Philippine Adventure - Day 7. Going back in time

It only took us 7 hours to get from Manila to Dallas! Ok, not really. But we did leave Manila on Tuesday at 9am and land in Dallas at 4pm on the same day. Crazy how time flies when you're.. flying.

We got up and enjoyed a lovely breakfast in the Manila Marriott hotel (including a honeycomb dripping honey for your toast), got to the airport and checked in and through all the security. Interestingly they had separate gender lines for the x-ray machines. Flew to Tokyo and settle in at the Admiral's Club which was quite nice. We had a 3.5 hour layover which provided me time to work on some schoolwork, read some of my book, and eat a few little treats. When it was time, we flew (on a new AA 777!) straight from Tokyo to DFW. I took a Zzzquil and slept for most of the 11hr flight. Landed, cleared immigrations pretty easily, and got our luggage. Sadly, that was when we had to separate our little travel party and Dad and Jeremy went on to find their connections for Amarillo and Denver. I had a friend pick me up and we went directly to SMU to our mutual Tuesday night class.

My favorite part of the day - we left Tokyo at 6pm and landed DFW at 4:30pm the same day. We flew back in time. :)

And thus ends our Philippine adventure. Overall thought consistent throughout the week: I love how friendly all the Philippines we met were!
