Flying from Kuwait to Frankfurt was great, even if KWI was on full speed wackiness with every person possible leaving on the Freedom flights out of the country.
Breakfast in Frankfurt one last time with the BFFs was great fun, mmmm saugsage and beer at 630 am, doesn't get any better.
Flying to Chicago was good, even slept a couple hours. The joy of being short is that I can curl up almost anywhere. The floor worked well for some solid winks.
Getting to Chicago, going through customs was piece of cake, took less time than it took to stand in line in Kuwait.
We were at the gate a 1:15 for our 3:14 flight. Life was good. We were happy seeing green and flying over the Great Lakes.
HOWEVER, it was not in our flying gods to make it to Fargo on time. Here's a brief, all true version of what happened.
1:15 pm Flight to Fargo loading at F1
2:00 pm Flight to Fargo moved to F11
2:25 pm Flight to Fargo moved back to F1
3:00 pm Flight to Fargo all go, plane has landed
3:15 pm Flight to Fargo cancelled. Take next flight out at 830 pm
5:00 pm Flight to Fargo moved to F12
6:00 pm Flight to Fargo moved to F11
7:15 pm Flight to Fargo delayed to 9:10 pm
7:35 pm Flight to Fargo moved to F1 (*original gate)
8:15 pm Flight to Fargo on the ground, flight time changed to 830 pm
8:19 pm NWB signs off on this computer and hops to get getting on plane
It's good to be home (!?)
