Our day started early this morning with the excitement and anticipation of taking BART from West Oakland to San Francisco Airport (SFO). As we rode the train, the dreaded text arrived that stated our flight to Chicago was delayed. Told the kids this was our first part of the journey... FLEXIBILITY! :-) Once at SFO very clear we would not make our connections. As we observed the wildlife... other United Customers yelling at the agents... our nice calm agent did what he could to get us to Marseille, France. That involved waiting until 7:00 p.m. tonight and flying direct to Frankfurt and then on to Marseille.
It's been a fun day at the airport. Most fun was meeting a couple born in Switzerland and on their way to a family reunion. As some know I just had my fun Swiss Family Reunion. They were delayed until tonight also. Lena saw my cell phone and asked if they could call their son. We continued our conversation after the need for a second telephone call and found Switzerland... I wanted to go to Switzerland but it just is not possible this trip. So I think this is the purpose for our delay today was to meet Lena and Henry. They now live in Oakdale and were Grand Marshalls of the rodeo this past year. They loved Grace and Jeremy and tried to slip them money. My kids were good at refusing! But they were persistent! We have an open invite to their home and the rodeo and the horses... so fun!
Okay. WE ARE BOARDING!!!
