Randy’s Travels to Hanoi

Wow…. the flight from Atlanta to San Francisco was uneventful until the approach into SFO. ugh… It was a VERY windy afternoon and that made for … umm… “an interesting landing”!

My layover in San Francisco is long (5 hours) and unfortunately I am not able to stay in one spot while I wait for my third flight of the day/night/trip. Currently I am trying to get the most of my one day Crown Room pass but the room closes at 10:30pm and my flight does not leave until 1:30am. No big deal but I am getting quite used to this fancy room and wish I would stay here longer!

I also discovered that I have to get a new boarding pass for the flight to Taipei. Dunno why this is but I was told by security that my Delta boarding pass was not good enough to let me through the gate. *shrug* One other note is that the currency exchange folks do not offer Vietnam Dồng . Not a big deal but I something I wish I could take care of here so that I would not have to make another stop at the airport counters in Hanoi.

Update: It is now Sunday, April 20th at 12:30am PT, 3:30am ET, and 4:30pm in Hanoi. Soon I will be boarding a 747 for the 14 hour flight to Taipei. I am hoping for an uneventful flight where I can get some much needed rest. I have a few hours in Taiwan and will blog from China providing I can hop on a wireless network.
