Travel day 1: An exercise in Flexibility

Well, the important thing is, we are all together now and in an hour we will be on our way to London - but we'll get to that in a second. 



A thunderstorm rolled through Chicago this morning - so just as it seemed Selah (coming from Anchorage) and Lauren, Emily, and Mark (coming from Philadelphia) were circling to land - they each got rerouted... leaving Selah to spend the day in Kansas City and the PA crew to spend their time in the wonderful city of Columbus. Meanwhile, Elizabeth, Regina and myself held down the fort here at ORD - watching our flights take off and rebooking backups. 



But we are all together now! After a crazy day, we have changed our plans and will head streaight to Belfast by way of London - we're sad to miss out on Dublin but it will be good to connect with our friends in Belfast an evening sooner. 



The fans are of Butch O'Hare, we don't know who Butch is, but we're tired of his airport. A few re-bookings later, and we're boarding within the hour! Thanks for following us, we'll let you know how the first flight went! That's it for now - none of us really have the mental capacity for much else :)
