Flight Drama

For the non-Facebookers not in the know, here's the latest wedding drama, and when I say drama, I mean it.  Benji and Andrea were on the plane out of Nash this morning when they were called back to the gate, and the flight was cancelled.  Some problem, still not sure what.  Off the plane, they immediately start scrambling for a flight to JFK, were put on one via Chicago, missed their Madrid connection, BUT, were put on one leaving shortly after.  Talk about a cliff hanger...  Their pals, family, and fellow text and FB-ers, have sent prayers, laughs and "it'll be OK" messages out the wazoo, and for now, they seem to be back on schedule.  And don't even say the word luggage 'cause I don't even want to know if it's on their plane or not, and even if it isn't, it can fly with us tomorrow and they can each go buy a swimsuit (or not!) until we get there.

I am pissed, though, because I had called American and had them put on the flight manifest that they had a bride and groom on board heading to Italy for their wedding, and would the Captain please announce their names, and seat row, so everybody would laugh and clap, and maybe send them champagne.  Now that they are on another Airline and flight, fagedaboudit.  Just one more little life detail I have no control over, and there are just LOTS.  Oh, well.

This just gets more comical  as we go, and isn't air travel fun?  Not. They both have such great attitudes about it all (well, there were a few choice cuss words but who wouldn't).  I'm sure they are relaxing now, enhanced by several in flight cocktails, prior to that yummy in flight dinner.  They posted a pic of themselves in flight to Madrid, and though grainy, thank you crappy Iphones, they look really happy and that's what counts.  Lord, puuuuuulease don't let that happen to us tomorrow or Bruce will have a large COW in the middle of DFW airport, and then it'll be my turn. It could get ugleeeeee.
