The Odyssey.

Well nothing has gone to plan, and has instead taken a hard left turn off a cliff. We boarded the first flight to New York, and an hour later we were still on the ground because one of the navigation screens had decided to come in super late to work today. So several hours later after our flight had been canceled, we were told the problem was fixed and we could finally take off. But alas, the ground crew also decided that they wanted to take it nice and slow. At this point we had already missed our original flight, so we were rebooked. Also it was full of screaming children, just lovely. Then when the plane finally got to JFK, we had missed that flight too. And so for the third time we were rebooked. Except for me and matt. After a very complicated process we finally boarded our plane, to come to the grim discovery that me and matt had both been given economy class seats, while everyone else was enjoying the additional leg room and space of economy plus. And now were in heathrow. Waiting for yet another plane. So yeah that was the last 24 hours. The AAs credit the flight to London was the best plane I had ever been on, which is likely the only reason they are still in business. I saw a concord during landing. Yeah, so…American airlines sucks -10/5

  1. From this I can tell you guys had a very smooth start. I to agree with you on that American Airlines puts a lot of effort on making traveling awful. Have fun on the rest of the trip. - Zach

  6. Today has been a sunny and quiet day. Each of us has set a goal for mod work completion. Yea for accomplishments. We enjoyed your first day of comments. Hopefully, most of you are recovered from jet lag, and you are beginning to feel alive again. Lin has created a "Critical Thinking" time in our day as well as some physical activity to keep us awake and energized. Miss all of you. It is 3 pm here. That means all of you are probably asleep and dreaming of your next exciting adventure. Take care. Lin
