Hope to arrive in Houston on May 20.

Ron has made reservations to leave Tanjay, Philippines about 10 a.m. on May 19.  We will go to Manila from the airport in Dumaguete and from Manila to the Narati Airport in Toyoko by Japan Air, arriving in the late afternoon.   We will face the quarantine, testing at that airport.   We won't know what is involved until we get there.   I checked with a flight attendant who is from Japan and goes there often through this airport.   She is worried that we will face the quarantine ordeal but the only other way to get back to the U.S. in through Los Angeles and take another flight to Houston. We would be in coach going through LAX and we are hoping we will get business class on American since we are flying on buddy passes.    If all goes well with the quarantine/testing, we have an all-night stay in the airport until our flight leaves the next morning about 10 a.m.    There are some day rooms there but they close at 9 p.m. so they will not be of any use to us.   Our pilot friend who provided the buddy passes said we can go to the Admiral's Club and rest and have food.   According to the flight attendant, most shops and restaurants in the airport have limited hours when they are open.    We will have to go and see what we will face to clear that airport and get to Houston, hopefully on the flight leaving on May 20.   Since we are a day ahead in Asia, it will still be May 20 when we arrive in Houston.   My birthday is May 24th.   I will be suffering with jetlag so I told Ron I want a good pizza delivered to the RV that day.   I may eat a whole one myself!!!

We pray everyone is well and with the limited openings in the U.S. that the virus will not spike and cause more deaths.    We all know now bow to appreciate a normal day and be thankful when we have those again.   Be thankful when you have freedom to go to work and back to worship services but be diligent.  Don't take chances and be careless.   Take care of yourself and others.   God be with you.
