A comedy of errors

First entry not composed in DFW – from the floor in terminal E4 of Atlanta International. Not quite as exotic as you might be hoping for, but a sure sign none the less that the adventure is underway!
We started off bright and early this morning. Our flight was scheduled to leave DFW at 10:50 a.m, but Bill had suggested we arrive no later than 8:15. We were able to check our luggage all the way through, since we’re on Delta all the way to Moscow, so I was glad we did get there early. Plus, they stop accepting ticketing and taking checked baggage at 9:30. Our first worry began when Mark was running a little behind, but he beat the 9:30 mark and all was looking well. Then, we got the next bad news – Ora wasn’t coming with us. Here Visa (which she just received on Friday) was wrong. She’d have to wait a day and meet us in Irkutsk. Thankfully, it turned out the ticket agent had just looked at the wrong Visa (we have two in our passports because of a mix up on the invitation letter), and all was well. Ora got re-ticketed, checked, and we were good to go!
So, just killing time now at the airport until the next leg of our journey begins. We take off at 3:50, and after a short 10 or so hours will arrive in Moscow.
Wonder if they have wireless internet in the airport there... :)
