I just found out that I am travelling to Ohio at the end of this month for a business trip. Should be fun, the last time I flew to Ohio was on September 10, 2001. Yeah, that was 1 day before the terrorist attacks.
That turned out to be an interesting week. I found out I was going to be a father for the 2nd time and I get stuck on the East Coast where it seemed the world was coming to an end. What’s in store for me on this trip?
I guess I’ll just have to wait and see. I’ll keep you posted.

The first time we flew back to Australia after getting married was this very week as well. We were supposed to fly out on Thursday Sept. 13th but our plane was delayed 24 hours until Friday night. Even then we still almost missed our flight. Qantas had three planes on the ground at LAX and we were among the last handful of passengers to board the third plane. We didn’t even get seats together. Fortunately we had two seats together so I sat with our son, who was about 15 months old at the time, while my wife sat about 10 rows ahead of us.
I think that day, like the moon landing, is one that almost everyone will remember for the rest of their lives. My carpool picked me up and was astonished that I hadn’t heard the news. I just get ready for work in the morning, no TV, no radio, no time for any of that. Gone was our usual morning banter as we listened quietly to the events unfold. That was perhaps the day that I realized I’d really become an American, rather than just an ex-pat Aussie.
