Goodbyes

We had our despededa ( going away ) party hosted by Jun and his girl friend Chay the night before we go back to the U.S. I must say that Filipinos really know how to party.

Horsing around with cousins on the night before departure...

Goodbyes is such a drag and it sucks. Anyway, the whole village send us off to the airport on July 24 and had our tearful goodbyes. We had 12 hours lay over in Hong Kong! It wasn't so bad as we thought. In Hong Kong there are lounge areas that you can really stretch to sleep. We had a little " nap " ( for what's it's worth ) to prepare for our loooong trip home. Our flight was direct from Hong Kong to LA! Usually we had to stopped over in Vancouver to refuel/pick up passengers. So, the direct flight was a surprised and a bonus. The flight home was uneventful and smooth, no delays or whatsoever.
