Oh dear. So much for a short trip.

i've experienced the most devastating typhoon (Ondoy) back in 09 on a missionary trip in a rural village in the Philippines, it was pretty devastating as we were stuck and it was felt bad leaving after seeing the devastation it left behind. it was worse for the people that actually lived there. japan's infrastructure should fare better than the Philippines but nonetheless, stay safe and indoors.

    - I think you may need to forget about trying to use Kansai with the bridge situation and airport flooding…

[Giles]

[Matty123]

possible to fly out from another airport instead?

[sabergirl]

Wow.  Stay safe, you two.  Might have to hunker down and wait it out?

[Madame Buttonfly]

My poor boys…

But they are safe and well, and have power and internet access, so we count our blessings - many people are having a truly desperate time.

Latest news is that they are booked on flight from Nagoya via Helsinki on Thursday, which will get them back home on Thursday evening - my fingers, toes etc. are crossed.

And it could have been far worse, I was considering making the trip with them...

Thanks for the update. While it must be stressful for them I’m sure they’re making the best of it.

[Jett129]

Glad to hear they’ve found a way to get home. Will be even happier when you post they’ve arrived.

[ROman]

Gee and I thought I've had travel delays. Best of luck to you both. The earlier shots looked great, so hopefully it was all worth it, Which I'm sure it was. Safe travels…

Get home safe, guys!
