    About this ebook

    Charlie meets Sue-ling on trans-Pacific flight to Taipei after delays due to bad weather, and then further delays mean a long stop-over in the transit area at the airport.
    Charlie decides to stay at the Airport Hotel where he can get a shower and rest a bit, and is helped by Sue-ling who joins him as she too is delayed by the weather.
    Their in flight conversation becomes more than friendly, as they have to wait for their connections, and a mix-up in the hotel bathroom exposes more than just her skin as their relationship develops.

      Flight Delays

      The Canada Air flight from Ottawa to Vancouver arrived on time.

      It was then that the problems started for Charlie. The connecting flight had been cancelled as the aircraft had not arrived! There was a huge tropical storm, apparently approaching tempest level in East Asia, and the aircraft for the flight that he had been booked on had been unable to take off and fly across the Pacific to Vancouver, all the passengers were told.

      Charlie walked to the enquiry desk and saw an extra attendant just arriving to cope with the backlog of enquiries, and he managed to get at the front of the cheque, and he explained his problem to the very helpful young lady. He also made sure that she could see his Star Alliance frequent flyer gold label card.

      There’s an Eva Air flight going to Taipei about midnight, she smiled, let me see if I can find you a seat on that flight.

      She examined the screen; Yes, there’s one economy class seat, and she looked at Charlie, shall I book you on that flight?

      Charlie nodded, he was tired and just wanted to get home.

      She gave him the boarding pass, and a voucher for a meal.

      Thanks, said Charlie genuinely and smiled at her.

      There was now a six hour wait for the flight to Taipei so he walked through the terminal until he could find a seat near to the Wi-Fi lounge. He sent a message to his office, quickly read the news on his laptop, and went to look for a beer.

      The beer was cold and refreshing. Charlie thought back over the last few days as he sipped the beer.

      The five-day workshop he had attended had been in Ottawa, or just outside Ottawa, and for the conference he had been booked into a hostel close to the conference centre. It was clean and warm which was needed in mid-October.

      Others attending the workshop had travelled there from all over the world, Africa, South America and various other countries in Asia. Some he had met before, but others were new to him. The organizers had managed everything carefully, and what Charlie valued most was the interchange of ideas from other countries.

      He heard his name being called, and walked to Flight Enquiries.

      Mr Charles Henry, he was told by a female member of the ground crew, we’ve been trying to upgrade you but the flight is full.

      What we have managed to do is to give you a seat at the front of Economy Class where the seats are only two across, and you’ve got a bit more legroom. She smiled and handed Charlie a new Boarding Pass, and recommended that he check in now as his baggage was being diverted by the Airport baggage department.

      Charlie thanked her, and mentally patted his Gold Card.

      He had walked around the airport shops but nothing appealed to him. The duty-free section was attractive but he’d have to carry it all the way, and he could only take alcohol on a direct flight.

      He had been asked to check in with the Business Class passengers, and found his seat in front of the Economy Class section. There were only two seats either side instead of three, but there were still four seats in the centre section near the bulkhead.

      For some reason nobody took the seat next to him, until just before the aircraft was due to depart. A young lady sat down with a rush, and the stewardess put her bag in the overhead compartment.

      Hi! she said cheerfully, my name’s Sue-Ling, and she smiled, and it was then that Charlie noticed her large black eyes.

      Charlie took her hand, Charles, he said, but most people call me Charlie.

      Where are you from? she asked.

      I’m Canadian, but I live and work in Vietnam, where I hope to get to sometime tomorrow, Charlie smiled.

      I’m from Taiwan, and I’ve just completed three years in University in Vancouver, she replied in English without any discernible accent.

      The aircraft took off, and they chatted and slept a bit, until the stewardess served them dinner, with a soft drink for Sue-ling, and a beer for Charlie, an aircraft custom which always made Charlie smile.

      After dinner Sue-Ling told him she was going home, and also told him the name of the town, Taichung, which meant nothing to Charlie, but he smiled knowingly.

      It was very early morning when the flight arrived in Taipei, and Charlie walked with Sue-Ling to the Arrivals Hall.

      Wait a minute, she said and disappeared into a shop.

      Here, she said a few minutes later, something from Taiwan so that you remember me! and she laughed.

      He handed him a small locally made toy farmer.

      As she was standing close to him he kissed her forehead, and she blushed, but made no effort to go away.

      Bathroom, said Charlie, and Sue-ling took his bag and said, I’ll wait for you, which was kind of her.

      She watched him walk away, and made a mental note.

      Tall, she decided, probably six foot, brown wavy hair, slim build, intelligent and with a lovely smile. She guessed he’d be late thirties.

      She knew he wasn’t married as he’d told her during the flight, as she’d told him she was nearly thirty and single, but she had also said there was an old boyfriend waiting for her at home.

      Charlie, for his part, thought about this charming and attractive lady he’d met on the flight. She was quite tall compared to other Taiwanese ladies, kept her black hair shoulder length, wore thin gold ring earrings, and was still very slim. But with winter clothes covering her he could not tell anymore. Still, she did have a lovely smile with sparkling black eyes.

      Sue-ling was waiting for Charlie, and she gave him her bag as she in turn went to the Ladies washroom.

      Wrong way round, thought Charlie, I should have asked her first! And he admonished himself, and when she came back she was a bit deep in her own thoughts. They walked on together.

      You have to go that way, but I’m going over there, Sue-ling indicated the overhead signs, Oh yes, here’s my mobile phone number so if you give me a ring sometime, and then I’ll have your number, and she handed him a small card.

      Good-bye Sue-ling, said
