Life is full of surprises and mishaps ... hopefully, they are not all as expensive as 100 pound new plane tickets!!
This is an email that I sent from Gatwick Airport:
So I have been stuck at the London Gatwick airport for the past 14 hours - only 4 more hours to go! lol ugh. damn 24 hour clock - our flight was supposed to leave at 7:45 in the morning ... not at night!! aaagh - haha and we witnessed a hit and run right next to us and i have grrreeat pictures of the road rage and swearing and chasing that followed right behind us. oh it was great, and the cab driver was like 'fun to watch isn't it'... weird man ... anyways, we have been here about 14 hours ... only 4 more to go. but on the up side, i have a new appreciation for starbucks. you know how they always have big comfy chairs, well their cushy green ones saved our lives even though they closed at nine - we were lucky that the chairs are outside in this big lounge area. so we pulled them together to make a fort and make our beds - the pictures are quite enjoyable as we have a centerpiece with an empty water bottle with a burger king balloon sticking out of it. later that night we drank wine out of burger king cups - classy, right? and then even better ... we had a scavenger hunt in the airport! (in teams of two, lol.) except that a few of our clues got swept up by the cleaning man! anyways i gotta run, but i will talk to ya'll later!!
It was written extremely late/early so please excuse the haphazard manner in which I wrote it. Sorry if it doesn't make much sense. But yes, this was not a good start to our trip! Again, though, life is an adventure, and I wouldn't trade those memories for anything! Not even the extra night we were supposed to have in Madrid! (Plus, we sat next to our Spanish Fabio on the plane ride there.)
