best laid plans of spouse and men...
weather in midwest crippled flights to darn near everywhere!!
I never saw so many HK's in my life--every LIM flt had 35-50 inconvenienced/misconnected pax
Mostly I think due to tour groups that "had" to fly together--one large Asian bunch of about 15 on one standby list. those poor people were helpless and clueless about anything. GA's had trouble pronouncing names and group had deer in headlights look--like a little herd of goats in the road.
we moved hotel/taxi arrangements so many times I got dizzy. Finally realized we MIGHT get on in anotehr day and it was too much sitting in ATL hotel.
So we tried IST, ATH, MAD, BCN--HKG, SEA--you name it, we couldn't get to gateway in NY or DTW or ANYWHERE. except one flight to MCO was open and we headed there and went to sister's in Daytona.
WHat a disaster!
SOOOO--I talked Boss into going during his no fly days. The hotel was going to cancel 100% if I didnt give new dates yesterday.
More when I get there!!
Palms--tell your brotehr about a Pisco distillery: El Sarcay de Azpitia. It's where my friends went without us and said it was great!
