flight itineraries....there were lots of them. I was going lots of places. Everytime I feel back asleep after looking at the clock, I just remember thinking of another place, another ticket. The last one I remember is getting ready to fly to Bombay on to ??? (don't remember). I was getting on a hotel-airport bus, it was 810 in the am. My flight for Bombay left at 1110am. The bus driver said not to worry, we were just "10 minutes out." The bus cost 2000Y or $18US, i think it took both currencies.

But before getting on the bus I was at some sore of delapitated hotel or apartment. I had been sleeping at a table on a rooftop garden, maybe after a party, maybe after a beer garden party?
There were adult twin sisters sitting at another table wearing matching bright blue sweaters. And there was a woman who used to volunteer for AFS sitting at another table. I ended up sitting with her. (i never liked her in real life, nothing was different, she was still annoying). She was talking about having this affair with a professor that she'd met at the last summer conference. So I guess, we were at a conference before together. Was it an AFS conference or an MA conference? I asked her some questions about this affair and the prof. She said he's pretty dull and she has a hard time listening to him so she doesn't remember. But she showed me a map of LA and pointed out where his house is. It was on a cliff on the coast between Santa Barbara and Santa ????, near LA. Apparently it was exactly 30 m directly above the sea. I remember thinking, I wonder if it's near ASJ's new house. And as I thought that I realized the map was like the Maruder's (?) map in Harry Potter, you can see people moving on it. And there she was. All of a sudden I saw a bicycle riding around in a green parky area south of Santa Barbara, near this man's house. And then the bicycle disappeared back into the trees.

But back to the rooftop hotel. I think it was looking out over Tokyo. THere were some car racing rides on the edge of the rooftop. So it felt like you were flying. And then there were some ballrooms, maybe that's where the party had been.

I was sitting and waiting for my mom. I texted her to hurry up, but that airport bus showed up before she did. But I think she met me there. As I was texting her, I got a message from my cousin on my cell. She was telling me about a new student who'd got a scholarship from AFS. I didn't know why she was telling me this. Strange.

I just really wanted to get on my flight to Bombay onto .....?
