This is so going to be a long one. How I wish we could have some entertainment while on the road like some Direct Satellite TV. All we have is the car stereo, an MP4, and a laptop. Direct TV would be the best solution while we guys are far away from home. No wonder there are more than 18 million subscribers here in the United States of America. And oh, we are gonna be leaving 1am on the 21st so this is surely going to be looked forward to! In the meantime, I’m going to ask about the availability of a Satellite Directv when we are out on the road during travel. I sure need to have some eye-opener to keep dad company!
My sister actually brought herself a book – the famous Twilight! Oh c’mon, I’d rather be watching some high quality movies online or yet the latest news for this coming holidays than be tinkering on a book!
We’re finally here!

It was 13 years ago that Dad left for the States. I was so young then. But I always knew I had a father who is working far away so he could provide us our daily needs, good education, and a good future. And he has been home four times during those long years.
1. Spend my birthday with him. He was able to make sure he was at my birthday during those visits he made. He even attended some recognition days where he gets the honor of placing the medal ’round my neck! ^_^
2. Have a family vacation to Manila. This one we were able to spend a week I guess (I can’t remember much of it now..) doing the typical things a family would do in a mall.. fun.fun.fun.shop.shop.shop! and a whole lot of eating!
3. Be with my dad for the longest time – as a family forever. Here where he is.
McCarran Airport upon arrival. Last picture I took. And the only one that is allowed in this area.

I’ll finally get my dream come true though – partly! And that’s seeing dad for the first time after 6 YEARS!
All our bags are packed indeed. Days ago. After surviving the typhoon Ondoy, (and hopefully surviving another typhoon that’s closing in the Philippines) we could now partly breathe. Emotions are flooding me! A few hours from now we would be departing. And a few hours from now, I’m like five thousand miles away.
So here we are all ready. We were like 6 hours ahead just some safety precautions because the weather is unstable right now – we might get stuck in traffic, or worse, stuck in flood.
Lining up to have our stuffs in.

Now waiting for our time to board the plane. Here are the tickets. We have to wait for like almost an hour here…
Our flight is scheduled to stop over at Korea. So here we are, stuck at Korea! Picture moments for keepsakes!
But before we head on, we had to take some meals at Burger King. I find it weird that the Korean currency is somewhat “scary” at first. I only had about 100 bucks in my wallet and all I see are 3,000 and more! To my surprise, I should have researched this one:
1 US Dollar = 1,170.00 South-Korean Won as of October 5, 2009

So this is the entry to the plane from the boarding section. In a few moments, we will be sitting in for 11 hours. And just about time to see my dad…can’t wait!

Here’s the interior of Korean Airlines:

Flight resumes…next stop – Las Vegas!
