New Year's Day in Limbo

We brought in the New Year in a waiting lounge at Mactan International Airport. It wasn't supposed to be that way... I convinced myself that our flight left on Wednesday night, when in fact it left at 1am Wednesday morning — which would have been Tuesday night. At any rate, the best attempt at a cheer that I observed was the Christmas music being turned up for only a few seconds, followed by an announcement over the PA system "Thank you for flying with us, Happy New Year."  


Q had been sleeping since 10:45pm. She slept through the boarding procedure, throughout the 4 hour flight, and while we were getting off the plane. 


She finally woke up when the 28°F air hit her as we exited the airport terminal door at Incheon International Airport.  "Mama, it's cold," she murmurred. 


Thanks to Asiana Airlines for comping us a room to rest in during our almost-thirteen hour layover. 


And now, if I can just sleep off this pounding headache, and NOT miss our connecting flight home. 

Happy New Year!
