Everything went swimmingly this morning, we didn't seem to have forgotten anything critical, we arrived at the airport promptly, we presented ourselves to check in automatically and our tickets could not be found in the reservation system. They said they couldn't get us out today, which is a problem, since our flight to Shanghai leaves at 10:35 tomorrow morning from Chicago.
We were rescued by Delta employee Nikia Baker. who rapidly tried a half dozen different itineraries, including taking us out of Valdosta, Panama City and Jacksonville, and in the end she was able to fly us to Tampa, then to Atlanta, and then to Chicago. We'll get in late, but we'll get in tonight and make our flight tomorrow.
The kids were completely cool during this minor crisis, waiting quietly until it was done. Then we piled our stuff together, and went through security, where we enjoyed the super special excellent full body pat down screening, and thereafter I had to listen to Sarah express her distress over a smudge on her new purse. Shortly thereafter, we realized the reason we felt like we had so little luggage was because James left his bag at the Delta counter. The police helped us, and I left the kids with the police while I went to fetch the bag, enjoying another full body pat down on the way back.
So, we're hanging around the airport, waiting for our flight to Tampa.
See, our first small set back, but we are doing fine.
