Alex and Giles do (what was supposed to be) a brief trip to Osaka and Kojima

    - I think you may need to forget about trying to use Kansai with the bridge situation and airport flooding…

Oh my god. Stay safe fellas.

[Giles]

Tomorrow's flight cancelled.  Looking at other ways to get home….

[Matty123]

@Giles best of luck to you both.

possible to fly out from another airport instead?

[sabergirl]

Wow.  Stay safe, you two.  Might have to hunker down and wait it out?

[Madame Buttonfly]

My poor boys…

But they are safe and well, and have power and internet access, so we count our blessings - many people are having a truly desperate time.

Latest news is that they are booked on flight from Nagoya via Helsinki on Thursday, which will get them back home on Thursday evening - my fingers, toes etc. are crossed.

And it could have been far worse, I was considering making the trip with them...

Thanks for the update. While it must be stressful for them I’m sure they’re making the best of it.

[Jett129]

Glad to hear they’ve found a way to get home. Will be even happier when you post they’ve arrived.

Gee and I thought I've had travel delays. Best of luck to you both. The earlier shots looked great, so hopefully it was all worth it, Which I'm sure it was. Safe travels…

[Paul9221]

Get home safe, guys!

[sabergirl]

Thanks for the update @Madame Buttonfly !  I'm glad to hear they were able to get a flight.  I hope everything goes smoothly.

My heart goes out to all of our Japanese bretheren.  More than their fair share of scary weather this year.

[Giles]

Plan now is that we catch a Shinkansen to Nagoya, and fly out tomorrow.  We're going to make the best of it, Haraki will pop down from Tokyo and we will have a meal with him and Ken to discuss business - saves me/us going to LA again in near future…...

[Giles]

So…....Worked out how to get to Nagoya.  Walked to the local station - shut.  No taxi's.  Back at the hotel waiting for the shuttle bus to nearest open station.....
