Got the seat!

Didn't think it would happen but it did. I'll be going to Tokyo for a 10-day trip, and then to Hong Kong for another 9 days. The notification actually came on the 12th, the same day my web site was published. I didn't sleep for about 36 hours at that point, and was pretty disoriented. Nevertheless, that left me only 10 days to prepare for the trip. (Boarding on the 24th!) Aaaaargh!!
