儘管她這輩子很幸運地坐過不少次飛機,但今天對易拎的旅程來說有兩項「第一次」:第一,免費使用機上Wi-Fi;第二,發現她可以用飛行常客里程兌換機上餐點(2,100里程兌換一小瓶混釀紅酒和一份芝士/餅乾拼盤); 這樣感覺時間過得很快,她於22:34抵達時精力尚足,便省下計程車費改搭公共交通工具回去
Even though she's been lucky enough to fly quite a few times in her life, today there are two firsts for PORTABLE's journey: first, free usage of on board wi-fi, and second, discovering that she can use frequent flyer miles in exchange for purchasable food (2,100 miles redeemed for a small bottle of mixed varietal red wine and a cheese/cracker platter); the flight goes by quickly then, and she arrives at 22:34 with enough energy to save taxi money and take public transport instead

慢遞員易拎對於機場安檢處那些尚未領到薪水的美國運輸安全管理局(TSA)員工的處境仍感不安,因此在從達拉斯/沃斯堡國際機場飛往拉瓜迪亞機場的航班起飛前,提早了整整兩小時抵達。令人驚訝的是安檢處完全沒有排隊人潮,但毫不意外地,航班最終還是延誤了——起初從16:36起飛改為17:47,就在她刷過登機證、踏上通往機艙的升降走道之際,所有乘客卻被要求返回,因為飛機現在必須「疏散乘客」; 維修問題導致航班再度延誤並更換登機口,儘管穿越航廈時經過無數餐飲店,她卻忘了想吃東西;航班終於在18:21後起飛,隨後傳來那位牛仔機長令人不安的廣播:「機上配有四位美國最優秀的警員,專門負責保障各位的安全,我們要提醒各位,若不遵守他們的指示,即屬違反聯邦法律」
COURIER PORTABLE, still unsure about the situation for unpaid Transportation Security Administration (TSA) workers at airport security, arrives a good two hours early before her flight from Dallas/Ft. Worth International Airport to LaGuardia. There are surprisingly no lines at all, and not surprisingly, the flight ends up being delayed, first from a 16:36 departure to 17:47, and just as she clears her boarding pass entering into the raised walkway into the plane, all passengers are instructed to go back as the plane must now 'de-plane'; maintenance issues result in another delay and a gate change, and though passing by too many eateries walking across the terminal, she forgets to think of food; departure finally happens after 18:21, with a very disturbing announcement from the cowboy captain: "We have four of America's finest on board with us just to keep you safe, and we'd like to remind you that failure to comply with them is a violation of federal law"

慢遞員易拎再次經過達拉斯/沃斯堡地區,向幾個月前曾交予後先生的 HQL-777說「好耐冇見」;幾日後預定中繼至紐約
COURIER PORTABLE passes through the Dallas/Ft. Worth area again, saying "long time no see" to dispatch HQL-777 which she had left with POST a few months ago; relay to New York scheduled a few days later

慢遞員後先生更新:「遺憾的是,我的朋友因財務緊急狀況未能前來達拉斯。有一件事已變得清晰,而這正是我始終懷疑的——達拉斯-沃斯堡地區猶如文化與經濟的引力井。似乎從紐約前來此地的人,僅限於想逃離都市的金融從業者,且鮮少有人會離開這個區域。我始終留意著前往那裡的人,但是還未找到。待我找到合適人選後會再更新,若最終需親自前往也未嘗不可——對我而言這並非最糟的結果。」
COURIER POST UPDATE:"Unfortunately my friend has not come to Dallas due to financial emergencies. One thing that’s become clear to me, and that I’ve always suspected, is that DFW is a cultural and economic gravity well. It seems like the only people that come here from New York are financial types that want to escape the city and rarely do people travel outside the region. I’m always keeping my eye out for people going there, but haven’t found anybody. I’ll update once I can find someone, or if I’ll have to go there myself which isn't the worst result for me."

慢遞員後先生更新:「關於慢遞緩件,我有一個朋友一月份從紐約來拜訪,她也已經答應了可以派送慢遞。我也會繼續留意一下有沒有人更早過去,但是也挺難找可靠和和善於溝通的人」
COURIER POST UPDATE:"About the package, yes, I have friend visiting from New York in January and she already accepted taking the package for delivery. I am on the lookout for anyone I know that’ll be there sooner, but it’s difficult to find people that are as trustworthy and communicative."

