Hi:
Well Jan and I are finally home. Drove into the garage at 1:58 pm yesterday.
Spent almost 41 hours in either airports or in the air to finally get to Billings at 1:25 AM.
By the time the hotel shuttle picked us up and got to our room it was 2:10 AM
Had to check out of our ICH hotel in Johannesburg at 11 am so hung around the lobby to 4:30.Regent rep walked 13 of us across the street to check into our Air France flight at 7:30 pm. So spent time in the lounge.
Then in Paris we knew the would be a 4 hour wait which turned into 5 1/2 hours. Then boarded had to wait almost an hour before take off because of a strike by union which refuels the planes!!!
Flight from Paris to SLC was fine except we already knew we missed our 3:30 pm connection. Delta had us rebooked on the 6:30 pm flight, but missed it too. So that left us the 11:30 pm flight for Billings which required us
to wait again in the sky lounge for about 7 hours.
Also had blizzard warnings for yesterday but made it home before anything happened. Then the storm stayed farther south and we did not get much.
