Where in the World Is Alan: IX

Where in the World Is Alan: IX

My flight out of Sydney was 90 minutes late, I suspect because Qantas mechanics are once again using the public to strike back at management. The flight itself was fine. But Qantas, trying to help, cancelled my nonstop Boston ticket because they were afraid I’d miss the flight, and rebooked me through Chicago. Turns out, I could have made the original flight with 30 minutes to spare.

Chicago, of course, has weather problems. So, I’m sitting in the Admiral’s Club in O’Hare waiting for a scheduled 10:15 pm flight to Boston, but they don’t know if the crew will be here on time. As it is, I get into Boston at 1:20 am, then will have to see if my luggage made it, and if not I’ll have to take more time to file a claim.

With all of that, it’s been a great trip, the conclusion of five major events: Toronto, Boston, Palm Beach, Newport, and Australia (Melbourne and Sydney). I’m happy and grateful all worked out so well, and I’ll be relieved when we have wheels up tonight.

Ten day, 20,000 miles or so, 80 people, excellent business.
