Usually when you start a trip, and get to the airport counter to find out your flight is delayed and the connection will be missed, it's not good news. In our case today it turned out just fine. They rebooked on a Lufthansa nonstop straignt to Frankfurt, and we were denied the joy of going thru Chicago. Works out that we'll arrive in Nice at 2:00 this afternoon (Tuesday here) instead of 6:30 tonite. So, we're ahead of schedule, which is a good thing. Especially when compared to the alternative...........
Iam not sure what dreadful alternative David is referring to, but it is very nice being on the other side of the ocean after 10 hours from Seattle instead of the normal 14 or 15 it takes us when using free tickets. We do have a layover of three hours in the Frankfurt airport, but it is not bad. We are in the Lufthansa lounge and I am knitting, reading, drinking, eating and aware that in this overcrowded lounge, with very few vacant seats, men outnumber woman about 100 to one. People working on computers outnumber those of us reading, knitting, drinking, eating about 50 to one. It seems like ages since I was walking the dog in a muddy park and trying to get her bathed and fluffed up so my mother would find her easier to cuddle. One of the things I like best about travel is how it stretches out time.
Thanks to Vatlli for the ride today!
