Delays, delays, delays...

Another first for me...sleeping in an airport. Well, sleeping is not really occuring at the moment.  We arrived at Hanoi airport on to e for our flight to Seoul.  I had it all planned out: transit hotel was arranged for our layover in Seoul. The layover was for 13 hours, so having a room at the transit hotel would be wonderful.  Jim and I each had a room reserved and it was being comp'ed since we were on a medical mission (normally it is a $134 fee). I had my bag equipped with a change of clothes and various asundries to make my stay quite pleasant.  So much for plans.  I am in my same clothes from yesterday afternoon, so I must look like a typical weary traveller.

I atill haven't heard IF our tickets were re-booked to Seoul, but a girl can hope.  If the flight comes off as scheduled, we should arrive in Seoul at 4:30 pm with our connection occuring at 6:40pm.  It is an 11 hour flight to Seattle, so I plan to pop some pills (benedryl) to help me sleep.  

Asiana Airlines brought us up to the "business lounge" to rest, but, one hour later,  all the lights came on, so it was wake up time for us.  There was so much confusion with this flight cancellation.  The ticket agents told us that we would go to a hotel and be brought back to the airport for our flight. The problem was, the hotels were back in Hanoi, which is an hour away. A few of us opted to stay here, as we would barely just arrive at the hotel, then have to come back to the airport.  There was one ticket agent to help about 10 of us get new flights, and they just didn't seem to know what to do.

We can only hope to get home and soon.  I am so ready to get on the plane.  I am getting so grumpy.  There is a group next to me laughing and giggling and I am about to scream, but I am maintaining, so far. I don't feel like laughing right now.

I hope to blog from Seoul later, and if so, hopefully be in a better mood. 

Jim is happy too...NOT!
