I'm sorry, BillyTea. I hope they find a way to make things work.
But I understand. You gave up everything you had to find me. And you found me broken. It's hard for you.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Crisis averted! After some serious panic and one crying jag (I'm back under control now) The website processed the enrollment in less than half an hour. We're now waiting to board.
We passed an automated kiosk inviting us to "Rate our experience at Melbourne Airport". They didn't have a button for "terrifying".
Thanks for the well wishes. I'd been joking about Customs slapping a tariff on Biyi, but this was a bit too nerve-wracking. (Biyi is now considering whether to apply for Australian citizenship.)

Oh! For those playing along at home, our itinerary:
San Diego (ZOOOOO!!)
Las Vegas and Grand Canyon tour
New York (Hamilton!)
Washington D.C.
San Francisco
Los Angeles
And finally, three nights in Hawaii to recover from this insane schedule.
(We of course are open to catching up with people while we're there! And sorry we couldn't fit in some more stops.)

Our wings are not tired.
Crisis averted!
What a relief! Fortunately I read the conclusion moments after the crisis so it was much faster for me.
You surely deserve smooth travels the rest of your itinerary.

Wow that is quite an experience...and quite a trip, Billytea!! I hope you enjoy after the panic wears off.
I managed to forget headphones AGAIN. Swear they were in my bag, so not sure what happened. Luckily was able to buy new ones in dFW but still.
Also glad T-Mobile means we landed two minutes ago and I'm online already. Yay!
