I haven’t been blogging much the last few days so I could spend every moment I could with Allison before her trip. She even slept in our bed last night while her dad worked the late shift. Four hours ago Gerry and I took her and my parents to the airport. Passed out hugs and kisses and big smiles. Going to Europe is going to be such a great experience for her ! IF they get there! I got a call about an hour ago from my step dad to let me know their flight to Chicago was delayed because of bad weather. That means they are going to miss their connecting flight to London. He is suppose to call me back as soon as he knows something. I feel so bad. I hate it that they are still sitting here in Detroit waiting for a new connecting flight. It can’t be easy with an eight year old. I hope they call soon with good news.
Update -
I heard back around 10:00 pm that they were rushed on to another connecting flight to Philadelphia and then to London. Putting them only ten minutes later of an arrival time then their original flight. Thank goodness!
I am crying for Allison. When I went on my tour overseas 10 years ago (and I was a 30yo at the time), I had connecting flights from Milwaukee to Detroit to New York to Ireland. I slept in two of those four airports.
