Just Made It

I could not believe it, but I should have: at 4:30 am I still did not have a ticket for Haiti.

The day before, after the movers finished and before I was about to spend my last night in DC, I received an e-mail from travel services company (I’ll call them CW) at 4:58 informing me that I needed to buy my ticket.  I sat at my computer for a second, completely dumbfounded.  How could this possibly be?  The romantic answer is anything is possible in my line of work, but the real answer is probably my file slipped through the cracks.
