Hello there Mr Homeslice, firstly, thank you for your post, while reading it I couldn't stop and wanting to read and know more, you did great telling us about your experiences. I am sorry to hear about your flight, we can certainly learn from experience and know better next time around.

I am truly happy to hear that your stay in Leyte went well, I was worried that you might encounter some unpleasant experience but thank god that you are okey and got back to America alright. I am also happy to hear that you famously get along well with Marleen. I would like to congratulate the two of you for the wonderful start of a may be a good friendship now and in the future.

Would like to hear a good post from you again, and for now I understand that you maybe still suffering from a jetlag, I know coming back from a long distance travel could somehow affect one's condition, the time difference, the surroundings, the climate, language etc. all have to be back to normal again, lol!! and I am sure that you feel it's GOOD TO BE BACK home again.

Take care always.

Linda
