Not Morocco!
So as my bad luck would have it I'm still in the UK tonight as is my family. I also apologize if this is full of spelling erros. I'm using internet via TV and its impossible to make out what you're typed since its really blurry. WEll anyway I made it to the airport as you all know by now and got through security just fine. Wehn it came time to board our plan my parents were nowhere in sight. The real shocker was that I wasn't allowed to board and my bag had already been pulled. It turned out that the ticket I'd been given was my Mom's and that she, thinking I hadn't arrived, had cnelled her trip along with Dads. It is amazing that I made it through security with a ticket in someone else's nameSo I was a biworried at this point since I couldn't contact my parents on account of Mom's cell not working in the UK so I had no idea where they were or why they'd ccancelled. It took awhile but I was escorted back out of security and once my identity was established and the situation figured out I was allowed to go. Just at that moment my cell got a signal and a person my parents had contacted at the airport info desk managed to get a hold of me. By this time I had been dragged from counter to counter by airport staff, trying to put together my story and that of my parents. I knew that my parents had been intears all day and that Dad had been flat on the floor he was so upset. I was finaly reunited with them after hours of stress.
We spent the rest of the evening with teh airline trying to make up for its awful mistake. They did take care of our hotel in Morocco and booked us for a flight tomorrow night. We also have a hotel near the airport at a reduced rate because of them. The place is simple but very comfy. the only thing that isn' t ok is that we're so close to the airport that we can hear the PA and feel the airplanes take off and land. I don' t mind the noise but the building vibrates and that is a little strange. At this point I'm pretty pooped though. Its been a very emotional 48 hours. I'm hoping the rest of break will be better and not worse.
Best to all. Hope to hear from you soon. TGA you should skype Zora and I at a meeting or a party. We'd certainly do a cross the pond drink or two with you.If nothing else we miss your faces and voices.
