[Matty123]

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?

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.

[ROman]

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.

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.....

An estimated 3000 have been trapped at Kansai terminal. No flights for a week apparently… https://www.theguardian.com/world/2018/sep/05/typhoon-jebi-thousands-stranded-at-island-airport-in-japan
