Hi Mele,                                                               17 June 1999

Well, here's my first post from a cyber cafe. I'm at a place called comms.port in London. This is an internet access place inside of a cafe.  Anyway, here goes: ;-)

Hello Muddah, Hello Faddah,

Here I am at camp LAMBERT!!!  (AKA Lambert field, St. Louis Airport)   I got in at 6:55 am and was prepared to head for a different concourse at a dead run to make my connecting flight, when lo and behold the terminal monitor said my flight was cancelled. Well, it wasn't cancelled last night when I checked in at HNL.

A trip to the customer service produced a neew ticket to Newark that would still get me there in time to connect to Air Canada. So I split the 6 hour wait at Newark into 3 hours at Newark and 3 at St. Louis. Unfortunately, St. Louis is NOT a 3 hour airport! There's nothing here but concourses of gates and a deli that looks like it was rescued from a school being torn down, and not in time, either. This airport could use a cybercafe - there's nothing else to do but sleep, if you can.        Jim
