Posting from International Check-in at Beijing International Airport....
I was actually supposed to get home last night, but Air China had other plans. At least I have quite the story out of it. I'd originally booked a 2 hour 45 min layover in Beijing, figuring that would be plenty of time. However, our Hangzhou-Beijing flight was delayed 2 hours. Then, the pilot made two go-arounds at Beijing, very bumpy (cue the airsick bags and retching noises from fellow passengers), each time getting w/in about 30 feet of the ground, before giving up (due to high winds, I guess), and we diverted to Tianjin. In Tianjin they kept us on the plane on the tarmac out at the end of their runway for close to 4 hours. At least the AC worked there. They ran out of water, and then orange juice. Finally, they refueled and flew the plane back to Beijing, arriving only 8 hours late. At least I wasn't alone (two other americans on the flight in the same situation as me), and Air China did, after some convincing, spring for a hotel for the night.
Clearly the simplest possible explanation for this is that I'm destined to make some universe-shattering discovery in the future, the echoes of which are rippling backward in time to try to prevent my return to the US.
