I've got confirmed flights!

After probably a total of 8 hours on the line with Delta, over several calls, I got a clean, precise itinerary:

For the last 12 hours, there was no real communication between Delta and TAM, and I was waitlisted for like 5 flights, but now, once I forced a representative from Delta to speak with a representative from TAM, I got this. Now, I just have to show up at the airport early enough so they can reprint my paper tickets, which shouldn't take more than 15 minutes.

I'll have to take a bus between the two airports in São Paulo, but they say there's an inter-airport bus that leaves every half hour. I'm calling TAM to double-check on that, and also to ask how long it should take to clear customs.

And since I mailed my cell phone to my foster mom, you might wonder how I'm making calls. Last night, I ran out to Target and got a headset w/ microphone, and I got a Skype account. It's quite nice.

Wish me luck that this flight doesn't get delayed or canceled! Gosh.
