heavy stuff and the big luggage seems empty now, we only reduced 3 kgs. Guess where those weight transfereed? To Andrew\u2019s luggage\u2026:D My sis was quite amazed\u2026.where do i learnt such efficient packing skills? Of course from Mission Trip\u00a0<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/s.tabulas.com\/ik\/smilies\/yellow\/smile.gif\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Well, we tried the last one, and suceeded to remove another 2.5 kgs. Thats it\u2026if we can\u2019t make it, we\u2019ll throw away some stuff. And Thank God we could keep everything\u2026and in fact due to shortage of time, they allowed the 40 kgs luggage to pass.<\/p>\n<p>This time round, the luggage becomes our hero. Initially i packed only about 20 kgs. And so all the kgs are transferred to the saving luggage\u00a0<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/s.tabulas.com\/ik\/smilies\/yellow\/wink.gif\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Only when we arrived in Toronto, and i did little of unpacking to carry just one bagpack to New York, i found out that the soap has leaked into my clothes.\u00a0<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/s.tabulas.com\/ik\/smilies\/yellow\/cry.gif\" alt=\"\" \/>\u00a0\u00a0 Apparently somehow the luggage was thrown very hard\u2026and the soap (body wash) was pressed out\u2026and with my limited clothes\u2026i now have even less.\u00a0 Thank God that the saving luggage now really sacrifice himself\u2026not only my clothes affected\u2026but i\u2019ve dirty Andrew\u2019s luggage (a dry clean i supposed\u2026<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/s.tabulas.com\/ik\/smilies\/yellow\/rasp.gif\" alt=\"\" \/>)<\/p>\n<p>Was quite frustrated\u2026i\u2019ve to find laundry in New York to survive wearing clothes\u2026have to clean Andrew\u2019s luggage as well, and some other stuff that was \u2018cleaned\u2019 by the leaked soap.<\/p>\n<p>Less dramatic\u2026(maybe i\u2019ve forgotten the details)\u2026to unpack 3 times nevertheless is an unforgetable memory of UCANTA trip. Thank God that we made it\u2026.i think we spent about 1 hour at check-in point, and left with 30 minutes before boarding.<\/p>\n<p>Where is God in this journey? He\u2019s everywhere, guiding us through and bringing us pass the difficult and almost impossible situation\u2026and reassuring to me indeed He\u2019s the Sovereign Lord.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I spent about 6 days in Orlando, 4 days in Disney World + 1 day rest + 1 Disney Downtown..Another long story that shall be kept for other time.
