ben had to fly to chile for a work-related meeting.
a little chime wakes me up this morning, and i read this text message on my phone:
"Im back in atlanta. We turned around halfway over columbia and flew back. We're leaving atl again. Will call later tonight if we get to chile"...
apparently there was some instrumental malfunction, and the pilot decided to turn the plane back and land where it started... i'm sure ben will have more to say about that.

Hope you arrived saftly to chile, Ben?We are waiting to hear how this flight ended.
ben finally arrived safely! i think it took him like 2 days to get there...
Yes, this will get a blog post, including a map that shows my travel. We flew 2500 miles (Santiago, Chile is about 5000 miles from Atlanta), got to Ecuador, and the pilot turned around. When I get to Atlanta on Sunday morning, I will go demand frequent flyer miles for the 9 hour flight to Ecuador and back. If that doesn't work, I'm sure I can get Keren to write a letter, which never fails to get results.
I'll be posting about this when I get back to the US. The meeting has finally ended this afternoon.
