sitting here...

Good news... they needed my seat in coach, so I've been upgraded to first to Madrid. I could use the nice sleeper seat.
Bad news... someone at the last moment decided to get off the plane. Turns out they're a deportee. They were asked if they'd checked any bags.... they said no. Further research showed that this guy had in fact checked a bag. So they are scouring the cargo hold, looking for the errant bag... given that we're in NYC, and the circumstances... and that 9/11 is in 2 hours... we're late leaving (90 minutes so far) but I'm glad they're being thorough.
If this gets posted in Madrid, that's an indication that we didn't have further problems.
[Update] Yep, we didn't blow up in midair after all. And I slept very well :).
It is warm (mid-80s) sunny, and I need to drive to Puerta del Sol to pick up SIM cards for our phones...
