Hi
If you’ve ever travelled long distance, you may have had this experience.
Picture it – it’s almost 30 hours since you woke up on Tuesday in Brisbane, did final packing, headed to airport, flew 13 hours to Los Angeles, had lengthy layover, flew on to Chicago with the final leg: short connecting flight to Cleveland, found flight cancelled, rescheduled onto flight next day (28 hours later). Wow! So near and yet so far.
So – I type this from a hastily-arranged Holiday Inn room near Chicago Airport; we ended up here on a “distressed passenger rate” for the night. See pic below. Not distressed at all – just mega-tired; both of us. Presented a few challenges though, prompting the hasty purchases of matching Chicago t-shirts @ airport (see pic).All our luggage, you see was in transit to Cleveland. Anyhow, had the best ranch salad at hotel restaurant. Fantastic, after airport/airplane food previous day+
So – today we check our from here at 11, with Dad (Herb) Butrick picking us up from Cleveland airport not quite 24 hours later. It will be REALLY good being with him again.
