OH NO....SAY IT ISN'T SO!!!!!!!!

Well, the trip really started out well. We got to the Charleston AFB , checked in, had plenty of time and sat dreaming of our time in Europe. We got through roll call and onto the plane, which is about the size of a football field, at least it seemed! Then came the news...a bad navigational light...about and hour to repair. Which means that we would get into Dover too late for either flight to Germany. And that is what happened. We got into Dover around 1:00 AM and found that there was nothing else going out....by 4:00 AM we were checking into a hotel in Dover.....not what I had planned, but with Space A it is all about FLEXIBILITY! Fatigue had set in and we both collapsed in our bed. Up in the AM after 4.5 hours sleep and back to the airport. There is a plane going out this afternoon, but if everyone shows up, it is full Another plane is going but carrying hazardous material, which right now doesn't seem like a problem to me... So our best bet is late tonight......so here we sit in the Dover airport....not quite Europe, but maybe we can pretend! However, we're meeting some wonderful people who have done this before and promise us that eventually we will have our feet on European soil, and it will all be worth it once we get to Italy,,,,,
Ciao for now....
