Blog entry 1 by Karen
So…... here we are on a much delayed flight from Seattle to Toronto. Woke up at 4am to see an e mail from Air Canada saying that due to a mechanical our flight was 2.5 hours late. I called Air Canada to learn that we would miss our Athens connection and they would put us up for the night in Toronto and then rebook us on the following day to Athens. WELL I am just going to say that it is a DARNED good thing we were going a day early!
There was an early sign that things might go this way when the suitcase that Jim ordered for me failed to arrive, and then at the last moment DID arrive, but only after we ordered a second one.
I am typing this while flying over the Great Lakes and it is a bit turbulent. We hit a real airpocket a while back and like veteran travelers we all grabbed our beverages and lifted them in the air….not spilling a drop! Well landing in an hour, and I am passing the tablet to Libby for her blog entry.
Karen signing off for now!
Inexperience traveler gains experience. First lesson: check on the flight information frequently. I showed up at the airport at 5:00 only to learn of the delay. Second lesson: Don't book with Expedia. When they say “no refund for change or cancelation”, they mean it! I learned this after one and one-half hours on the phone trying to get a change of hotel because of the flight delay. I will in the future use Expedia to shop, then call and book with the facility directly. But, all is good and we get a stop over in Toronto! Libby out.
