leaving in less than a week (in theory)

I'm flying out to the States next week—in theory, at least. I'm going standby, space available, which puts me at the bottom of the priority list when it comes to empty seats and the chance of boarding. Getting bumped here in Seoul won't be a big problem, given that I live here and can return to my place every night if I miss a flight. Getting bumped in the States, however, might be a problem: I foresee a few nights in hotels. I hope there won't be too many hangups, but we'll see.
