Sunday, July 1st. I attend our local church service and escape as soon as possible to catch a flight to Winnipeg. My arrival time is plenty early and I sit in the waiting room.
Our flights gate is changed, so I move. The flight arrives and we all anxiously await boarding.
The radar is not working on the plane. Storms and lightning are expected. The flight is a “no go” – cancelled.
We are all shifted to the next flight out in four hours – to arrive in time for me to get to my hotel by midnight!
In between times, I sit, read and chat. First with a Pakistani Muslim family, then with a the Chaldean (Iraqi) Church Bishop for Canada, then with a newly married couple from Steinbach, Manitoba, then with a Bahai youth leader.
Imagine what I would have missed!
Wow, that makes for an interesting trip ! Worth the wait ! Happy travelling !
