Yeah. It's been a long 15 hours. No. Longer than that. 18 hours. We got to RIC and to our gate smoothly, That was great. Then we found out our flight was delayed 2.5h. Not Good. We got our DTW connection changed to a 7:10PM to AMS/2:10PM (Saturday) to MNL instead of the original 3:45 to MNL via NGO(Nagao, Japan), now arriving at our destiantion at 8:30 Sunday morning instead of the original 10:30PM Saturday night. We were also given meal vouchers for mthe airline in Richmond and ued them to grab lunch. LONG story short, the flight from RIC to DTW didn't end up taking off till 5PM (it was originally scheduled for 12:35 PM!) and we were pretty nervous about making our new 7:10PM connection. (fortunately there was a 9PM flight had we missed the 7:10)Our flight arrived at 6:30and we jsut made the 7:10 flight, as the gate was as close to the arriving gate as it could have been depite being in a different part of the terminal. YAY! The 8 Hour flight from DTW to here (AMS) was lovely and without incident. I was seated next to a very nice Romanian gentleman and we got along really well, which was good in the cramped quarters. i was across the aisle from Scott though, so had to get his attention biy poking his arm when I could. I think i slept a couple hours, and i got to watch Wolverine (scott and i synced our video screens for this) and I Love You MAn (i did fall asleep during this) and the food was good. Also, wine and beer were free, so i had two litle bottles of white wine and soctt had one bottle of red and one Heineken with dinner. So, here we are in Amsterdam, and I am eagerly awaiting our flight to Manila, which boards in... 3.5 hours. The descent into AMS was so cool. I got kinda teary realizing i was seeing a new country for the first time. OOH! Scott jsut brought me a Coke Zero!
