What a way to start our trip! We show up at DIA headed to Houston to visit family for a mere 48 hours before we hop on our flight to London on Tuesday and we are informed our flight has been delayed 3 hours. We are now hanging in the President's Club, consuming our treats that were meant for the plane and sharing electronics that were also intended to entertain the kids while ON the plane, not waiting for the plane to depart.
Even better, as we are getting settled in to our "hang-out" for the next few hours, Tim's name is announced over the speaker. He is needed at the front desk. As a result of his standing as a person who flys all the time (United considers him to be pretty important), an airline representative wanted to contact him to let us know there is a good possibility our flight will be cancelled all together. She is currently working to book us on another flight to Houston that will depart at 5:40pm (it is now 2:15pm). One of those times I am very grateful for a "world-traveler" in the family!
So, my hope is that this will not be indicitive of what we have to expect over the next 5 weeks. I understand travel is hard and you have to go with the flow, but let's be honest folks, not the best start to our journey. Thankfully the kids haven't complained, but we are still early in the waiting process.
Let's cross our fingers and hope for the best! Blue Moon, take me away!
Hopefully, you are well on your way or already in Houston by now! Wishing you a wonderful adventure... at least from this moment on! ;)
ReplyDelete"Hi" to all from the Evans
Hope you made it to Houston and your arrival wasn't too late! I'll try to call before Tuesday when you leave the country!
ReplyDeleteI think that this was just a test, and that the rest of the trip will be seamless! If the trip starts off with a bump, you will already be more appreciative of the lack of bumps throughout the rest of the trip.
Love you all!
