Did you just get all Indian?
-Me
It took a while to come around.
-Beau, who had just dropped
litter on the train car floor
Baby! Don't get like this right
before you come back to my house!

We made it through a 7-hour train ride, a flight that involved going through exactly 5 security checks (sadly, I'm not joking), and even made it through customs. We managed to do this entire trip without paying for a single checked bag. All was going well.
I am sitting in a bar at Sea-Tac, nursing a dirty martini and shooting dirty looks at what was supposed to be our gate. Our flight to Anchorage has been delayed by many hours due to a broken plane. This will cause us to miss our connecting flight to Fairbanks. I'm uncertain as to when Beau, his new sitar and I will be able to arrive at home.
At least there's free WiFi.

Ah. Well, you can pass the time thinking about how I'm only a three-hour drive away from you. So painfully close.
The first leg of my flight from LAX-Bangkok got delayed, forcing me to spend several sleepless hours in a Taipei hotel, then eat my Bangkok-Hanoi ticket, spend a night in an overpriced Bangkok fleabag near the airport, and pay $120 for a new ticket. So yeah, flying sucks. But my bike isn't broken!
