It's Sunday night and David and I are finishing up last minute tasks at home in anticipation of our latest guests' arrival. Mike & Antina are due to arrive at 0855 in Bristol on Monday and we're looking forward to seeing them. Not to mention there is a heavy schedule of things to see and do during their visit so we need to be able to pick them up at the airport and head out immediatly to try to fit in both Bath and Salisbury on the first day they are here.
As we finally finish hanging things in the house; the office having been the only room we had not decorated as of this time we receive a call from our guests. As they explain and I watch on both the check-in for their flight as well as the weather channel, there is massive storms over Newark, NJ and their flight into NJ has therefore been delayed to the point where they will miss their connecting flight to arrive in Bristol as anticipated.
They do some quick thinking and with the help of the ticket agent at the counter secure another flight into Bristol on a different airline and completely missing NJ. Their new flight itinery has them going to Charles DeGaulle Airport (France) and then into Bristol. The upside, they get to kind of visit France . . the downside, they won't arrive into Bristol now until 1455.
They hang up to make their boarding call and David and I look at the schedule to see what is feasible for their first day. Things will work out . . we're sure of it!
