Dallas Fort Worth. Day 11. 19th April.
Well a shocker day. Got up early to poring rain. Shuttle to airport and discovered I'd booked a flight to Love-field airport instead of Fort worth. Was ready to rebook and pay but checkin assured me cheaper to get a taxi to Fort worth. So...... plane delayed due to rain, arrived got taxi and arrived too late to board.....bugger!!! Then spent 5 hours talking to American Airlines and Finnair on the phone. No help. Finally took a bus to AA main desk and paid for an early flight out tomorrow morning. Then checked into a cheap hotel near the airport. Got their shuttle and very impressed with the hotel and close to lots of takeaway places.
Rang my travel agent.....finally found their urgent number and she has confirmed flights onwards tomorrow....for a few. So will arrive a day late into Lisbon. Have informed my friends Marianne and JO. Now time to sleep as up at 4am to ensure I get there on time. Strewth what a day!!!!

ReplyDeleteWoohoo...that worked. Yes...love reading about the history. So Atlanta was a decisive moment. Those gorgeous period homes. But oh a nightmare of a journey to Lisbon! Hope that you are reading this with your friends. K x
ReplyDeleteHope you eventually arrive safely.I have a friend in Portugal at the moment and it looks fantastic
ReplyDeleteWhat a b#gger! Hopefully the worst event in your travels. At least it happened in a country where "English" is first language and you didn't have to connect with a tour. Thinking of you.
