Air Travel During the COVID-19 Pandemic

I am very thankful to our Open iT fam and church fam who helped us go home safely.We had a nice trip back to the Philippines after several flight cancellations.
Qatar airlines provided protective kits - with a face mask, pair of latex gloves, packet of hand sanitizer and especially the face shield which we had to wear all throughout the flight and at the airport-everywhere.

We had to wait in line for PCR test but that was expected. They had a glitch so instead of filling out the form from the web, we had to fill out the form manually. After that we went to the hotel van waiting for us.
We got the PCR Result the next day and we both got negative results. We got the certifications printed out by the hotel staff.
During the transfer back to Lucena, we didn't have to stop at any check points. Thanks to Mike and Kei for sharing the load of coordination and taking care of us
Jesse made calls to the barangay and a health rep. visited us the next day to get our information and provide forms for monitoring any symptom for the period of 2 weeks.
Francis
arranged for our food supply and other stuff to last us the whole 2 week voluntary quarantine period.
We are blessed with people who extend their blessings to others. To God be the glory.
Thank you Eistein our company Founder who wanted to share his blessings at a wider scope so instead of continuously working for his former company he founded his own.

Lucena|Tayabas, Quezon - Back Home

    Jesse celebrated his 22 d spiritual birthday this year -February 8th- and this year was truly extraordinary for everyone. This year we were supposed to have a <3 month training in the Norway company and the flights have been moved several times due to several reasons including the Taal Volcano eruption and the pandemic. Anyway , it turned out that we will have to stay for 6 months because of airport restrictions around the world. There were a lot of things that we were not made ready for this year however , I think that there have been many learning times and realizations during this special times.