這是最後的可能時機,但由於慢遞員易拎在此地區的聯絡人不多,她決定在次日離開達拉斯前,對唯一遇見的人做最後一搏——這是一場與POST的首次會面。兩人先前曾因《熱浪》這份即將加入『展銷場』書庫的新左翼期刊,在網上有所接觸。交接會談圍繞著無證移民家庭生活、達拉斯帽子暴力手段,以及孤獨的左翼出版事業展開。儘管POST目前同樣缺乏前往紐約的聯絡人,仍善意表示願意代為保管這份郵件直至找到中繼站;郵件編號HQL-777現已暫存,等待轉運
It's the last possible moment, but since COURIER PORTABLE does not have many contacts in this region, she makes a last-ditch attempt with the one person she meets before leaving Dallas the next day; it's a blind meet-up with POST, whom she has had previous online contact with in regards to Heatwave, a new leftist periodical that will join the Display Distribute distro soon. Handover meeting conversation revolves around undocumented family life, violent tactics of the Dallas police, and lonely, leftist publishing. While POST also currently lacks New York-bound contacts, he is kindly willing to assist in holding the dispatch until a relay is found; dispatch HQL-777 now in holding, relay awaiting.

儘管仍拖曳著HQL-777號慢遞任務,易拎從里約返回聖保羅再轉赴美國的旅程中,行李已稍顯輕盈;她將在達拉斯/沃斯堡都會區停留約一週後返回香港。此行將是她最接近紐約市的時刻,對於HQL-777號文件的接力傳遞期望也隨之升溫
While she is still carrying dispatch HQL-777 in tow, COURIER PORTABLE's bags are otherwise a bit lighter now for the journey from Rio back to São Paulo and then onwards to the United States; she will stay in the Dallas/Fort Worth metropolitan area for approximately one more week before returning to Hong Kong. This will be the closest she reaches to New York City on this journey, and hopes for a relay courier for dispatch HQL-777 are ramped up.

迷你產業峰會結束後,易拎有幸與母親共度假期,在聖保羅多停留數日探索巴西;她們搭乘巴士從聖保羅前往里約熱內盧;車廂以簾幕分隔,仿皮革躺椅與免費的葡萄牙風味點心包,皆是令人耳目一新的體驗。
After the end of the mini-industry summit which has brought her to São Paulo, PORTABLE is lucky to be joined by her mother for an extra few days of exploring Brazil on holiday; they depart from São Paulo for Rio de Janeiro by bus; the curtain-partitioned, pleather reclining seats and complementary Portuguese snack packets are a novelty.

當慢遞員易拎手持登機證來到登機口準備掃描登機時,刺耳的警報驟然響起,她被要求前往服務櫃檯;目睹大批神色焦慮的乘客擠滿登機口,她略感不安,擔心自己會被調離預訂的靠窗座位,被迫在接下來十四小時的漫長航程中夾在令人不快的陌生人之間。櫃檯前,卡達航空一名瘦削面無表情的職員接過登機證後,一言不發地開始敲擊鍵盤。她開始哀求:「先生請別換座位,我特意要求了靠窗位」;對方終於抬頭冷嘲道:「哦,您想改回經濟艙嗎?」 她理應感到難堪,也確實如此,但當然只能硬著頭皮走向商務艙的新座位——新裝備了卡達航空logo的睡衣和一杯香檳
When courier PORTABLE arrives to the gate with her boarding pass in hand for scanning to board her flight, a jarring alarm sounds, and she is requested to head to the service counter; seeing the hoards of anxious-looking passengers crowded around the gate she is slightly perturbed and worries that she will be displaced from her allotted window seat and stuck in between unpleasant strangers for the next 14-hour haul. At the counter, a slim and expressionless Qatar airlines staff member takes her boarding pass and immediately begins clicking on his keyboard without a word; she begins to whine, 'Please don't move my seat, sir, I specifically requested a window seat', after which he finally looks up and snidely remarks, 'Oh, would you like to be put back in economy?' She is meant to feel sheepish and does, but of course sucks it up and heads to a new seat in business class, fitted with branded pyjamas and a glass of champagne.

易拎首次前往南美洲,迂迴穿越中東與歐洲才抵達聖保羅;全程耗時26小時,也是她至今最漫長的飛行旅程。然而登機前夕,私人慢遞任務仍纏身不休。她耗費數小時將香港寓所交還業主,並將盆栽運往朋友家託管,待覓得新居後再行領回; 她以半流浪狀態離開香港,但隨身攜帶兩個行李箱滿載沿途分享的出版物;其中包緩件號HQL-777的包裹內容物,雖無明確通往紐約的渠道,卻懷抱著沿途結識友人的期盼。原定19:40自香港國際機場起飛的航班稍有延誤
PORTABLE is travelling for the first time to South America, taking a circuitous route over the Middle East and Europe to get to São Paulo; it is a 26 hours' long flight in total, also the longest she has ever taken. But before her flight, personal couriering duties still plague her, and she spends the hours before going to the airport returning her flat in Hong Kong to the landlord and transporting plants to a friend's house for care until she finds a new flat; she departs Hong Kong in a semi-homeless state, but with two bags filled with publications for sharing along the way; included are the contents of dispatch HQL-777, without a clear path to New York, but with hopes of meeting friends along the way. Scheduled departure from Hong Kong International Airport at 19:40 is slightly delayed.
