The trip to the US started Monday evening, 10 October, with a motorcycle taxi ride to the airport at supper time. The roads at that time are (1) jammed with traffic and (2) full of food vendors like these stalls selling roasted chickens, ducks, and fish.
It’s 10:48 PM Tuesday night in New York and I just arrived at Maryknoll. Follow this trip here starting tomorrow.
Monday evening I catch a 9:30 PM flight from Phnom Penh to Bangkok and then at 1:30 AM I fly from Bangkok to Shanghai on my way to the United States. I have a seven-hour layover in Shanghai (that’s LONG but it was $700 cheaper than the alternative!) and then fly from there non-stop to Newark, arriving Tuesday night at 6:30 PM there. I’ll be at Maryknoll, New York the rest of the week for a board meeting of the Maryknoll Lay Missioners. Then on Saturday night I’ll fly to Louisville, Kentucky for a family reunion.
