I is be home!

Howdy y'all,

I'm more then a bit late getting this out. Got busy talking with the folks.

I landed at DFW on Monday May 5th at 8:20pm. Just 40min over-due. Not too bad considering how far I had to come from Manila.

Save some thunderstorms around Tokyo, the flights were quite smooth.
The flight was delayed for nearly an hr from Tokyo due to an unexplained noise. Finally tracked it down to to the ventilation system for one of the rear toilets.
We were again delayed in Minneapolis due to traffic. I think we were number 14 in line for take off when we pulled away from the gate.

Customs at MSP went fairly smoothly despite a paranoid CBP agent wanting an explanation as to why I would bring native artifacts home. Fortunately, the other officer, who I suspect carried more clout, wasn't the least bit worried and even helped me tape the box back up.

Both of my boxes and even the 4, 6ft poles arrive with me. I was please to not have to deal with lost luggage.

My family was there to meet me when I got off the flight. Stopped by the Grandparents on the way home.

After a bit of sleep, I'm starting to get adjusted to the 13hr time difference.
Now to get all the pictures sorted and online...

Y'all take care and God bless!
Nathan
