Topband: 9M0W - Departure Bad Luck and its Consequences

[k1zm at aol.com]

Krassy and I planned to fly together from Boston at 9PM on 02 March. via Doha/Kuala Lumpur and Kota Kinabalu (SABAH).  Arrival would be 04 March, a TEAM MEETING for all on 05 March and a private charter flight to Layang Layang at 0545 hours on 06 March.


On Wed Feb 28th I learned of the GIANT Nor'Easter that was going to hit BOSTON about our takeoff time on Friday.


I called Krassy and we changed our departure to THURS night 0850 hours  - at a mere additional cost of $800 per man to re-write our tickets.


I mean - what the HELL!!  This was SPRATLY - damned that we were going to back out at this point.....


Departure was okay - we beat the storm and got to DOHA on time.  In the re-write process of our tickets Krassy got a good ininerary - mine SUCKED in plain English - he got on a plane to KL - I had about a 9 hour layover and could not get on his plane(without paying another $280 which I decided not to do.)
