The Trip That Just Wouldn't Start

June 9 was supposed to be the day that the Christison family left on their 3 week trip to Britain, Germany, and Austria...it didn't.  Bad weather on the East Coast cancelled our flight.  So we were scheduled on the next day's flight.  It too was cancelled.  You can live out of a suitcase when you're on vacation, but it's quite difficult to do so when you are at home!

Knowing we couldn't count on the weather, Dom and I decided to rent a car to drive to Dulles to pick up the overseas flight.  The people on the phone at United told Dom to GO to the desk at the Norfolk airport and ASK FOR AN UPGRADE TO BUSINESS CLASS!!!!!

I am sitting here writing this to you because that is just what we did.  We are in the Red Carpet Business lounge eating and drinking and surfing ...and enjoying this!  It's been years since I (Kat) flew business - again a bump up - and the rest of the gang has never experienced it.  Don't know if it will be nicer than before or not, but we'll let you know later.

What a sweet treat for this woman who has been anxious and worried and an all over mess the past 3 weeks.  Praise you Lord!

Wow!
