Early morning excitement... another adventure starts... with check in.  Our plane didn't make it from L.A  as its engine was on fire.  Landed safely back where it it started! We are now on a 747 instead of 380 and the plane is overbooked.  100 people will miss out.  Thank goodness we are early and so we are on.

Once on board we're surprised there are so many empty seats.  The service is incredible and we are quickly served drinks and then we wait and .... wait.  Engine problem? No Passport control computers are down and people can't get to the plane.  So off we go leaving everyone behind.  We later found out that Kaye and Kerry from our choir had been interviewed for TV news as they waited in the long snaking line... luckily they made it on board too!
