THE FLIGHT

Manila – Taipei ( 1 hour & 40 mins, Airbus A340)
Masaya naman ang aming paglipad…
Nakatikim na ulit ng “plane food/meal” (1st time for Jovell) – sarap ng Chicken Rice!
Good take off and landing…whew!
Pagdating ng Taipei medyo nagkaroon ng konting pagbabago…
Our Boarding Gate was changed from D1 to D4.

Malaki ang Tao Yuan International Airport sa Taipei.
Sumakay pa kami ng “Automatic SkyTrain papunta sa aming Boarding Gate”
Kung napapagod ka naman sa paglakad, meron umaandar na similar to escalator na pag tumapak ka don ay uusad ka…Wow!

Nga pala…dun sa Taipei meron signal yung OFW SIM ko (pero pagdating na ng San Francisco at Daly City…WALA NA! L)
Sa Taipei, meron lumabas na “Chungwa” sa cellphone ko…yun siguro yung Mobile operator/partner dun.

The Flight
We left Bro. Mark’s place at 11:40 a.m. and headed to he airport. At 2:20 p.m., China Airlines’ gate opened. We boarded the plane at 5:00 p.m. As I write this, we are seated at Taipei Airport waiting for our connecting flight to San Francisco. We arrived here at around 7:02 p.m. It’s exactly 8:18 p.m. on my watch (Manila & Taipei) and Bro. Mark and Tita Nora are both asleep on the ses to my left. Jovell is enjoying her ‘onion rings chips’ while Kuya Arnel roams the place; inspecting as usual, like a curious kid.

We met a new friend, Ana. She lives in Sacramento now with her sister; works there; and also studies Nursing. She said she lives near Bayside. Interesting.

It seemed that they switched the gates for our SF flights from D1 to D4. Anyway, we won’t be leaving until 11:10 pm.

My sister is really having a blast with the OFW Sim thing and is texting to and fro. Well, that’s technology!
