One good trip deserves another

In less than two weeks we depart (again) for the land of the rising sun.

Our vacation was cast into doubt when Japan airlines announced over Christmas that it had almost run out of money. It had money, it said; but the money seemed to be gone. They were rather embarassed.

Fortunately for us, the Japanese government has stepped in to guarantee loans and keep JAL flying. So for now it seems that the airline will have enough money to continue until we get over there.

They might even have enough to get us home.
