My in-laws arrived on Monday, but they were almost 6 hours late and had to fly to a different airport. They flew in to JFK, got through immigration just fine, only to find that their connecting flight was canceled. They planned on taking the next flight, only for it to be canceled. That was the last flight to Maryland that day. Well, that wasn't going to work. They ended up having to get a cab and head to Laguardia airport to attempt to catch a flight to National Airport, instead of BWI. Luckily they met up with a few ladies who seemed to know what to do, so they tagged along and made it to the airport safely, only to find that their next flight was once again canceled. This was all going on while they had no way to call us. Being from England, they didn't have the luxury of having a cell phone with them that worked here. They didn't have any change, and no one was really willing to help. They eventually found a British man from North London that traveled to the U.S. frequently. He helped by giving them money and helping them work the phone. Gareth was able to play investigator at one point and track them down by phone in the airport. Long story short, they were finally able to fly in at 9:30 to National airport, and we were there to meet them. This was the first time in over 10 years that they have ever done a connecting flight instead of direct. I don't see that happening again. By the way Andy, mum and Joe day that they don't blame the travel agent, just the bad weather.
On our adoption note, we still haven't heard anything. Pretty frustrated, but at least we have mum and Joe here to do some fun things this week!!!
