Day 1 - Planes Trains and Automobiles!!!!

Well, we are off to a "planes, trains and automobiles" start. Liz and John brought us to the airport for our 1:30PM departure, but apparently the weather in Philly is bad, we have watched our flight move from 1:30 to 2:48 to 4:18, not a good trend. We moved our leg from Philly to LAX from 4pm to 6pm, now that is looking tight.....yada, yada, .....

You may know the rest of the story by now. Our flight was moved out to 5:30 which meant missing our connnecting flight in Philly and hence the flight to Auckland.......We have changed Airlines, flights and departing date to Saturday May 2nd. Needless to say Fred is not a happy camper. June is a little more optimistic but fighting back the tears over losing 24 hours of vacation time. We will replay the scenario tomorrow with Liz and John. In the meantime, our faithful friends Steve and Patti have graciously offered to let us spend the night with them in their new cottage on Coates Island. So, we are looking at beautiful Lake Champlain on Mallett's Bay and sipping (guzzling) wine and beer right now, not a bad exchange. Stayed tuned.
