Getting the bad luck out of the way

[Melrose Plant 1]

Well friends, I'm in Incheon Airport in Korea now. By all rights, I should have arrived in Hanoi three hours ago. But I didn't.

My first flight out of Des Moines was delayed by 1 1/2 hours, and despite SPRINTING all the way to the International terminal in Chicago, I missed my flight to Korea. There is only one per day. To complicate matters further, the flight on the next day was oversold, and they could only put me on standby. After making several trips back and forth between several terminals to talk with different airlines, the best I could do was fly to JFK in New York and fly to Korea from there.

Now, I've got a 16 hour layover here in Korea, and I will arrive in Hanoi 24 hours late anyway, but at least I will get there.

I knew something would go wrong on this trip, and it happened very early. I hope the bad luck is over with now, and there will be none left over for the interview. On a brighter note, Mai received Packet 4 in the mail yesterday, so there won't be any problem with that.

Hopefully good will come out of the bad string of luck that you had with your flight when you both have that pink slip in hand. My prayers are with you.

Good luck

Best of luck there, buddy. Now go get the PINK!

I just scheduled my flight to VN too, but I won't get there until late 31st. I'll be cheering for both of you!

Best of luck with the interview!!

"Bring in this coupon to Hertz and receive a FREE upgrade to a white Ford Bronco!"

Really nothing too clever. I'm sure many people will think of a Bronco joke.

It should be Visa related I think.

How about (as they pass at the airport) "Hey, Melrose Plant, if Marc Ellis lets you down you should get Robert Shapiro or Barry Scheck"! They worked wonders on my case"! Johnny Cochran is dead or I would include him.

All right folks, I made it here OK, and boy am I tired. I've spent a lot of time travelling around the metro area visting family, and the rest of the time eating (for I am far too thin, you see).

We're flying to HCM Monday. I hope everything goes well. It's been nice not to think about the case for a few days. We'll keep you posted.
