Here’s what I typed while waiting in Narita airport:
We’re sitting in the Tokyo/Narita airport, waiting for news…
Here’s what happened today:
1. we flew out of DFW at about 10 am on an American flight – not United as originally planned.
2. we landed in Narita at about 1:00 pm local time and discovered that the tickets we had for our connection to Beijing were for the wrong day.
3. We’ve been sitting in Narita for 2.5 hours. It looks like we’ll fly out at 7 pm tonight, get to Beijing late, and make our flight to Ulan Baatar…
The team is handling all this well. It seems like a really good group of people.
Ok, it’s 6:30 local time and we’re still here. Our flight was delayed until 9:00 PM.
The girls are doing ok, they’re just tired. As I’m sure you can imagine…
We spend the night in Beijing, then fly to Ulan Baatar. Once we leave the ground here tonight, everything should be back on schedule. Cue the scary music.
