My God I am so sorry. I cannot even begin to imagine the nightmare.

Very sorry to hear that. What happened? Some muckup with visas or something?

Waiting for my COVID test result in the Narita Airport quarantine area.

Negative test result means I can enter the country and proceed with my business trip.

Positive test result means… quarantine hotel, then I assume sent home without completing my business here. And someone’s out several thousand dollars.

Travel is way more stressful than it was before.

I can't bring myself to bore you with it, but I wish it were that straightforward. It's down to total incompetence at every end other than my own, and immensely frustrating.

So sorry, FM AMWT. My stress waiting for a COVID test result pales in comparison.

Hope you’re somehow able to make the best of the situation.

I will watch the season premiere this weekend after returning from Japan.. no spoilers!

As tedious as audiophiles can be, I’m going to check out Axpona this weekend.
