So we slept in and missed our flight to California. We woke up just about an hour and fifteen minutes before the flight left. We madly got up and left, but of course we didn’t arrive in time. Plus I forgot my phone, my glasses and my hair brush. After figuring out that we would have to spend the rest of the day on standby in airports we drove back to Holland and retrieved the items I forgot.

As orf this post Eileen and I are sitting and waiting for a gate desk to open to see if we can get on a flight to Dallas. From there we will try to get a flight to  California. It’s going to be a long day.

On the upside I am getting better at using the onscreen keyboard on my tablet. Also I have good access to the New York Times and plenty of reading material on my tablet. I also bought a couple of real books. I don’t really mind delays like this especially when Eileen is with me. She is an excellent travelling companion!
