The Lesson in The Layover

So my flight from Nashville to San Francisco was delayed by 3 hours, and this caused me to miss my original 11am flight from San Francisco to Hong Kong, I now have a 12 hour layover in San Francisco. While at first I was pretty annoyed by this set back, I did all I could to help the situation and make the mental decision to not let it bother me.

And now, I find myself in an Airport Lounge, talking about music to an Australian couple, and it made me think, obviously this is what THIS ENTIRE THINGS IS ABOUT! The Misinformed Adventures!

Maybe everything won’t work out exactly as I planned, but things WILL work out! And now talking to so many strangers about music, it feels like we’re friends and this, This is what it’s all about! How music connects us! Regardless of the different paths we’ve taken, countries we’re from, languages we speak, age, religion, sex, We are much more alike than we know and a great way bridge to these differences is Music!

The Lesson in The Layover

Maybe the layover was an unexpectedly good thing and you can talk to people about your love of music. You can be a great ambassador for music and maybe pick up more people for your channel. I can't wait to see the video of the One OK Rock mini albums. I have to wait when I have more time to watch it but I am sure I will love it because I have watched almost all of the videos but I don't think I have seen these.

Ah! I missed you by a day! I was at SFO & my flight to ATL was delayed almost 3hrs causing me to lose my connection to Chattanooga! I was actually surprised how calm I was 😂 even though i wasn’t looking forward to sleeping at the ATL airport to catch next avail flight. Thankfully my family decided to drive 2 1/2 hrs to pick me up but then the airline didn’t do as told to release my luggage in ATL instead of CHA 😣 I’m excited for your travels. I’ve always loved Japan & HK. I used to travel to HK 2-4x /yr for work. I don’t travel as much now but your vlogs r igniting the wanderlust in me! Have fun!

Your face is the epitome of calmness and peace. Wonderful that you could turn lemons to lemonade. It's part of your charm!

New adventures have the potential to be so exciting and at times serendipitous when you keep an open mind. Enjoy it all. I’ll be watching for your updates about the concert!

Yes, he has arrived in Sydney and I'm just about to meet him at the train station. Looking forward to hearing and seeing all you experience on your trip. Hong Kong is a great place! ☺️

Must be the theme of the day! My son had a two and a half hour delay out of Melbourne to Sydney this morning. But you are right ... What can you do? Hope you meet lots of interesting people ☺️
