After a final day of work on Wednesday the 28th, we had our final dinner with our new friends. Margaret, Naomi, and Theresa joined us for dinner at Serano's, an excellent Italian restaurant at the Ohana Bayview Hotel. (I highly recommend dinner there, the food and service were first class, and it was not expensive at all!)

We finished about 9, and since we had to leave for the airport by 2 a.m. for a 4:30 flight, we decided to stay up and pack. We arrived at the airport with time to spare. We were kind of uncomfortable waiting at the gate, because there were a LOT of people sneezing and sniffing, a few even had face masks on. We had seen several episodes about "Killer Flu: Avian Influenza" on Discovery Channel. (There were only 5 english-language channels on TV at our hotel, so we saw a LOT of Discovery Channel specials!) CJ and I both popped an Airborne tablet and drank some green tea and crossed our fingers.

I have to say a very grateful THANK YOU to Japan Airlnes! Yes, they lost my luggage, but it was delivered on the next flight to Guam the day after we arrived. They brought it to our hotel, and I also received $50 toward the replacement clothes I had to purchase to wear to work the first day. On our flight to Tokyo/Narita, we were upgraded to FIRST CLASS, much to our suprise! It was nice to be able to recline and sleep on the way. I will definitely fly JAL again, it is nice to know that customer service is still practiced by some airlines. The flight attendants even found a cheese and cracker snack for me, instead of the sushi box everyone else ate--THANK YOU JAPAN AIRLINES!!!
