On the way home


2-16-2012

Well, some are and some aren’t.

We arrived in plenty of time to get registered, about 2.5 hours early.  After dropping us off at the airport, Will and Laura went back to FPCT with Peter. We had spent a nice afternoon at Wood Carver’s market, late lunch and shopping at Slipway and nice dinner at Sea Cliff. 

All of us were in line, but for a few of us it was for naught.  “There is big trouble with your ticket.”  Loosely translated, “We are over booked and you are bumped.”  Serena and Laura Brown got on.  Carl was bumped, but was later called up.  Meg and Jake were bumped too.  Meg and Jake were rebooked on a flight leaving at 3 AM our time and will miss there original flight to Rome.  That is rebooked too and they will get in (tired) about a half day late.  There wasn’t time for them to go back to FPCT, but apparently, KLM was going to feed them.  (We just came from dinner.)

I was bumped too.  Currently, it is nearly 1 AM and I am sitting at the New Africa Hotel.  I will be asleep in a few minutes.  I will ultimately get in about midnight instead of noon tomorrow.

All’s well that ends well.  Stay tuned for the end of this cliffhanger!  Now really.  Tis isn’t a soap opera.  It is a mere inconvenience.  (Still a PITA.)  See you all soon!
