Flight (São Paulo – Detroit – Nagoya – Manila)

#ibmcsc philippines 14

1st part – São Paulo to Detroit (10 hours) – I have been working so much in the past weeks to close all my things and leave as much as I could organized at home and work, that I was so tired. So this flight was easy! I slept most of  the 10 hours.

Stoopover in Detroit –  I spent 8 hours in Detroit airport and it was such a nice experience. I mean It wasa lot best than I could imagine.

2nd part – Detroit to Nagoya (12hours)

What a surprise when I was boarding to Delta flight 629, the flight attendant start talking in Tagalog. And the best I understood – Maraming salamat = Thank you very much! This is because this flight is heading to Manila with a stopover in Nagoia.

I was fortunate to meet Ruthy a nice Filipina-Canadian who whas flying back home. She kindly gave me a lot of good information about her home country and helped me on our arrival to PH.

3rd part Nagoya to Manila (4 hours)  The easiest flight. At this point I was so used to sleep, I kind of slept all the flight long.

Arrival to Manila at 22:00 on the 14th July – terminal 1.

I was very well welcome! At the customs, none even bother asking me for how long I would stay here, since Brazilians don`t need visa for until 59 days. I just pick up my luggage. Exchange my money at the most right exchange store I think it was Bank of commerce. Then I leave the airport. After cross the street there were the Remington hotel free shuttle waiting for me. This was Waya great advise! Thank you!

Tip for travelers:  in Philippines you cannot go back once you pass through the gates. Bellow there is the airport terminal 1 map for you visualize. So you better go to the toillete before pick up luggage, and then exchange your money as soon as you pick your luggage.

Nem sempre rola pegar o caminho mais curto para chegar aonde queremos, e o meu definitivamente não foi o mais curto! Mas foi uma aventura e tanto.
