Reg and Eph's Arrival

We had a dilemma on how to go about picking up Reggie and Eph from the airport. Reggie arrives I think at around 10 pm Dec 21 and Eph at about 5:30 the morning after through PAL. So we had my in-laws pick up Reggie and we’ll pick up Eph.

There was a slight confusion with Reggie’s arrival. He was not aware that arriving passengers at the Manila airport have to go all the way out to the street for people to see him. It took a while to figure that out. Once he’s out he still waited for a while longer. My father-in-law was walking back and forth looking for him. Reggie saw him and said, “Lolo, it’s me Reg!” But it was late at night and he hasn’t seen him in a long time and he just kept walking. Reggie had to tug on my father-in-law’s arm for him to finally see him. They arrived at the house at almost 2 already. So Donna and I didn’t have a lot of sleep since we had to leave like 4:30 to pick up Eph. We picked Donna’s niece, Len, up on the way so she can navigate me to the airport. We got there on time but his flight got delayed in Guam. I just waited in the car and went to sleep while Len and Donna went to the terminal to look for him. This, by the way, is the PAL terminal which, it turned out, is different from the main Ninoy Aquino International Airport terminal. Donna saw Tonette’s sister Ate Claire who was in there to pick up their brother Senen from Sacramento. He was actually in the same flight with Eph. So Eph finally came and I think they got delayed about an hour or so.

We arrived at the house and for the first time in about 6 years or so our family is once again complete!
