Well, that was by far the WORST FLIGHT I HAVE EVER BEEN ON. and it had nothing to do with Cathay Pacific, who were fantastic as usual. And nothing to do with the other flyers around me — they were quiet & unobtrusive and hell, it was an overnight flight (well, local time… I suppose [...]

the downside of a 15 hour difference… nobody is online for me to bug. I’ve still got almost 3 hours to kill. damnit, people, don’t make me go spend money on shit I don’t need! (I plan on doing that on the way home anyway.) Oh, and in other news, “The Time Travellers Wife” is [...]
Woo!

So, a while ago I found myself somewhere important without condoms. I hate that. Of course, I restocked my usual shoulder bag immediately. Not much, just a couple of foil packages tossed to the bottom with the rest of the kludge of lipgloss, pens, knitting, wallet, book, sunglasses, deodorant… the usual. I’m a sexual girlscout, [...]

Ticket is being reissued now. Have been told that on the crazy off chance that they can’t get it to me in time, I can pick it up in the airport in Johannesburg. I really, really don’t want to do that, because the idea of being in Johannesburg with no guaranteed way of getting onto [...]

Things that are good: Having a friend who works for the company that you booked your Very Expensive flights through, who can tell you exactly what to expect with the snafu that is entirely not your fault, and even who to talk to if said Snafu is not un-snafu’ed in a reasonable amount of time, [...]
