Scotland Trip Postponed

I can't believe that I am actually caught up on my blog finally. Maybe I will actually try to keep up with it and let you all know what is going on in our lives.

There is one thing that I have left out and that is about our Scotland trip. Clint and I had been planning for some time to make a trip to Scotland to visit Liz Cail and Kevin Peters. Not only were we excited to visit them, but to see the country which neither one of us have ever seen and to celebrate our one year anniversary!

Originally our trip was scheduled for August 10-17. Thursday the 10th we had all our bags packed and Karen drove us to the airport in Altenburg, about 45 minutes away from Chemnitz. When we arrived we saw a really long line of people and a camera man approached us and a woman stuck a microphone in Clint's face and proceeded to ask him what he thought about all the flights being cancelled that were going into London. We had no idea what was going on because we had just walked into the room so we just told them our German wasn't that good and the guy went on to explain what was happening.

Because of the terrorist plot that had been stopped in London all the flights had been cancelled. We were supposed to fly into London and then drive to Scotland from there. We were really disappointed about that and waiting in line for about 2 hours, hoping we could rebook our tickets for another time. By the time we made it up to the counter they were telling us they couldn't get us a flight out until Monday, which would make our trip from Monday to Thursday which we didn't think would be worth it for how much we paid. We tried changing the second flight but that would have cost almost 400 euros more. So we instead got a refund and later found tickets to fly from August 19-27. Right now that is the plan and hopefully it will go smoothly.

I hope your week is going better than that!
