God is Japanese and Speaks Hebrew

Posted by Tamar Hadar on Dec 16 2007 | Logistics

I wasn’t expecting to update the blog until arriving in Vietnam but now I am writing using free Internet access at the Japan Airlines Sakura lounge at the JFK Airpoirt where biz class and first class passengers nibble on Japanese snacks and sip wine until their flight. Today we learned that God is Japanese and he speaks Hebrew – as we were checking in at the Japan Airline counter, Kevin was telling me in Hebrew how he would love to fly business class one day. A second later, the airlines rep at the counter informed us that there has been overbooking for our flight and and normally we would have to be on a waiting list but instead, they’ve decided to upgrade us to business class!!! HHHHAAA! 14 hours in pure comfort!

This sort of thing only happens when Kevin is around, he brings a lot of luck into any situation. We’re now going to try this strategy at every gate, Kevin will say in Hebrew how he’d love to fly First Class (we should try that too, no?) and poof! We’ll be upgraded! We’re off to a great start!

    So Cool! You deserve to live in the lap of luxury :-) I’m also really happy your flight took off without a problem weatherwise.
    Love you both!!!

    OMG you guys are SO lucky to be upgraded to first class! i’ve never sat in first class, hopefully one day i will too. i hope both of you flew in comfort and also safely :) hopefully you’re already in Vietnam and have started to enjoy the nice hot weather there! Looking forward to hearing how your whole trip goes!

    Tamar, you’re pretty magical yourself :-)

    Snowy weather was delaying flights out of NYC that morning; but I think your golden aura enveloped the whole plane, drawing it up into the sunny sky above the clouds.

    Thanks for sharing the fun, Edward
