Getting Clear to Hong Kong

Desperate times = desperate measures. Clara and I have been booked on a JAL flight to Hong Kong (code share flight no CI 9223) leaving from Haneda Airport tomorrow at 17.55 via Taipei. Under the normal course of events it would seem expensive. Right now, I'd mortgage the house to get out. Because it is not direct, we arrive just after 8am on Thursday. Due to the chaos (but not yet panic), whether we get there or not seems a bit of a lottery.

Sadly, Yuki has decided to stay put. It must be difficult for her with her family and the fact that Japan is her homeland, but my sole goal is to avoid Clara being exposed to excessive radiation. Difficult choice to leave Yuki, but Clara and I need to get out. Yuki has said she may follow us to Hong Kong in a few days time, if that will be possible by then.

Wish us the best. I'll try and update Facebook when possible.

you are an excellent father Kane. Ross and I are following your progress and the news every day with you, Yuki and Clara in mind. There are enough toxins in this world to battle then to fight with exploding nuclear reactors. Get your baby girl well clear of it! Lisa Edgar

It's like something from a disaster movie, really. Escape from Hong Kong.
