Life never seems to go smoothly. I was so nervous and ready to go, and now I’m sitting in a hotel room waiting. Our flight was delayed, and delayed, and delayed. And then finally canceled and rescheduled for 24 hours from the original time. However it was mechanical issues that caused the delay with the plane, so I’m very happy they caught it and were able to fix it.
Only downside was sitting in the airport for 4 hours waiting to find out our flight wasn’t going to leave the ground. And the waiting made for a very unhappy baby. I sure had my hands full with him last night.
They let us get our bags from the baggage claim and settled us into the hotel attached to the airport for the night. It’s a pretty fabulous room and very spacious for just the two of us. Silas had been sleeping and playing while we waited for our plane so he ate the food I had on me. So I was starving when we finally got to our room. And luckly for me, the room service food was amazing! Expensive, but amazing. I had a steak sandwich and it was so good (and not just because I was starving) which made the whole delay seem a hell of a lot better! Now all there is to worry about today is figuring out my connection once we arrive in Iceland, as they will have to rebook us.
The sun is starting to come up and I have no doubt that my little monster will be up shortly and terrorizing the airport. Ugh. 12 hours till takeoff. All spent in the airport. Wish me luck
