Long story, short:
Good flight from JFK to DTW.
Good fight from DTW to NGO - all 13 hours of it.
We ended up sitting in the plane for almost an hour after we landed in Nagoya in order for the local health officials to come aboard the plane, collect the health questionnaires we had to fill out, and then use a thermogenic(?) camera to scan everyone on the plane to see who might be running a fever. -And, yes, some people did "light up" in the camera, so... The next leg of my flight ended up leaving about hour later than schedule.
Good flight from NGO to MNL. -Although, I do wish I had heard less chatter from the American man sitting behind me who was going to Manila to meet his mail-order - well, internet-order - bride. Hmm... But at least he did give the name of the website he used to everyone around him.

It took me about another hour after landing to go through immigration, baggage claim (of course, mine was one of the last bags off the plane), and customs. I, thankfully, read the signs that indicated where to meet "family and loved ones" - "A-L" to the left, "M-Z" to the right. I saw my mom as soon as I came down the ramp...
Whew!
