Weather Wrinkles Delay Girls’ Trip Flight

Eight of us are converging in Asheville, North Carolina for a four-night trip.   

Six of us are there but Nancy and I have been stranded in Newark Airport since 2:30 p.m. yesterday. Her connecting flight from Maine was tight anyway and then delayed. I waited with her for the next flight to Asheville Airport and our other two friends flew on down. We were booked onto a 7:15 p.m. that was changed to 9:45 p.m. and then cancelled due to stormy weather. Good thing we get along. :)

We are.at an airport area hotel now waiting a dog’s age to check in. The clock struck 12 two min ago.

We are on standby for afternoon seats tomorrow, 2:15 p.m. flight. This is crazy.

Hot, then drizzly, bright green knotted sundress strap slipping uncomfortably while we schlepped rollies and bags around the airport to find a customer service kiosk, an agent, anything. 

It’s a long story. But we crossed paths w travelers coming from or going to Portugal, Greece, Cincinnati and what we guessed was Bermuda, based on his tropical shirt.

It was early rise today at 6:45 to dry my delicate laundry and finish packing. I can’t wait to get some rest.

Good night.
