16 hours to Manila. Then an hour to get luggage and through customs. Then fight traffic to get from Naia 1 to Naia 3 (ugh) for another flight and Naia 3 is a really crowded airport. Yes, traffic can take forever, that's why I walked from Naia 1 to Naia 3 so I know if traffic is really bad I can get out and walk in less than two hours :)
Normally I'd just get the Red Doorz near Naia 1 which is only a short walk away (8min with luggage) but its not a very impressive hotel haha.
and yes that is all my luggage. "personal" item and "carry on" so I don't have to wait further at the baggage carousel. (from last trip to PI). But this time I'm with parents-in-law who pack a LOT
