Well, I might just do that. Gotta decompress a little, and
get caught up on this end.

At least the Airbus 340-600 is a nice ride there and
back...It's about the only thing that didn't go wrong. Oh,
wait - a three-hour delay at LAX outbound, and a one-hour
delay after landing inbound because China Eastern didn't
have a jetway available for de-planing (but that's not the
airplane's fault).

Amazingly enough, not once did either my bags or gear get
examined - not even questioned. Before leaving, I stopped at
customs and got a registration certificate to get the gear
back in without hassle. Never needed it.

A member of the group (this was a collection of over 100
musicians - orchestra and chorus, many Local 47, and many
from other parts of the country, Australia and Canada) is
putting together a Web site with pix from everybody. It'll
take a little while for that to be completed, and I'll see
if there is anything appropriate to be shared.
