So far so... well not so good...

Well things started out pretty crazy yesterday. I got to the airport and there was terrible weather in Dallas. So they canceled all American Airlines flights into DFW, so it was a total mad house in ABIA. Thank goodness for my quick thinking (and witted if I might add) mother, who bought me a ticket on Southwest to get home to dallas.

Well our day continued suit today as well. There was no way that we were going to be able to fly standby out of Dallas today so we decided that we were going to drive to Houston and try and catch a flight on another airlines who would still honor our standby passenger status. So we finally get to the British Air counter and some crazy stuff happened. To make a long story short American didn't add a certain tax to our ticket and we ended up missing our flight.

So right now we're sitting in the airport praying that we are going to be able to get on a flight to London. And we are sending in an extra prayer that we will be able to sit in business class.

Here are some highlights of our trip to London so far:

We saw a mountee (yes like in Canada) in the Walmart parking lot in the woodlands. Horse and all.

Just listening to my parents loving banter with each other. Most of the discussion centered around The Girls Next door and how our family could soooo be a reality show.

Eating subway on the road as we tried to make it to the airport. It's harder than it sounds.

Passing by the prison and the humongous statue of Sam Houston in Huntsville.

Riding a terminal train that was about as small as a matchbox and about as fast as a boat on "It's a small world after all" in Disneyworld.

Hearing my dad begin his British accent for the trip. If you don't know my father, than you should know that his accent will begin to adapt in whatever culture is represented. This includes Mexican restaurants, Chinese Buffets, the british voice on any answering machine. So now that we are going to London, this should be fun.

So if anyone is reading this... say a little prayer that we get on the flight!

I can't wait to see my sister!!!

Cheerio!
