6:25 am Fort Smith-->Dallas
Deep and thick fogs could keep the airplane from leaving the ground, and indeed the flight attendant was talking with one of the passengers that she was told this flight was going to be canceled last night. The 10 o’clock flight, the one just after this, was canceled, in stead. Lucky me.
It is 6:25am and I am on my way to 14 days South East Asia trip. I will be visiting 3 countries in 14 days. Temperatures will be from 30F (-2C) in Beijing to 80F (35C) in Bangkok, Ho Chi Minh City, and Hong Kong. Packing was not that easy for this trip at all. As always, my suitcases were over weight, but not that bad. Bid black Samsonite weighted 65 pound, and the penalty was only $25.
Fort Smith has been suffering from ice storm and heavy rain since yesterday. It was so dark with black clouds when I left for the airport and could not see anything but darkness above my head. This airplane is flying over that dark, mean-looking sky, and it is very interesting that there we can see beautiful stars and the moon from the airplane window.
Antonela is in 18th week pregnant this week. It was not easy for her to go through the first trimester in December with vomiting, tiredness, and more sickness. She seems to be much better compared to the condition in a few weeks ago, and I am so glad that she is feeling better and better. We went to see the doctor on Thursday, January 11th, but could not find if it is a boy or a girl. To be very ho0nest, I do not care the gender, and both of us will be very happy if the baby is going to be very strong and healthy.
