Yesterday at the laundromat I was reading the paper when I saw an item saying that Northwest Airlines was offering a very restricted flight to Japan for $150! I got excited. After all, Wakana is bored and stuck there for a while. This was my opportunity to go visit for a couple of weeks. My truck was sold earlier that day and I had no other pressing need to stay in Guam.

When I got home I tried to call Wakana but she wasn't home from Tokyo yet. I fretted for the rest of the day and then she called me back. I wanted to be sure my plans didn't conflict with hers. She got excited when I told her of the flight. After I hung up I called the number given in the paper.

Northwest Airlines had no idea what I was talking about. A round trip flight to Japan is $400+ and that is that. I cannot find anything on the internet. I am so disappointed. Wakana will be disappointed. But I am not done yet. Later this morning I will call a travel agent and see what she knows. And I'll call the local Northwest office. I am not done yet.
