6pm Wednesday. Tickets!

I don't know how he does this. Marty has devoted most of today to finding the cheapest airline tickets, but with no or low sacrifices on our part. Remember, this is virtually last minute travel - we leave in two-and-a-half days. Most convenient for us is going in and out of Cincinnati on Delta. But round-trip flights were in the $3,300 - $3,500 range. At 6pm he called all torqued up because we will go in and out of here on Delta for $1,800. Leaving Saturday at 9am to Los Angeles, to Tokyo, then to Taipei, where we'll sleep. Next day to Jakarta, where we'll try not to eat in any outdoor restaurants full of Europeans and Americans. We'll work our way from there up through Sumatra to Bangkok. Bangkok to Tokyo to JFK and back here on November 3rd. Amazing. My job in all of this remains the same - pick up the Malaria pills. Seems fair.
