Delays are growing experiences

Well to say the trip started out a bit rocky would be an understatement. The first leg of the flight was delayed which was going to make the rest of our flight a mess. We were going to miss our connection to Paris for sure! After a brief anxiety attack ---- and some major thinking out of the box on my part --- and certainly not that of American Airlines, we have been re-routed! But I got it done. After 7 hours in the DFW airport we will depart soon! But the good thing is that we will make our connection to Benin. Now -- luggage that is a horse of a different color. It will not make it. Could be several days! But we prepared for that! Panties packed! Toothpaste packed. Nothing else matters.

I think I finally get to go catch a plane! Off to Paris!
