Well, it IS possible to make a connection in Frankfurt in
only 1 hour, but only if you have John Huscher standing fast at the gate to
keep it open for Amanda and Stan to arrive.
Our flight left an hour late, they made up 45 minutes in the
air, but because our confirmed seats had been changed, I ended up in the next
to last row of the plane, and was therefore among the last off. I was the last one on the plane bound for
Chicago.
Of course, “Screaming Banshee” was on the Frankfurt to
Chicago flight, and joined by a companion, “Screams Even Louder”. Pretty much non-stop takeoff to landing, plus
running up and down the aisles…I’m thinking some of those darts they use to tranquilize
lions would be a good addition to the TEAM India trip bag!! I recorded some of their screams, gonna sell
them to Steven King for his next movie soundtrack.
Upon arrival in Chicago, we found out our flight to Omaha
had been cancelled, and we were missing 4 bags. We can fly out tomorrow at 7:30 am or 9:30 am.
After booking the 7:30 flight, we reconsidered and booked the 9:30 flight
instead. Two reasons, #1: people picking
us up would have to leave very early in the morning, and #2, if the 7:30 flight
was cancelled the 9:30 flight could already be booked.
Next decision: stay overnight in the airport or a hotel. There was no need to vote on this one, after
20 hours in the air, we ain’t sleeping in no airport. Hello, Embassy Suites.
So, we are recovering here, hope to be on the way home
tomorrow.
