Day 3: September 15, 2007 Saturday

This morning Brenda had a headache, so we left the hotel to walk across a busy road to the supermarket. When we arrived we found it to be an oriental store staffed by Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and Vietnamese employees. Everything was marked and labeled with oriental symbols.
It was a fascinating experience and I found many gifts I would have liked to buy, but I didn’t want to spend the money I had earmarked for Ireland. We returned to the hotel, ate breakfast, and then took a shuttle to the airport. Again, we waited and waited, but at least this time there was no chance of missing the flight.
Each time we went through security we were pulled aside for a special check. Someday they will have us walk through it naked and be done with it.

We did make the plane and had a long, but pleasant flight. We ate dinner, read, watched a movie and traced our progress on the monitor. We always knew where we were and how much farther to the destination.

There was some turbulence, but it was a fine flight nevertheless.
