I went to 4 different states this time round.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"p1\">I started my journey in Chicago, followed by New York City, San Francisco, Berkeley, Scottsdale, Tempe and Sedona. That\u2019s like 7 cities in 4 states (Illinois, New York, California and Arizona). I am in east coast, west coast, midwest and southwest of US and experienced 2 different temperature ranges of winters. Definitely quite an experience and I think I brought enough clothing too. In fact, there are some jackets I ended up not wearing at all. There\u2019s also 1 jeans that I didn\u2019t wear at all because it was already quite big. I basically reduce size in my waist within the first week. Lol\u2026 I needed to buy 1 more belt soon if this continues. Sigh.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"p1\">I came back with 46kg of luggage. I already finished the full bottle of First Care serum and also threw it away too. I ate all the snacks and took out everything that I don\u2019t need to brung back to Singapore and I am still exceeding the weight limit for both luggages. Luckily I am flying back so they seem ok to let me hit around 46kg. Otherwise I think it is 45 or 45.5kg for combined weight limit\u2026 well, I came with 39.6kg so I definitely shopped a bit. Haha. I even had to wear my boots to make space and reduce weight for one of my luggage and I still can burst the weight limit. It\u2019s pretty uncomfortable to travel long hours with boots but it is what it is\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"p1\">I don\u2019t think I want to do this again &#8211; flying to 2 places with such a wide range of temperatures. I basically have to cater from -15 degree celsius (Chicago) all the way to 25 degree celsius (Scottsdale). It\u2019s crazy but I have a feeling that when I get the opportunity again, I will do it once again. LOL. But at least now I have 2 new Canada Goose jackets that can handle such wide range without too much layering (aka no need to bring so many clothes anymore). Shrugs.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"p1\">Now I hope my house is ok because the internet connectivity went down when I am in San Francisco, which is like the midway of my entire trip. So I cannot see the CCTV for the last 2 weeks which sucks big time. I also cannot start my robot vacuum to clean my house just before I reach home. Lol.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I\u2019m finally flying back home after 1 month (30 days) in US. I went to 4 different states this time round.
