After a quick breakfast Frank Jr took me to the airport- Thursday Feb3rd. What a beautiful day in LA. Sunny, cool ahhh another day in paradise. Korean Air was on time and efficient - a big Boeing777-300. Of course with a 13 hour flight the crew had plenty of time to do whatever they needed to do. We were watered and fed regularly throughout the flight and I enjoyed a Korean lunch - bimboboc or something like that. I have two new best friends- Jin, a 25 yr old from Seoul and Carmita a Philippine-American from San Bernadino.
Met up with Lorna, Pat, John David, Blake and Chris at Gate 30. We had a "quick" 3hr flight to Manila and met the rest of the medical group at baggage claim. The Hotel Dusit Thani is very nice. We checked in and met in Lorna and Pat's room for a snack. My body is totally confused about what day or time it is. It is a good thing that we have Saturday, February 5th to reset our body clocks. Frank will be happy to know that all of the shops are happy to accept our credit cards and there are lots of places to shop! : )

Wall Street journal had a story in the weekend journal about a noted uptick in merchant sales in Manila. Does this transform the trip from a medical mission to an economic stimulus mission?
