What happens in Dulles ... gets stuck in Dulles - September 8th!!

Alright .. you'd think this would be more exciting ... but it's not. 

The day began by us arriving at Pearson Airport at 3:00 am only to find out that the counter didn't open until 4:30 am (that's 90 minutes of sleep I'll never recover).  We arrived in Dulles to be told that our next flight was delayed an hour due a ‘crew delay’.  Apparently a missed alarm could mean catastrophe for a ‘whole lot of travellers’ … but c’est la vie!

Rather than taking a chance on missing our flight at JFK, we decided to hang around Dulles and take another flight to Johannesburg later today.  Well … hanging around actually meant sitting, sleeping, sitting, walking …. for 10+ hours before boarding the plane for an 18 hour flight!

Needless to say we arrived at our destination a little more beaten and battle weary .... 10 hours late but all in one piece.

Now the real adventure will begin!
