Well, they had us out on the airfield at 0500 and they started to manifest the plane so I figured we were actually going to go. I should have listened more to my original feeling, which was that it would be cancelled (after making us show up at 0500, of course). They called it off around 0620 because of the huge typhoon that is between Oki and there.

They are saying they will reschedule for late November or early December. I will, of course, keep you posted.
