justin arriving.... what a nightmare

a nightmare is really an understatement. After checking the flight status, confirmed to arrive at 6:30 am, i went to sleep somehow knowing that things were not going to go smoothly. at about 4 am, justin phones and has arrived at the airport. Since I was still sleeping at that point, we decided to meet at the hotel where i had made reservations for him. i showed up at about 6 am, and was told that he has not arrived yet. Another 2 hours go by, shit, justin's been missing for 4 hours. Now what to do with a big baby loose on the streets of bombay? As a normal person with good reason to fear, i panicked. As a person who has some sense, however, i contacted all the necessary authorities, including the airline, the bombay police and the Canadian Consulate. My friend Gila stayed with me and was immensely supportive, she called up her contacts at the airport and i called mine. now at 6 hours and counting, we were almost ready to assume the worse. We were on the way to meet with the Canadian Consular when justin rings me, he has been asleep at the hotel the entire time!! needless to say, i completely lost it. Back at the hotel, I gave them a good piece of my mind. They had somehow forgotten to record his name on the register that all guests must sign, and failed to make the connection that the 2 separate people who came for the reservation made by Ada Chan, were in fact, 2 people who knew each other. So continues the adventures of Bombay, next stop: Palolem Beach, Goa. O Kate Horan, I hope we can find each other without another huge ordeal, i don't think i can handle it.

In other news, the book club meeting was fantastic, Greg showed up and is a magnificent speaker. I'm sure no one reading this has read his book, so there's no point going into detail. But alas it has been a stressful week. Can I make it through one more day before Goa???
