needing travel prayers

Well, we SHOULD be in Munich waiting for our connection to Ukraine. As it is, we are still in NC. Yes, you read that right. We are in Charolotte, NC after having spent a VERY rough (on me) 24 hours or so.

We left our house a little after 10am yesterday (Sunday) in order to give our taxi plenty of time to arrive at the airport by 11:30 in order to meet our 2:33 flight. Our plane ended up being delayed for 3 hours, which meant we missed our Munich connection, which means we are now missing our Ukraine connection. After spending close to 4 hours trying to work out something with the airline, they managed to get us on a flight for 11:10 today to JFK to catch a direct flight from there to Ukraine this afternoon around 4:00.

We got a free stay in a VERY nice hotel last night, free supper and free breakfast. We got to the airport this morning only to discover that the flight to JFK had been cancelled!!!! The airline decided that even though it was already 8:15, we could make a 9:25 flight to JFK- why didn't they book us on this last night?! Anyway, Rich and I rushed to get this flight ticketed and I broke down SOBBING in front of the poor airline supervisor. After we got into the security line with only 20 minutes until the flight left, Rich noticed that HIS bording pass had my name on it and security would not let him through. He had to run back to the ticketing counter while I went on through security.

He made it back with about 10 minutes to spare. We RAN, and I mean RAN. My chest hurt, my legs hurt, and I thought I might collapse right on the concourse. We got to our concourse only to discover that this flight has been delayed. It's 9:35 now and we have no idea when we are leaving. We MUST make JFK by lunchtime so we can EASILY make our flight.

Gotta go- it's here!!!
