Ready for take off! Rolled out towards lane. It's 8:25am and we're still on the ground and this is making me sleepy. Apparently, there is a delay of 20 minutes due to bad weather in Chicago so we have to wait here on the plane. Mui, the captain is a man and I didn't catch his name (8:30am). Okay, now we're going to go again (8:30am). We're airborne! (8:35am) I'm having a ginger ale and trying to fall asleep. Of course failing miserably, because the cabin is so cold.
