Ong's journey

Peter Ong just arrived from Sydney – the longest journey of many long journeys for judges and assistants. The last leg of Peter's trip was an unexpected and unfortunate eight-hour Greyhound ride from NYC to Syracuse, complete with a new driver who was a little unclear on exactly how to get to Syracuse.

That last leg was a little lighter since he's been without his luggage for 36 hours. The bags he's holding are clothes to get him through the next couple days while his luggage catches up with him.
