wednesday, late afternoon. we're headed to seattle washington for labor day weekend. we arranged our travel such that we'd arrive in seattle at 11pm west-coast time ... just in time to meet up w/ our travel group. you see - dc (who was leaving from Boston) was scheduled to arrive at about 10:15pm and dips (who was leaving from newark, NJ) was scheduled to arrive at 10:40pm. as it turned out, dips got on an early flight, dc was on time, and well ... we had a HUGE stuggle in columbia we FINALLY got on our continental airlines flight. so here i am celebrating our late departure with a rum and coke (luckily, we packed a flask full of rum for the trip). next
