Today we were taking a 45 minute fight from Newark in New Jersey to Washington DC. We were then going to wait a little more than an hour and fly from Washington DC to London where we would be met by my family. However our plane was delayed. At first it was delayed to leave at 8:25PM instead of 6:59PM, and it looked like we might make it. Then it was delayed until 9:00, then 9:55 and finally 10:30PM. We finally got into Washington Dulles Airport at around quarter to midnight. Our international flight to London had already left 2 hours before that. So we have now been booked into the 9:45 PM flight tomorrow, thus stranding us in DC for 24 hours. Right now we are in the Sheraton near the airport, and it is nearly 2AM.
Goodnight.
P.S. Here are a couple of photos:
Cara at a Hockey Game (Pittsburgh vs Florida, in Florida).
Me and Cara at Staten Island attempting to get a shot of us with the NY skyline and statue of liberty in the background but failing because the sun was too bright and the weather was too good. How can you possibly cancel and delay flights due to weather like this.
Me and some kind of Ankylosaurus.
Hopefully we don't get delayed too much tomorrow.
Ah - something I've learnt in my long flying career... leave at least 2 hours for interstate connecting flights and at least 4 hours for international - even then it gets bloomin tight! Glad you've got it all sorted though and are flying off soon! HAPPY EASTER wee Shug!!! N xx
