JFK

TRAVELS FROM NORTH AMERICA BACK TO SINGAPORE

We got to the Burlington airport bright and early.  The security was confused about the Epsom Salts I had in my carry on (it was too heavy for my checked baggage, as I had to take ten pounds out, or pay 50$).   They scanned it 4 times, did a drug and bomb search on it, along with my Kindle and toothbrush, LOL.  I eventually got them through.

When I checked in at JFK, Emirates  gave me a window seat, so I changed the JFK-DUBAI portion to an aisle seat, but they could not help me with the Dubai-Spore portion. The people sitting next to me are going to be annoyed with a huge guy taking up 1 and a 1/2 seats, LOL.  I had reserved them in the aisle in Sept., but looks like I got bumped, again, as did Carol.  Next time, cheapie Charlie airlines, all the way!!

I was able to use my Korean Air Skymiles on the flight, which is good, because they never expire. 

I checked my bag at JFK and they asked my to bring it over to the security belt myself.  On the way over, I put my shoes, salt and other items (10 pounds) back into my check bag.  The security guard wished me a pleasant flight.  

I am at JFK waiting to board the plane.  Had a coffee and window shopped to kill time.  I also bought Carol a surprise!!  I am sure as soon as she reads this, she is going to ask me what it is, but I won't give in, ha ha ha.  But I know she will love it and put it to good use.

The boarding area is surprisingly small.  There is a small duty free, a head set booth, a money changer, two bagel/coffee places, a bar and a magazine/chips store.

Thank you very much for your hospitality all along the way.  It was great to see everyone.  Please tell Glenn, Leah, Norah, Linda, Ellen, Stan, Roz, Bruce, Joanne, Hyun-Mi, Mary and Ajama (harmony) I said thank you for everything.

The shopping, sightseeing, eating, catching up with friends / family, working out, seeing Duane, talking to Josh & Stanley Diamond, coffee and gifts/lifts were all appreciated.

Until next time!!

Love Mike & Carol

Hi Sharon,   I heard from dad that you are going to kick cancer's ass again.  Well, I just want to tell you to beat it into submission, strangle it and then laugh at it when it's down.   By the way, do you want some Chinese herbal medicine for this?  I know some good doctors over here, who say that it doesn't effect chemo.  Ask your doctor; asking won't hurt. Cheers....

CEBU PART 1

We finally made it to Oslob, Cebu, Philippines. After an excellent trip to Halifax, Nova Scotia to see Brian, Mylene, Jacob, Allysia, and Matt, I flew to Toronto on WestJet to meet Carol for our Philippines Airline flight to Manila.  She took the train from Montreal, after spending time with Erin, Glenn, Norah, Leah, Jim (Dad) and Diane. The flight was uneventful, but at least they had movies.  I got stuck in a middle seat again.  Not great for the old back, but I think it was worse for the lady sitting next me to me in the aisle, as I woke her up or asked her to get by at least seven or eight times, LOL. After getting to the domestic airport at Manila, my pillow went missing.  The cleaners and security helped us look for it. One security guard found it.  We thought it had been stolen, but it was under a chair... Our flight from Manila to Cebu was upgraded to Premium Economy, so we got more food & drinks, as well as priority to get off the plane first....
