The 2009 webiste is up.

And the official blog.

LAX

As always, I was rushing to buy some last minute stuff (in this case a scrapbook for my adventures) and reached the airport 45 minutes later than I wanted to, only to realize that the flight was delayed by... 45 minutes! :) A long line at check-in forced me to become a British Airways club member via iphone. (I'm going to miss my baby!) I followed that by seducing the nice old man at the Club check-in counter and I cut through a hundred people atleast! :)

Last american meal of burgers and fries and diet coke at the daily grill. Took a walk through the duty free. Did not buy anything although the discounted sportsac looked tempting (till she said that she will have to deliver it to the gate -- i'm not carrying yet another bag.)

Breezed through security - although I did forget to take off my belt... had to walk through again. She found something suspecting in my handbag and put on some nylon gloves and digged around only to find little notebooks! (What a nerd I am!) And forgot my belt and walked on to the gate... and walked back when I felt my jeans slipping down!

Sitting at Gate 103. The crew went in about 10 minutes ago. They are boarding peple with kids or disabilities. [Makes me wonder whether kids are considered a disability???] Patiently waiting for my turn making use of my t-mobile hotspot! I have the emergency exit seat. More leg room! More fun! As long as my aeroplane crosses the atlantic -- I'm good!

Next post - Heathrow!
