HOME AGAIN!

Wed AM, 27 Feb 08, Lynchburg, VA

WE’RE HOME AGAIN!

It was 29 hours from when we left the hotel in Bueonos Aires until we arrived safely home last evening at 7:45 PM.

Seven of those hours were spent in the Atlanta airport where we arrived at 5:30 AM yesterday. We had tickets for the 10:00 AM Delta flight to Washington Dulles Airport. We’re very unhappy with Delta Airlines. There was an earlier Delta flight, and they had unused seats for us, and we were on time for it, but they wouldn’t let us aboard unless we would pay $50 additional apiece, which we certainly were not willing to do. Then we missed our 10:00 AM flight because they changed the gate and failed to announce the change in the original gate waiting area. They said it was our responsibility to monitor the TV screens for changes. So we got on the 12:45 PM flight for the 1-1/2 hour ride to Dulles.

We took a taxi to where we had left our car with our Franco relatives near the airport. Staying awake to drive home wasn’t difficult, but when we got home we went straight to bed and slept for >10 hours.
