Well I have been advised by many that in working with the UN in a multinational contiengent that you MUST have patience and a sense of humour!
My trip started exactly with that in mind. I arrived at the airport to find that they could not locate me on the computer...that was quickly sorted out. I made it through the security check just in time to enjoy about 30min in the KLM Business class lounge. I proceeded down to check on my plane with about 20min left before boarding.
About 5 minutes prior to boarding an anouncement was made "we are presently haveing an on board communication problem and we will not be able to board until we have a technician look into the problem. We will update you in 30 min". I immediately headed back up to the lounge for the free food and drinks.
About 30min later they advised us that the part is avail in USA and will be arriving here at 9:00pm and that we will now be leaving Toronto at 10:00pm not 5:45pm as the original schedule....
Oh well... I laughed, read, watched a movie and ate....
