My itinerary change is official: I'm signed up for the Zero-Gravity flight on November 19th in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida instead! They had to cancel my Zero-Gravity flight in Moscow due to mechanical issues with the plane. Huge Bummer. But the Mig-25 edge-of-space flight is still on. One less day in Moscow, one more day in St. Petersburg. The U.S. Zero-G is cheaper than the Moscow one, and I'll be spending the remaining cash on the extra flight and Hotel there, so it pretty much balances out. So I'll be in the States for Thanksgiving for sure!
Also, I just got an email from my Space Adventures planner, and she says that there will be some people from some popular South African news show there on the same day as me to do the Mig-25 flight, and that they want to interview other fliers... so I get to be on South African TV, too. Dude, total package deal. It's a good thing nobody I know lives in SA to see me make a dork out of myself.
