That's right ...we are not on that dreaded 13 hour flight to Tokyo we are (through the incompetency of Northwest/Delta Airlines) sitting in a motel in Minneapolis. There was a "mechanical" issue and we didn't leave Omaha til 3 hours late and missed the connection to Tokyo. So here we sit until tomorrow when we can catch tomorrow's flight (barring anymore of the airlines idiocy) Can you tell we're not happy? Got that right. After a whole lot of pushing and even more demanding we finally got them to book us on the flight and then you should have seen us try to get a room comped to us. They finally called a Days Inn but Surprise! the shuttle didn't show, they didn't answer the phone at the hotel and NW would help no more. Needless to say after 4 hours trying to escape the Minneapolis Airport we booked our own room at Holiday Inn and Mike and Sydney have passed out on the beds. I need to lower my blood pressure so that I can try to figure out how to call Manila to rebook hotel rooms, reschedule appointments and tours and shuttles. Did I ever think I liked to travel? I wonder what the boys are going to think when we don't show up on time. I can't even contemplate that right now. Say a prayer or twenty.
Don't worry Pickle Family!! You know how the saying goes, "Things happen for a reason" God has his own timetable, unfortunately sometimes it doesn't match up to ours. It will happen--and it will be great!!! Love ya, the McMurray's
ReplyDeleteChris just called!!!! I CANNOT believe this! That's just NUTS! Call me if you need to vent:)Wish I had a boat or a jet or a magic nose to twitch to get you there by Monday. The boys are brave, patience & tough...probably more then anyone else right now. Love & Prayers, Lynn
ReplyDeleteOh, I wish I would have known you were here. We are only minutes from the airport with the Mall of America between us. I'm so sad I didn't find your blog until today.
