The wireless is functioning again, whooo...I thought I might be disconnected from the outside world for awhile. Gasp! But, no, we come back from the Falls and it's here. So...where was I...oh yes...JFK

JFK, 9:30pm, January 31. We start boarding our flight, LA 531 to Lima, Peru. And herein lies the rub. When I originally booked the flight, we were scheduled to leave just after 10pm. Less than a week before the flight I got an e-mail from LAN stating that our flight time had changed and we were leaving after 11pm, an hour later. As of the morning of January 31 our itinerary was still showing a departure after 11pm, but we boarded and departed at our original departure time. Whatever.

Oh, and I almost forgot! Our luck continued. We had two seats in Y (coach for those uninitiated to Flyertalk), window and aisle on the Starboard sude where there was no middle. After the doors had closed a flight attendant came up to us and asked if we would like to move to the exit row as it was empty. Wait, enough leg room that we could stretch out without touching the seat in front of us? Of course, we're in! Now, I have no idea how we were chosen (well other than that my wife and I are amazingly smart and attractive...and I'm modest to beat the band! But seriously, I don't have LAN status, and I used BA miles for the trip (and I don't have BA status either) so I don't know why the FA picked us, but we gladly took it.

Sadly, anyone looking for details about the flight itself will have to look elsewhere as I fell asleep sometime during takeoff and did not wake until final approach in Lima.

To be continued....
