A day before ....

I am flying tomorrow to Kiev. I had KLM flights booked last week. Seoul – A’dam – Kiev and back.
Today around noon the secretary informed me KLM cancelled a Seoul-A'dam flight for tomorrow. No explanations given by KLM. The agency suggested I fly via Paris and take a plane at 6.50 am for Kiev. All hotels around the CDG airport were fully booked. I was to stay at Novotel in Roissy. This means I have to wake up at 4 am to get 6.50 flight. I do not think so.
I proposed to the travel agent to look into flights to Kiev via Vienna, Frankfurt and Moscow.
I fly via Frankfurt. Than the agency asked me to first request KLM endorsement of my flight changes and than go to Lufthansa counter for check in. I did not respond enthusiasticaly to that suggestion so now I have a ticket and have to go to LH counters directly. Hmmm....
Had a great night with Aicha. She returned from her honeymoon in Indonesia. She has lovely photos of places she and her husband were together. Tonight two of us had a photo with three bottles of wine at Okitchen! We had great food and even better time together.
Than I came home and wanted to pack. But I could not find my suitcase. I remembered I left some clothes in the corridor for Fema with a note that this is for her (I started to clean my wadrobe). Opposite to that was my suitcase and a case with wrapped paintings. Immediately I understood that Fema thought not only clothes but the suitcase with two rugs packed for my new A’dam place and paintings are for her. I called her. Indeed she took rugs and paintings home but fortunately left the suitcase in the garbage room. Lucky me - my housekeeper does not like a perfectly functuning sturdy Samsonite suitcase! Went to the grabage room to pick it up and pack.
After I packed I opened my emails. Found a message from the mover in A’dam. The message is: “Our local contact phoned you today but you were busy. If you want to schedule appointments for 2nd week of Dec contact them”.
Indeed Asian Tigers contacted me on my mobile today afternoon while I was in the meeting. The lady requested me to send them an email. I have a policy of answering mobile calls but if something is not urgent and I am in the meeting I am not going to dwell into a conversation. I did not receive an email from Asian Tigers following their mobile call. And yes - I was busy today as I am flying tomorrow to Kiev and A'dam and I will be out of the office for two weeks. There were a lot of things to do in the office. To write an email - as suggested by Asian Tigers in order to set an appointment for survey - while they just call me on my mobile - was not on my today's "to do list". How this travel started God knows what awaits me next two weeks.
