Hello Everyone,
This is Jill, Barb's friend writing on her behalf. I just got off the phone with her. They are on their way to the airport and asked if I could post the latest update of the departure morning.
In trying to make this trip as enjoyable as possible, and by enjoyable we of course are not talking about sipping champagne and chomping on macadamia nuts on the way to Hawaii, but rather using miles to upgrade to First Class so that Shira could be as comfortable as possible (flights are extremely tough on her) on the way to her surgery, keep luggage and check-in hassles to a minimum. They did everything in their power to carefully orchestrate the things that were in their control.
They woke up this morning to a cancelled flight.
Let me repeat that, because the first time Barb said it to me, I was not comprehending the statistical unlikelihood of what she said.
Their flight was cancelled.
We can all fill in the blank of what must have ensued around 6a.m. this morning just after learning of this minor detail. At one point the arilines had tried to split them up and put Mike on a different flight through Miami. Anyway, they are now all flying together on a different airline than the original one. They depart at 10:02 this morning. Seat assignments, (no longer first class, they are lucky if they can even sit together) still to be dealt with at LAX.
In theater, it is said that a dress rehearsal riddled with mishaps is a good sign that the show itself will be flawless. I feel confident that the surgery and post op healing - the real show, is going to be a smashing success. Can't wait until we can give everyone the standing ovation they earned.
Like Barb always says - Hugs
