I dropped Chris off Saturday morning at the airport around 10 am for an 11:30 flight to Japan and then a connection to the Philippines.
He will be gone for two weeks and needs to start his trip in Singapore. He figured if he was going that far, he ought to try and fit in a trip to the Philippines to see some of his favorite Filipinos!
Sadly, just before boarding was to start he got notification that the flight was delayed. The departure team was delayed and delayed until he was looking at a four hour wait. Ugh.
He could have gotten so much more done around the house on Saturday morning with that extra time!
He was relieved to finally be on his way, but now he would miss his connecting flight from Japan to Manila.
Such a long flight. He finally was on his way on Saturday afternoon around 2 pm and I got notification during church Sunday morning that he had finally landed in Manila.
Fortunately he stayed in a really nice place in Manila Sunday night and then planned to go see the De Oceras on Monday.
He offered to have them come and swim at the hotel pool he will be staying at on Monday night. That grew from an afternoon a the pool to booking three extra rooms for them to stay the night as well. Hadn't planned on that, but probably something the De Oceras never get a chance to ever do.
From the Philippines, Chris will fly to Singapore, then Australia and the New Zealand.
I just know I am going to miss him for two weeks!
