I’ll fly away

Heading back to the USA this morning.  Have a meeting in DC next week, then I’ll take care of some personal business, spend a few days visiting family in South Carolina, and fly back home to Korea on the 21st.

Adding to my list of “lasts”, this will be my final TDY in the service of my Uncle Sam.  I’m happy about that for a variety of reasons, but I am really pissed about the way this trip is going down.  The trip is about 17 hours in the air.  In a cramped couch seat.  And that make me grouchy anyway.  But check out this itinerary:

Seoul to Narita (Japan) to Chicago to Washington (and the reverse coming back).  That adds 5+ hours to the trip assuming everything goes right.  It used to be you could catch a direct from Seoul to Dulles or in the alternative a direct to Atlanta with a short hop on to DC.  I hate the layover in Japan and I dislike flying on United (Korean Air has spoiled me).

Oh well, I guess the old saw about the man who was upset with his flight schedule until he met a man with no wings should give me some perspective.

Nah, it still sucks.

See y’all on the other side.
