Yesterday I left Chicago, Midway, fulling intending to be in Brussels, or en route to Kenya by now. I was up early, traveled to Midway, boarded a plane for Atlanta. Upon landing in Atlanta, quickly got to the gate to board my plane for Brussels, only to find that I, as well as a few others did not yet have seat assignments, and the flight was overbooked. We were not going to get on. After the initial panic subsided, (thanks to my friends and their prayers and encouraging texts)and an hour working with an international ticket agent, I had a new itinerary, an amenities kit, food vouchers, and a hotel voucher.
Thankfully, my team had not yet left Ohare, (I was going to meet up with them in Brussels) and responded to a text, so they got the heads up that I would not see them in Brussels, and to check email for further notice. Hopefully they did by now.
So, along with the two others, who also did not get on the plane, we found the bus to our hotel. I'm so thankful I packed a change of clothes in my cary on! Now in a few hours, I will be leaving Atlanta for Amsterdam, and then fly to Kenya. I have yet to leave the US and this has already been quite a trip!
Please pray that I will make all my connections, and that I won't have any other issues with my travel.
I'll let you know how it goes. This is going to be quite an adventure, I can tell. It already has been!
Blessings!
Laura
