Well, here we are ... in the unique situation of flying in an aircraft with 2/3 of the seats empty. We always sit in aisle seats opposite each other. Easy access to bathrooms and at least one shoulder not jamed against another passenger.

Maybe North Korean missile threats have scared people off. We have 10.5 hours to Seoul, 4 hours on ground and then 13.5 hours to Amsterdam.

What a coincidence, Angie was also flying out for the U.S. and Europe at the same time 9:30. We met up for breakfast near the boarding gates. The conversation much superior to the breakfast. Angie and i went to the same primary school. We hope she has a great trip.

That's it for now. Just wanted to get the show on the road.
