Finally made it back home to Hawaii from the Philippines, 19hrs later...
Actually the flight was only about 10hrs long, but when you add in the 5 hours that we came early to the airport prior to our flight (which was a good thing that we did because of the 3hr long line we waited in), plus the 2.5hr delay and then immigration, customs, baggage, etc., it all adds up.
I'm already missing the Philippines but it also feels good to be in the comfort of your own home...and in time to celebrate the New Year in Hawaii!
