Planes, trains, & .... well, Planes!

Ugh. Saturday we get to the airport to board our flight for Dallas, connecting to London. But there are terrible storms in Dallas, and they push back our departure time ... only to cancel our flight because of a mechanical. No other flights would get us to Dallas in time for our London flight, so we rebook to Sunday and go home.

How weird, frustrating, and maddening is it to go home to a place you thought you wouldn't see for several weeks and go about your normal routine? <sigh>

Sunday morning I awaken with a sense of dread. Check the Dallas weather. What were called thunderstorms yesterday are now referred to as "super storms." Oh geez. I get on the phone with American and rebook us through Miami, where skies are clear and life's a party. And not five minutes from hanging up the phone I get a text that our Dallas flight today was cancelled. Clearly a prescient decision to rebook!

So we're now on our way, relaxing in the Miami lounge waiting to board our British Airways flight to London Heathrow airport. Hopefully this post isn't a jinx and we'll land tomorrow morning at 6:40am ready to enjoy Monday & Tuesday in London before meeting up with our group for the Human Journey adventure! Fingers crossed.
