the beginning and end of a fateful trip - WOW


5/2/13
2:27 AM the phone ring conveying a message
2:30 AM rang back to confirm
2:35 AM booking 2 flight tickets online
2:50 AM telephoning children
3:30 AM packing
3:45 AM starting from home

then  the hurdles started
1
car started well but it went off failing then to start even with a push
a rescue car from Chris rescued us
2
misplaced an ID card - requested entry through security gate
3
no ATM to take cash in the security enclosure
we had less than 500 between us
4
lost the boarding pass  and couldn't recover
went here and there to resolve the problem
5
directed to the departure - found the boarding card there
had no ID to claim the lost boarding gate
but persuaded the staff - may be by with the help of our greying hairs
and so finally retrieved the boarding card and so boarded the plane

WOW!
8/2/13
1
on return almost hindered and held back by another mishap
2
instead off two - only one return ticket
3
the ticket cost at the booking counter was already high
so book a ticket for the next flight and rescheduled the other ticket
and finally boarded, flew and reached home the same day…. 2 hours late ,,,

WOW! WOW!
