Somewhere Over The Pacific

As this is written, the team is flying over the Pacific ocean on a full Boeing 747-400 bound for Narita International in Japan. The flight will take an estimated 10 hours and 40 minutes, which is ahead of schedule. We have been treated to two above-average meals and will be watching a total of two movies plus documentaries and a few film shorts. Dr. Halstead and our friend, Chi, helped us to the airport earlier this morning, and Dr. Halstead met one of his friends there. That man has been working with Grace Community to teach ESL to Thai students. Now he is taking upwards of 130 students with him to Thailand to learn there. Oddly enough, we all are sharing the same flight, but they will continue to Bangkok after a short stop in Japan, where we will depart.
