Expectations

Expecting to hear that we are enjoying S's company, being wowed by the sights of an unfamiliar city, eating yummy unidentifiable food? Bet you are not expecting to hear that we are still in G-town. Due to those rip-roaring storms last night our flight was eventually cancelled. 1st - the plane we were suppose to fly out on was given to another group for some mysterious reason, 2nd - the plane that came in that we were to take out was struck by lightening descending and did not pass the safety check to continue, 3rd - another plane was sent for us from Chicago, after circling for quite a while was sent to Pittsburgh to wait it out, but eventually the crew's max duty time would have been exceeded before landing in Istanbul.
Because Turkish Air was a part of our reservations, United was obligated to get us on their flight today - I heard folks who would not be rescheduled till Monday - actually we almost aren't anyway. Plan B: Turkish Air, April 17, flight 8 departing Dullas 10:55 pm, arriving Istanbul, April 18, 4:10.
Grateful to still be going, sorry we will be almost 2 days behind. Expecting to have a wonderful time.
