No matter how you feel about the results of the election, let us not forget that our Lord and savior still controls all. Praised Jesus in all!
What to do the day after the U.S. Elections
Same business trip, different country.
Well it’s been about 8 months but I am back in the air. Part of the reason for coming back to the States was to travel less and be with the family more. Here are some texts during the two day trip.
2:44 am – Hi. I am going to get ready to leave now. Everyone is still sleeping. Love you.
3:15 am – in the name of Jesus as I stand in front of my girls as they sleep, I pray that the Holy Spirit bless them with a father that loves you, lives to please you and follow wherever you lead me.
3:40 – hi. I’m now at the groome a transportation waiting for my shuttle to Atlanta. love you.
4:07 am – Hi girls. I’m now in the shuttle heading to Atlanta now. love you.
5:15 am – Hello again. 😊 I’m at the airport now in line for security. love you.
7:00 am – Hi girls. I’m in the plane now and have to shut off phone. I’ll turn it on again around 9 am and will call you when you girls get home from school. love you. God bless you.
10:05 am – Hi. I’m now at Washington waiting for my shuttle to take me to the airport. The airport in Washington first really look nice. The airport on Guam is nicer. love you.
I took this picture around mid afternoon and it was just something that moved me. As I was siting in the park waiting for my hotel shuttle, I overheard a little boy wanting to play catch with his dad. I hear the dad agree and soon afterwards I hear the sound of a football traveling in the air. I look up and my jaw when I saw the”dad” who was throwing the ball. It was an old man around hi late 50’s and he was wearing suit. Now mind you, this wasn’t a cheap suit you can get for for $100.00. This was a high quality suit. It warmed my heart to see a dad take time out of their busy schedule to put a smile on his sons face. I guarantee that’s it will be dry-cleaned by the end of the week.
Day 2
7:49 am – Good morning girls. I heard you all enjoyed Zootopia. I wish I had a chance to watch with everyone. Mom said she was so tired and went to sleep in the movie theater. Lol. Well, I am dressed up and going to get breakfast. My day start at 8:45 and will end around 5:00 pm. Hey, the college I went to Seton Hall made it to their conference finals… I AM SO HAPPY FOR THIS! Have a great day…love you…God bless you…and I’ll call during lunch time.
Needless to say that my family is on my mind always. God bless us all! Till next time.
Gods Timing Is Always On Time.
The world tells me that it is impossible. The world tells me what’s in my heart is unrealistic. The world tells me I am setting myself up for failure. The world simply sees my situation thru the paradigm of earth.
I see it otherwise. I am a child of God. I serve a just God. I search for my God who works in the supernatural. When Victory and blessing is ours, it will be evident it is because the Lord entered on our behalf. All will see that it is only thru God that the far fetched has come true. This will be a testimony of faith to all who see my Victory.
What is a victory in your life that is obviously obtained because God stepped in?
Pray for all our brothers and sisters in Christ.
24 hour journey from Manila to Atlanta 11/20/13
Delta airlines Manila to Atlanta via Tokyo 5/20/13
*Note entry was wrttien on an ipad. Please forgive any grammar or spelling words*
Any blog entry that deals with travel leaving Manila has to start with the hideous facility that they call NAIA terminal 1. I understand that construction is ongoing and the Philippines is trying to get the terminal on par. BUT when international travelers pass by terminal 2 and 3 and see how much of a better shape they are, international travelers feel as if we are unwanted. Please fix this soon!
It took us 25 minuets just to enter the terminal. As we approached the front entrance we were greeted by the first of 3 metal detectors. Checking in with delta would have been a nightmare if it wasn’t for the sky priority lane. Delta certainly does an excellent job taking care of its medallion members. I am grateful for that. Fast forward the “exit fee” counter where the name speaks for itself and the second metal detector and we are now at the delta sky club.
MANILA DELTA SKY CLUB
The club itself was decent and adequate. Furniture was a little dated but was comfortable and functional. The choices of food was as expected at any sky club; the local snacks and finger foods of the country you are in. Free food, drinks, and wifi make for a relaxing 45 minute stay before heading to our gate.
MANILA TO NARITA
Total flight time 3:40
Boarding and storing of bags was an ease being a gold medallion member. The boarding process in manila is always hectic as you always have a bunch of people surrounding the boarding gate just waiting to get in. Being a sky priority traveller allows you to board right after the business elite passengers.
A note to international flyers; Economy comfort makes all the difference when your on a coach flight. The added space really makes a difference.

Songs listened to:
French Montana – Freaks (edited)
Justin Timberlake – Suit and Tie
Meal on board:
NARITA DELTA SKY CLUB
Compared to Manila, NARITA international airport is heaven. It is a different aura here. It’s more inviting and comforting. The delta sky club is modern and has Mac workstations that are free for all to use. Again, the food is the cuisine of the country that you are in…so sushi it is! Wash it down with a glass of jack and I’m ready for the upcoming 12 hour flight to Atlanta
Before i forget, i want to start this entry by saying that the delta staff here in Narita is wonderful! everyone in the travel industry regardless of what company you work for should use the Delta crew here as an example on how to deliver excellence service.
NARITA to ATLANTA
Total flying time 11:52
Wow they certainly know how to pack a plane! I’ve never realized it until I started writing to blog; BEING A MEDALLION MEMBER MAKES A DIFFERENCE! Boarding the plane first and having your bags situated is a huge deal. I feel terrible for the people trying to board the plane now and are struggling to find a place for their bags.
With about 9:25 left in the flight, it has been a fairly bumpy ride with tail winds as high as 115 mph. At about 8:12 left in the flight, the tailwinds have decreased to 78 mph. Praying it will be smooth sailing from here on out.
Flight route was weird in that instead of flying over the Seattle or Vancouver area, we flew a more southern route and entered the continental US thru the San Francisco area. In case your wondering how I can possibly remember the routes taken, I have flown this exact route 14 times since July 2011.
