FedEx delays

I had trusted FedEx, but
* in mid-February, a document sent from here to Tokyo by the fastest flight ( 2 days ) stopped in Anchorage, Alaska for a long time and was delivered a week late.
* Then a document from Tokyo, scheduled for delivery on March 10, was delivered on March 28. ( The condition of the envelope was black and stained on one side, and the printed FedEx letters
appeared to have been rubbed off somewhere to the point of being erased. )

The reason seems to be weather, but ( I have not been able to get a clear explanation )
It may be true that the cold February flights to Japan had no choice but to stop in Anchorage, but most flights from Japan in March were stuck in Memphis.

The flight to Japan in March was mostly stranded in Memphis. We happened to encounter this kind of situation twice, which made us feel uneasy about FedEx.
So I was wondering if this kind of thing happens more often than expected and would like to hear about your experiences.
I have been using this method of mailing with no problems at all, so I am very troubled.
Thank you very much.

Also, since I needed to send it back immediately, I asked for Kuroneko Yamato TA-Q-BIN, which does not offer a 2-day delivery service, but it was delivered safely within a week as scheduled.

Hello.
My family is coming from Japan.
I'm bringing my SIM free iPhone and I'm wondering if I should buy a SIM card or rent a WiFi router after I come to Hawaii.
When I came last year, I went to AT&T to buy a SIM card and it cost me $ 55 …
My sister is staying for 1 week and my parents for 2 weeks, and I just need to be able to use LINE and web search. We don't need a phone number, especially not a Hawaii phone number.
If anyone knows of a good and affordable SIM card, please let me know !.

Since you said you have an iphone, we assume you will be using it and only pay the monthly fee. However, if you leave it unused, it will automatically continue every month. $ 7 is only for 1G of data and 100 minutes of talk time, and does not include the SIM itself. You will get a Hawaii 808 phone number. If you don't make calls, it's $ 6/m for 1G (No minutes) and $ 10/m for 2G.

By bone grafting, you mean bone grafting ?

I also had an implant treatment here a few years ago.
I thought I was only going to have an implant, but I was told that the bone of the foundation was thinning and that an implant could not be placed as it was.
There was no significant swelling or pain after the surgery. Of course, I was prescribed painkillers, but I only took one dose and did not take any after that because I had no pain. Anyway, I thoroughly followed the postoperative instructions, such as taking care of the affected area and not biting with strong force. I was rather more scared during the surgery than after. Both the osteogenesis and implant surgery were done under local anesthesia, so I could hear the sound of bone powder being placed during the osteogenesis surgery and the sound of the machine cutting the bone during the implant surgery.
If you request the optional intravenous anesthesia, it will be done while you are asleep, so you will not be scared by the sound.
When I told the surgeon that I was afraid of the noise during the surgery, he suggested that I could have the surgery while listening to music with headphones, but unfortunately, I did not have noise-canceling or other high-performance headphones. Unfortunately, I did not have noise-canceling or other high-performance headphones, so both surgeries were performed under local anesthesia and without headphones.

I hope your surgery goes well.
I have completed both my osteogenesis and implants and am living comfortably.

Dear Implant

Thank you for the details. I am a little relieved to hear that there was no major pain or swelling. Of course it depends on the individual condition, but I was afraid because there were many stories on the internet that it was very difficult. I am going to have a tooth extraction and then in 3 months I will have an osteogenesis surgery. I am nervous, but I will try to keep my mind calm. The sound thing was also very helpful. It is the back tooth of the upper jaw, so it is closest to my ear.
I will ask my doctor about the method to finish the surgery while I am sleeping with intravenous anesthesia next time I have a tooth extraction !

Thank you so much for your help.

As you may know, the location was changed to the entrance of the restroom on the Michael Course side.

Thank you for your valuable information !
I went for the test today. I checked with the person in charge and I don't know if this is a routine response, but he told me that I would get the results in 24-48 hours. Since tomorrow is Easter Sunday, I asked if the time required would vary greatly depending on whether the lab was operating or not, and they replied that it was.
Just knowing that last week's results came out in about 21 hours makes me feel a little more comfortable waiting.

Thank you very much !

By the way, when we took the test at Ala Moana, there was no one else taking the test but us and it was a rattle.

there may have been a system failure that prevented you from logging in.

If anyone has recently had a PCR done at Nomi in Ala Moana, could you please let me know how long it takes to get the results?

I was going to check the hours on the website and I know they are closed on Sundays, but is the Ala Moana testing center now closed on Saturdays as well ?
I was unable to select Saturday and Sunday on the calendar when making an appointment. I was getting worried because I thought that going for an exam on a Saturday would be ideal.
I checked other inspection sites and it seems that Waikele does it on Saturdays and Sundays, so I am wondering if I have no choice but to go to Waikele...but I would like to take it in Honolulu if possible.

Please let me know if you know of any other free PCR testing sites in Honolulu for people returning to Japan.
Thank you very much.

Dear PCR test
For your information, since it seems to be difficult to get a response. After I posted this topic, until recently, I have received DMs from several people asking "I also took the test at Flea Health, but the test result is not available in time for my flight. It seems that Japan's border control measures will be abolished on May 8, so we have to be patient for a little while longer.

About a year ago,

I don't know which vaccine you need, but in my case, I needed an additional tetanus vaccine.
I got it at Long's and it was covered by my insurance.
If you go to the Longs website and enter your date of birth, you can see a list of which vaccines are available at which Longs.
There were about 10 vaccines available at Long's.

However, at the Longs near my house, I had to make an appointment.

Mr. G.

Does it change that much in a year ?
so I did some research.
Then I found a site where I could find out how much at a nearby store.

https://www.goodrx.com/tdap

This shows that even Long's is $ 56.
I'm puzzled that Cosco is $ 75...

It says that the price is without insurance.
Maybe the price of the vaccine is $ 56, and the fee or injection fee ?

doctor will charge a doctor visit, so in any case, I think the drugstore is cheaper.
