Unravelled travel






As good old Dave flew out to Colorado to work with a client, Dedi and the girls flew to London to combine some tourism and culture with a training course for Dedi.
As I was preparing to drive to Geneva to pick up the girls, Brenna called me from London, almost in tears...her train was stalled and she feared she and Aubrey would miss their flight.
Sure enough Brenna and Aubrey did miss their flight and were forced to try and catch a flight the following Monday morning. Strapped for cash and phone time, Brenna managed to get an airline agent to let her make an international call from their phone. We quickly got her set up with an airport hotel and I headed out the next morning to the Geneva aiport to pay the ticket transfer fees. For some reason this could not be done over the phone. So long story short, the girls finally made it back. Best of all, they both saw the trip as very enjoyable! Highlights were a tour to the Tower castle and two musicals, Spamalot and Wicked!
Oh, and thru a stroke of good fortune, I call Dedi and some train employee answers. Apparently he had just found her phone on a seat! The train was seconds from reaching Dedi's stop and somehow he finds her as she's exiting. Now that's timing!
